Barleycorn
between milkings today? Standard Daricool water-jacket tank, situated on a
busy road. Beggars belief. My sister rang the local scrap dealer, who said
that he couldn't understand it, price of stainless steel has halved this
week. Seems the strangest theft ever, unless you know
different...............!

How about a bag of dirty washing?
Or a car that was stolen, about 1000 miles put on it in a week, and then
abandoned in the place it was stolen from. It was washed and polished
(filthy when stolen), full tank of petrol (was nearly empty) and had a
radio fitted (none before). It had to be someone "borrowing" it for a
holiday.
There will be lots more but I'm tired at the moment and having
difficulty in remembering them.

Had the police caught the 'user' what would he have been charged with?
Clearly he had no intention of perminently depriving the owner.

Likewise except I fell off a barn roof (no excuses) and spent 4 days in
our local *high dependency unit*.
Apparently I have 5+ broken ribs, broken collar bone, broken shoulder
blade and lacerated lungs.
This is coinciding with rebuilding 2 barns following arson attacks,
dealing with loss adjusters and worrying about hay and cereal harvest.
Thank heavens for kind neighbours!

OUCH !!!

Lungs and ribs do take a while to heal and can get honery if you try and do

Try this one:
http://cps.gov.uk/legal/section9/chapter_b.html#44
Taking a Conveyance without Authority, contrary to section 12 of
the Theft Act 1968
This offence is committed when a person takes a conveyance
without the owner's consent or other lawful authority for his
own or another's use, or, knowing that any conveyance has been
taken without such authority, drives it or allows himself to be
carried in it or on it.
It is a summary offence, which carries a penalty of imprisonment
for a term not exceeding 6 months and/or a fine not exceeding
level 5 on the standard scale and discretionary disqualification
from driving.
Also:
http://cps.gov.uk/legal/section9/chapter_a.html#09
Using a vehicle without insurance
Under section 143(1)(a) RTA 1988 "a person must not use a motor
vehicle on a road or other public place unless there is in force
in relation to the use of that vehicle by that person.a policy
of insurance .". Under section 145 the policy must be issued by
an authorised insurer and must insure for death or bodily injury
to any person, or damage to property, caused by, or arising out
of, the use of a vehicle on a road in Great Britain, i.e. third
party insurance.

No, I didn't catch him/her/them. It was highly likely that the owner
would not have signed the charge sheet.
There was no need to prove permanently depriving the owner as it would
have been taking a conveyance (S12); one section of the Theft Act that
doesn't have that requirement. It also only carries three years
imprisonment.

This may well be the case today, I know that a lot of penalties have
been downgraded by this government (tough on crime, tough on the causes
of crime, remember) and, since I am retired, I have not kept up with
many such details. However, this happened in the early 1970s when the
penalties in the Theft Act still applied and there was a three year
imprisonment (max) for this offence.

A very kind thought. I have an appointment with my own doctor tomorrow
morning when I will try to extract some sensible recovery time scales.
One neighbour has offered to harvest the Barley and another is planning
to take some of my spare grass.
Fortunately I already have a temporary factotum doing odd jobs before
going back to Bangkok.
Repairing the barns will have to wait as I doubt the insurance will run
to employing erectors and I really need to build in some extra security.

Well both of you take care - some time spent not working now could
save you from incapacity later.
Hope you both recover quickly (that back and tingling arm ought to go

A friend remained on in the house after the land was sold for housing,
would drive into Dublin every day, the wife wouldn't stay in the house
alone, and would knit in the office all day, doors and windows of the
house barred and locked, eventually the visitors got in by pulling the
slates from the roof, so the old couple gave up, and moved in with
their son.

By the sound of it you should get that checked out pretty quickly.
Tingling and clcking sounds like pressure on the spinal nerve which
needs to be sorted.

Hopefully not
That is what I got for 6 weeks BEFORE they finally gave in to my requests
for an Xray to see that I had a vertebrae out by a 1/3 of its width and the
pedicles were disintegrating and the whole lot needed fused.
I live with that Xray image knowing just how close to complete paralysation
I was.
But yes - you need to get it sorted.

Commiserations to her.
I KNOW and appreciate exactly how lucky I am - before during and after.
Mine was 10 years ago now and things had moved on considerably.
They continue to do so.
Its still not something to do lightly but by then I had exhausted all other
alternatives.
Now I just wish I could get out from the office / shop as much as I love and
value the customers. But being front of house all the time does little for
reinstating previous activity levels.
