COMMENT:
Hi Jeff
I am on your email circulation list.
I have just (last 5 mins) returned from a shopping trip and noticed a
white van parked up in our cul de sac. A young man wearing a dark green
sweatshirt with Chelsea Gardens on it embroidered in white got out of the
van and walked up my drive saying something along the lines of - he had
been let down by a customer who had ordered some teak garden furniture and
he was unable to deliver it today. Would I be interested ?
Needless to say I said no.
This may all be perfectly innocent, but it seemed a bit suspicious to me
and the young man was very uncomfortable while talking to me. He couldn't
make eye contact and he shuffled from foot to foot as if he was
embarrassed. They drove off. It could be someone is missing some garden
furniture. It's a funny time of year to be delivering this type of
furniture.
I was really grateful for this email,
as it does show up a huge point. This should have been an immediate call
to the police on the 101 number. This is clearly a 'suspicious incident'
and the police should have been called so that they could come out and
have a look at the van and the furniture, in case the items were stolen.
They may well totally legitimate and they let you think they are stolen,
so that you feel you are getting a bargain on the price !!! Please ,
please remember, if you buy something like this – in these circumstances
and at a very obviously reduced price – you run the risk of being
arrested for handling stolen goods !!!! Not a risk worth running. We did
get the index number of the van though ! Well
done.
