Finders Keepers

[EssexTech]

Last Christmas(a few days before) we had snow in Essex and I finished late at work(pissed off) one night. Walking back to the car I noticed someone had stuff a cardboard box under the car. Naturally i thought one of the lads was having a laugh and placed it under there to see if I would drive off without noticing. Unlucky I thought as I pulled out the box which happened to be a brand new Lenovo laptop without any details on it. Also underneath was a boxed bottle of champane. Nearby were to Parcel delivery firms but there were no id marks on the items. So like a good boy I thanked Father Christmas for my present but told him he was a bit of a twat as I could have quite easily run over them.

Anybody else had the same luck..

A few years back, on a cold morning, about a week before christmas, i went to the cash machine to get some money on the way to work.
Sat on the front of it was a small brown envelope labelled only 'Dave'.
I took it, i opened it, it contained ?260.
Thanks Dave or Santa or whatever you want to be called

get all sorts of stuff left in the taxi phones laptops fags purses. Always check under the seats after weekend nightshifts and usually find 5-10 quid per week under there.

Ive found 2 wallets one with 460 quid in and a purse/wallet with 300 quid in and gold card.
I opened the wallet and it said it was made in Wales.
I picked a lady up the day before in my cab and she was from Wales and went back to the hotel from where i picked her up from and left my details.
To cut a long story short she sent me a letter telling me i restored her faith in human kindness
She sent me 20 quid for my trouble.
Can imagine what most are thinking,mug

bill came home one night pissed and went the loo, i heard him falling about and what sounded like the cistern lid being lifted, so i waited until he came out and checked the cistern inside i found 140 quid floating about in it, got it out and put it in the airing cupboard to dry out then made good use of it once it had

Looking around when walking also prevents you from being run over, stabbed and a myriad of other nasty deaths!!!!

My daughter , then 10 years old , and I found a wallet near our parked car .Wanting to lead by example I promptly marched off to the local cop shop to hand it in (hoping for a reward of course)only to confronted by the owner as he reconized his wallet ,grabbing it from us and shouting " it better bloody well all be there " counting the money as he marched off ,with not even a thank you .
Amazed and disheartened I made up my mind , if that ever had to happen again ,I will just pocket it .It was a great lesson in human nature for the daughter .

owner as he reconized his wallet ,grabbing it from us and shouting " it better bloody well all be there " .

1) Did you say "you have your money now ~~~~ off"

2) OFF TOPIC- BUT YOU SAID HUMAN NATURE:-

Getting pished off with these "take adavtage of a govment backed schemce" etc etc calls - if you ask nicly or just shout at them, you still get the calls.

Well today, somebody somewhere will properbly be taking M-H-M phone number* off the list, got ready with a humperpack, set of airhorns, ear defenders, call went something like:-


RING RING:-

MH:- Hello Meat-Heat-Motors, what the ~~~~ do you want?
CALL:- Nitwest, Barcleys and somebody else have been delcreaded #DRIVEL DRIVEL# - press 2 on your phone keypad to speak to an operater <PRESSES 2, slips ear defenders on, holds phone next to air horns>
CALL:- Hi there your through to....
MH:- <flicks humper pack on> PARRRRRP

Then just slammed the phoned down and got nothing but
"You sick puppy" from ALL members of 'Team Meat'


* Acutally it's the number for the morque the other side of town, we figured it would be cheaper to slip Nev ?50, to tap into their phone line - how many times in your life do you ring the morgue?
