Stolen from van

Premier

Was just at an estate in the waterford area, I was booked in to fit a new sky dish with quad and to run cable into 4 rooms. At the property there was 2 existing sky dish`s fitted, 1 to the rear and 1 on the chimney stack which were completely rusted through to oblivion. the person at the property wanted me to fit a quad onto 1 of the existing dish's, and I explained to them that I would not recommend this given the condition of these 2 dish's and that a new dish would have to be fitted, they were not happy with this to say the least and i was getting ready to leave when i turned my back to help my co worker put ladders away when the man of the house took a sky dish from the back of my van brought it into the house and locked the door!!! Any way just a warning to any dealers in my area, contact me and i will foward details of the address and tel numbers so no one else is caught in this manner.
I didnt want to post the details here as im not sure of the rules of the forum with this.

Anyway im so busy at the moment didnt have time to wait for the guards to come.

Im gobsmacked:eek:

Well i treat everyone as good as the last person regardless of race or color?

thought i could leave the van open "while it was parked in the driveway"

If it had to be a meter santa would be coming down the chimney early with a christmas box
Just hadn't time to wait a couple of hours for police, but home now for sport and a cuppa

You should report this pathetic excuse for a person to the gardai, there's no way you should just let it go.

No their not travellers, I have over 20 settled traveller families on my books and they have a lot of respect for me and vice versa. They were from south africa.

That's really bad form especially since you were trying to do the right thing by them.

What is it with South Africans? In the last 10 years or so I have run across quite a few who have moved to Ireland - most were white, but all were arrogant with an amazing sense of entitlement. That accent doesn't endear either!
(oh dear I have probably offended the PC brigade.... I'll expect a missive from that outfit run by that foreign woman...emmm... Residents Against Racism or something?)

Wouldn't it be amazing if their new dish mysteriously fell down and broke some night.;) You know how things like this happen with extreme weather.:)

wouldn't it be unfortunate if someone who knows their Sky account number called Sky to cancel movies over Christmas or the rugby matches.....

Racism.

There are loads of Irish people that are untrustworthy.

I know some Black(various sorts) & many White(both tribes) South Africans. Most of the ones I know are above average Irish Honesty & Reliability. I know nothing bad about the rest.

It's totally terrible Satpaul getting Dish pinched. South Africans is nothing to do with it and to go on about them in this Technical forum detracts from it.

Just my 2c

Don't know which is sadder, reading the shameful OP event or the equally shameful 'revenge' posts.
Dropping to the original shameful event level drags us all down, grow up
