    As the title says I caught a guy in a van from a big chain of polish shops trying to dump outside my house, got him just in time so no mess to clean up. he jumped back in and drove off, I went to one of there shops to get the managers number only after I told him I have it on cctv he said he would call me back, he sent the driver back to apologise. that clown admitted it wasnt his first time. I told him I wanted his boss to ring me and explain what he will do about it no call so I rang them I was told not to ring again that they didnt care.

    so boardsies how can I make them care.:mad:
    ps will upload video to youtube later.

    Burn the building down and if the cops call tell them dont call again as you dont care

    You should have a litter warden in your area. Give them a copy, and just maybe some real enforcement action will be taken.

    Then again, it might not, all depends on how clear the video is, and how sure they can be about the actions, or potential actions.

    Shore, if it was easy, everybody would be doin it.😁

    Ring the council and have these leeches prosecuted!

    Polish or polish?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,837 ✭✭✭intellectual dosser


    They have an email address? You should put them forward to a few online subscriptions they may be interested in. It requires very little effort on your part however you won't have the enjoyment of watching your revenge in process.

    Shoe polish :confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,318 ✭✭✭✭Menas


    Upload to youtube is a good one. Hopefully the shop name is on the side of the van and visible in the video?
    Perhaps tip off your local paper about the video? If it is a slow news day then they may be interested.

    But remember the shop folks know where you live, so expect a few beatings from some unemployed poles.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 507 ✭✭✭...__...


    Done that but as he didnt get a chance to get the crap out of the van no action can be taken our warden is brilliant i give him tons of work ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 507 ✭✭✭...__...


    oh the name is on the side in big letters
    apologies to the big chain of shoe polish companies and mr sheen you know it wasnt you

    When you say 'polish', do you mean polish or Polish? I need to know whether I should respond with cleaning-product-based puns or just the usual thinly veiled racism.

    Ring the Council and the Gardai - dumping is becoming a scourge in our cities (I have to deal with it nearly every week on a massive scale). Have them make an example of these cretins


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,299 ✭✭✭✭The Backwards Man


    Get a wee spitfire and an old pilot and fly over to their shop and shine all their products.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,547 ✭✭✭Foxhound38


    Oh and name and shame the business - possibly with a letter to local media too if you have proof of the act.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,699 ✭✭✭The Pheasant2


    You can't get hit with defamation if they actually ARE breaking the law right?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,680 ✭✭✭Stargate


    I want to see the video :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,699 ✭✭✭The Pheasant2


    As much as I despise them with every fibre of my being; maybe give the story to the daily mail? They'll whip up a **** storm for certain


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,395 ✭✭✭✭mikemac1


    Local paper OP, they will love a story like this

    Also put it on YouTube


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,449 ✭✭✭Call Me Jimmy


    but daily mail will have "Polish Race Responsible For All Illegal Dumping"


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,288 ✭✭✭sawdoubters


    you need to call the garda and local council


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,720 ✭✭✭Sir Arthur Daley

    Ive highlighted the important parts of your post, OP. Are you sure you want to bring some kind of hardship on a large outfit, with a large number of people, who know where you live?

    Will it be worth it? If your single, go for it but if youve got a family in that house with you then I would really reconsider. The law is as crooked as it is straight and theres one of you, and what, 50+ of them?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 507 ✭✭✭...__...


    See the problem is tey attempted to dump because i caught them as they were about to spill the first bag out of the van they didnt actually dump so no action can be taken by the council. every week we get hit with tons of rubbish being dumped its an isolated street in dublin more like a country lane.

    Not like those Polish shops at all

    Presumably if you have proof of the act, it's just reporting the event

    Then I would suggest gathering numbers. One man will do nothing against a crowd who seem like they hold a similar regard for the law to another ethnic minority I could mention.. Hold a meeting and organise some kind of minor area alert where at least some people are keeping an eye or ear out. But be warned, you may well be met with a lack of Care.

    Contact your your nearest farmer for a loan of a "Muck Spreader " roll up to your nearest chain shop and let rip with a load of liquid **** ,

    So for this Muckspreader gadget OP why not pay a visit to Farming & Forestry Forum and PM some boardsie there whose posts look reasonable - I've posted in Farming and Forestry myself, they do actually talk sensibly to townie folk too.;)

    Should have kept this private. Made copies of video footage and blackmailed. Too late now, you could have gotten free Polish goods for life.

    Stick a copy of the video in a package with a note saying (a grand and this gets burned and nobody needs to hear about it) into their letterbox.

    Find out were he lives, go to the house and seduce his wife, talk her into divorcing him, then marry her yourself. Once married try for kids. Once the kid is born, take a photo and upload it to facebook. Then most importantly tag him in the photo. Simple


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,894 ✭✭✭UCDVet


    Nothing will happen.

    You could call some people, leave a message, sit on hold, fill out some paperwork. Whatever.

    The business owners are saving lots of money doing this. They have an interest here. You don't. How much of your time are you going to waste on it? They *might* (but probably won't) get fined. But you won't see any of that money.

    How good is the quality on the CCTV footage? The business owner will say he had no knowledge of it and, of course, that is not the company policy. They'll say, 'Who was the driver' and he'll give over the name of some Polish guy that, it just so happens, has left the country. But sure, sure, the guy that did it....he was working alone and you can't be held responsible for someone else's actions.

    If you go after them yourself, you are far more likely to get caught and actually get in trouble. Presumably you live a non-criminal life which means you have plenty to lose and little experience breaking laws. You could do something, but....

    1.) It won't benefit you. It might trivially annoying the business owner, but eh...
    2.) Nothing you can/are willing to do is going to change this guys attitude.

    So really, there isn't much point.
