Retrieving Lost Balls + Pets from Neighbour's Gardens Legalised in Belgium
In the News
I think the belgian government have been watching too much of the cadburys advert
You know, the one , where all the stuff keeps going over the neighbours fence , the last bit the ball hits the greenhouse and mr thompson is starting to get annoyed
Then it cuts from winter to summer and hes in the garden, and a bar of cadburys flies over the fence
'' you can keep that one Mr thompson '' one of the lads shouts
Aw nice
Oh if only that happened in reality
Yes he might get something brown over his fence , but it definitely wouldn't be a bar of cadburys
Picture the real life scenario if the law came to the UK , after hours of the ball being kicked against Mr thompsons fence he grabs it when it comes over
''Oi you miserable old g@t , give us our ball back !'' shouts one of the lads
Mr thompson , ''if it comes over one more time you ****** i will put a knife in it !!!!''
Fifteen mins later over it comes again
Mr Thompson ''That's it , i warned you lot ''
He punctures the ball and puts it in the dustbin
Cut to later that night Mr Thompson goes to the local for a well earned pint after spending all day in the garden
The lads are waiting for him to go and as soon as are over the fence
When Mr Thompson comes back he finds his garden shed open and all his tools gone , including the mower
He calls the police but nobody turns up , as they do
A week later the lads are sporting new trainers and a smile on their faces
When one of the neighbours tells Mr Thompson she saw the boys climbing over his fence he thinks, '' Thats it, i've got them''
So he is off down the police station with the info
The police come and interview the boys and they admit climbing over the fence, but only to get their ball back which they found Mr thompson had criminally damaged but know nothing about a break in
The boys, who know the law off by hand, quote to the police the new law, section 7 of the trespassing act , they are entitled to go on private property to retrieve their ball if the neighbour is out
The police confirm this to Mr Thompson and tell him he hasnt a leg to stand on , and he must pay the boys for a new ball
The moral of the story , there may be more than a glass and a half of milk in every bar, but while you are in the bar some thieving @cumbags will be having you over
Friend of mine had some tenancy problems with the council and Pummeled them with Edward Coke .Handy thing knowing the law at times but it can be an ass.
That doesn't seem right to me. I don't think people should be able to go onto another person's property without their permission.
Exactly S, then they will have an excuse for sneaking around your property to steal
Lets hope the UK have more sense than to follow belgium, but i wouldnt hold my breath
You will have them getting caught in the garden and suddenly whistling and saying princess princess where are you
They would probably have your princess under their coats, the first thing they would take , its rampant now in the UK
