The flip side of the coin

Make about 10 copies of his house key, print up some business cards with his address offering free beds, meals, showers, hand jobs, bum sex....

Go out on the town tonight and hand them out to Blanket mans chums.

new and improved.

hummmm.....A new "uses for waste oil" springs to mind

A few years ago a bloke that hadn't paid for a FA50 scooter tyre parked it near the smoko shop that the bike shop boys used.
He came back to it to find the bike all perfectly assembled, but minus the tyre.
He then had to pay to have the bike recovered to the shop & pay to have it fitted again, up front this time.

I've always found certain Poms seem to have this fucked up sense of entitlement...this is one of those.

why thank you for those kind words Pete.....
may you be forced to drink 10 cups of your own coffee.......

Lol. Glad you noticed the word *certain*. Thank fuck I don't drink coffee.

[Flip]

Thank fuck I don't drink coffee.

We could tell but were too polite to say anything.

Reposess the battery since you have the key for the bike.

[pritch]

Plod would do FA. Pity though.

Yeah but you could put it on their books as stolen for future reference.

Trades people/shops have limited recourse for goods they sell that aren't payed for. You could have kept the bike until he payed for the battery but he got around that basically by stealing it which may open your options.

A more KB solution might be for you to advertise the smartarse's key for sale on Trademe with rego detail and his address. Somebody might be willing to pay enough for that to recover cost of the battery. Then again, they'd prolly want to steal the key.

[willytheekid]

Sorry to hear Pete

...my 2 cents

CRY HAVOC...AND RELEASE THE NODROGS OF WAR!!

Oh...and Pics please! (I want to see the look of pure disgust and fear on his face please Nodrog)

[cheshirecat]

Thank fuck I don't drink coffee.

Now you say that. Explains that concoction you offer.

Anyway you guys can hold your heads high. Law of averages you get one over the years.

Lol. Easy now!

That much is true, but it's the gutless and smarmy style of this particular theft that really pisses us off.

Nodrog will fuck with the guy tirelessly for his own entertainment until he is confused & anxious.
Especially if he can get his hands on the guys trademe name & work or business address, which it seems isint difficult for him to do.
It is probably worth the cost of the battery just for the entertainment value.

[JimO]

what you need to do is sneak over and replace the battery with a dud one and wait till he comes back to complain then kick him in the goolies

[SVboy]

Cassina is in da house! i,m in!

[sidecar bob]

Take the spare key & turn the ignition to park lamp position to flatten the battery.
Keep the key, repeat randomly of an evening until bored with it.

[Crasherfromwayback]

Did your boss put on the invoice what exactly the bill was for in that it was for an alternator check/test and battery charge only?

Of course.
