Two more villains are off the streets .....
When my tyre valve caps disappeared a few weeks ago, we suspected a couple of young boys who had been hanging around outside.
Yesterday my neighbour caught them nicking caps off another car. He knew where they lived, so went round and had a quiet word with their dad.
This afternoon I answered a knock at the door and two women with a rather sheepish looking pair of kids about ten years old were there. The woman said, my son and his his friend have something to say to you.
Looking rather red and heads hanging down, they said 'we are sorry we stole your tyre valve caps and we promise we won't do it ever again.' Then they returned two chrome caps to me.
I must admit I was a bit speechless at first, but I just said 'well as long as it won't happen again, we'll say no more about it.' I thanked their mothers who informed me that I would not be seeing them on the streets again for a while as they were well and truly grounded!
I can sleep safely in my bed tonight knowing two more villains are off the streets!
