On Wednesday I was walking my dogs at 7:45 near my house, when I spyed, in the trees, a brown bag, and lots of papers strewn around. Lots. Concerned I was also gonna find a pair of feet, or an arm poking out, I decided I would go look. Nobody there....but LOTS of importnat stuff. Cheque books. Account statements. Bills. Proofs of Address.
This is either stolen, forged, both, or dumped cos someone bottled out of a scam.
Its raining, and has been all night.
I gather it all up, mark where I found it, and carry it home.
I ring Crime Stoppers.
"Sorry we can't help with that, we're not the Police you know, report it to this number"
I ring it.....explain what I have found....and after 3 minutes am told he'll put me through to my local station....
"Where have I rung then? "
"Oxford"
"Why did Crime Stoppers give me this number as I told them I'm from Aylesbury"
"They always put you through to the region HQ and I will redirect it"
5 minutes pass
"Sorry, no answer from Aylesbury, I'll give you the number and you can try it yourself later"
Deep breath. Onward and upward. Someone might want this stuff. It might be important to either the owner or the Police.
Ring Aylesbury nick......10 ring later and I get a 50 to 60 year old lady who says ..
"Ello"
Nothing esle...just" Ello" so I appologise for ringing the wrong number cos I am after Aylesbury Police Station and after 10 seconds she says "This IS Aylesbury Police station"
Professional tot he core our Boys and Girls in Blue. If you ring PC World and get a 17 year old Chav you at least get the name of the COmpany you have rung!
Onward....ever onward.
