I had a customer ring me one saturday night at 23.00hrs, said his door had been kicked in and was destroyed, also it was his daughter who was alone in the house when thugs burst in,i went into sympathy mode, asked for address, and details of the door, explained i would only be able to secure it as the door warehouse was closed till next morning.
When i asked if the police had been around to fingerprint the door etc, before i went to board it up, he said ,yes theyre the ones who kicked the door in, looking for stolen goods, and theyve taken her boyfreind away or he could have done it hes quite handy with his hands the chap said.
Strangely he didnt seem very happy when i told him the callout cost,and i wasnt going to send the bill to the police,as he would have to pay me, and then he could try and fail to claiam off the police,he thought i would do it for a crate of lager and a handshake.
