Hi All, My garden hose was stolen recently (last few days) from front garden by scaling the medium sized wall.
Its a green one with thin yellow lines. It got "Frank" and my telephone number written on both ends on the yellow. If you see "Richard the Thief" my "garden man" or any of the many car washers with it please let me know. This is my third hose - should get a wholesalers discount Regards, Frank 2009/3/14 Frank Schuitemaker <[email protected]> > > I noticed this afternoon a man carrying a hose near the corner > Oxford / Trill Roads.
