Unfortunately Jude there is van which comes around here quite often , doing the same, and yes they also 'take' anything else that is on your driveway , bikes etc ,open garage is a haven to them or even your back garden !
I wouldn't call these peeps scrap merchants, gives those a bad name. I notice the exclamation marks after Scrap Merchants .lol
I have reported them to the police twice for dangerously overloading their vehicle, and have told them so!
They are obviously not taxed or insured as police can't get an address for them.
Someone could easily be killed if something fell from their van, a friend of mine was killed when a pipe came off an uncovered lorry with a skip came off it's load and straight thro her car:( RIP Lorraine

We are changing our bathroom suite next week, we don't have a local free cycle unfortunately so hope the plumber can take it away, otherwise I 'll call the council to collect it or put an ad in the local paper advertising as free. Those men in that van won't be having it !!

Wonder how much they will get for that? I'm afraid I would have been b minded and told them to put it back!!!! Even if it caused me hassle to get rid of it.

Just now l heard some banging looked out the window to see 2 scrap metal men loading our old bath... onto their truck...blinky cheek we had'nt asked them. They said they had asked next door and it seems next door ARE OUT.....SO be careful not to leave garage doors open and stuff outside your house like that that you may want to keep. l had thought of putting it on freecycle!!!! grrrr how cheeky is that,actually its more than cheeky its stealing!!...lol
We let them have it, saved us a job in the end.
Be alert!!
