I have been doing some refurb work on a house that someone has bought to let, on one of the local council estates. Nothing unusual there.
The owner is spending a fortune on the place (far more than it deserves imho) including a nice new fence around the unusually large garden.
On Friday the owner turns up, she had forgot to latch the padlock on the gate to the back garden. The padlock was gone. On Monday she turns up with a shiny new padlock, only to find someone has unscrewed and removed the gate latch. I wonder how long before the gate has gone?
I shan't be leaving any tools or materials there as nicking the padlock and means to lock the gate smells to me of someone casing the joint to break into it.
