Macc Lads, now there's a blast from the past!

Facebook is good for this type of stuff. My local group has had some good results with burglaries, lost pets, return of lost property etc. It’s a useful social tool despite all the hate it gets.
I can read your posts with ease mate. If it makes it easier for you, crack on. Dyslexia’s no joke, my mate who’s got it had a terrible time when he came to the Christmas party dressed as Satan.

Something on Facebook

Get an address

Lol
I know
But most people in here
Have been really good about it
And apparently not everyone
Can see my signature
Depending on device used
And settings
On the whole people have been
Very positive about it
So thanks for that

How can it bother people to make ridiculous comments on something he has no control over? Some people really are stupid.
Well approximately 6 hours
After the theft
Got name of the guy within
3 minutes
And now been given an address too
Not too shabby at all
Makes you wonder why police
Don't use Facebook groups
To catch thieves lol
Or perhaps they do but keep
It quiet

Indeed...
total opposite, I think it looks great. I always try to read his posts as poetry, and surprisingly they're better than 99% of the **** that's won artsy-fartsy poetry awards.
so what about your roof, have they got the stuff to put back on or do you have to have the whole thing redone? if so, is there a lead alternative to prevent the same thing happening in the future?

The real criminal is whoever he's selling the lead to. Scrappies are not supposed to deal in cash any more and keep a record of where their stuff came from.
From what I've heard, what happens now is that the scrap yard owns both themselves and a "cafe" round the corner. It's the cafe that pays the customer cash.
Yeah, it’s almost like he’s trying really hard to gain access to something..
To be fair, I started posting more when I realised I could get free delivery! Between knowing that and the bikers cafe, my posts flew up.
Yet I'm still here and maybe order once or twice a year from OC. Not sure who's winning.

I thought I'd give this a go using Africa by Toto as the tune, now I hate you and have to block Mcnumpty for my own sanity!
Glad to hear that social media provides some positives OP, I'm on a local group that regularly reunites people with lost pets, bikes, kids scooters etc. Makes a change from disinformation and rampant and unethical data harvesting.

Thanks for posting this, it's nice to see a good news outcome rather than doom and gloom.
