    Just call into the premises and tell the staff you are taking the safe - no problems & no questions will be asked!

    To avoid embarrassment, I won't mention the town or the premises, but I requested that a large grade 4 safe be removed from my premises (700kg weight) - gave full address details and the guys who were to remove it never turned up.

    Rang them this afternoon, and they said they had turned up at the requested time and had removed the safe. - I told them I was sitting on the safe in my premises, so this was not possible.

    Seems they called into a premises at the other end of the particular street and just told the staff they were removing the safe and were allowed to do so.


    Hopefully when they return the safe they took today, the other company will see the funny side! :)

    It is unbelievable what one can get away with with a high vis jacked and a bit of confidence

    It's called a Bavarian Fire Drill. And is really quite funny.

    i once knew a junkie (my schoolfriend's much older brother) who'd go into dixon's wearing a hi-vis vest, and actually ask some young member of staff or another to help him carry televisions out of the shop with him.

    balls of fcuking steel.

    The other company should be grateful for having been made aware of some absolute planks that they employ!

    eh, yea, like the story i was told only today about a nacker that walked into an industrial estate in athlone, noticed a new guy driving a forklift in one of the companies,went over to him told him to get off it and he got on it and drove off down to blackberry lane where he lived. . . A neck like a jockeys bollocks i tell you.




    Editors note: (that would be me)

    The word nacker or Knacker is not used to describe a member of our esteemed and of course very marginalised travelling community. The word Knacker is used to describe members of the travelling community that steal sh1t

    Apparently some couple in England did something like this. They wore suits look very business like and hi vis vests. Walked into Tesco store house asked the workers to move some of the more valuable things into a truck. They made off like Persian kings

    Heard of a similar heist in a petrol station. Two lads came in with briefcase and suits, which had the embroidered logo of the company on it, and on their ties. They told the bloke behind the counter that they were from head office, and were there to 'update the till system'. Shop worker said he'd have to call the boss. Rings the boss and explains, he says yeah let them do what they need to do. The two lads walk into the back office, open briefcase and take out shotgun, empty the safe and make off. Stinger.

    The reverse of this happened to us when we were about to move into our new home in 2003. Our fireplace was supposed to be fitted mid week but when we checked the house at the weekend it hadnt arrived so we contacted the fireplace people. They were adamant that they had fitted it. We lived in an small estate with a cluster of roads, less than 40 houses in total, and most of the rest of the estate was few years old and well established. However it turned out that there was another no. 6 in the estate and thats where our fireplace had ended up.
    Actually now that I write it down, it's not near as funny as your story about the safe. Nice one that!

    Happened in a hotel near me too

    Two guys were walking down a fire escape of a hotel with a cigarette machine and this dumb bint of a manager stops them and asks them what they're doing. They promptly reply that they are taking the machine away for repair as its broken.

    "Oh" she says, "Thats Great. While you're at it, there's one on the top floor that's not working, would you look at that one too?" to which they replied - No Problem

    I knew a girl years back who walked into Boots in Galway and did a smaller scale version of this.

    Some makeup company was running a scratch card promotion - you get a card with every purchase and there was the chance of winning a car on the cards.

    She walked in, very well dressed, holding a clipboard and speaking in a fake English accent. Told them there'd be a printing error on the cards and walked out with several hundred of the cards.

    She didn't win the car but it was impressive in a weird way.
