A Riddle (kind of...)

[shakotan]

If two slightly scruffy blokes turn up to the front door of our office in Chertsey (known for it's population of chavs and pikeys), claiming "their van has been stolen during the night, and did our CCTV pick up anything?", and my dimwitted and rapidly pention-achieving aged assistant told them our cameras were dummy and didn't work, what are the chanced we're going to be broken into tonight?

[Emsman]

Dead cert.

Stick a razoe blade under the door handle, it leaves plenty of DNA around the walls

[MkGriff]

At that stage - fairly likely.

Now, almost certainly

Does the riddle have anything to do with the assistant's pention?

[citychap26]

Classic!

Get a rocking chair, shotgun and prepare for a long night:

Yeah they're either:

• wanting to see the blind spots in the CCTV footage
• checking if they're dummies

and they're complete idiots because now you've seen them, and their van (and hopefully written down their number plate.

No, the van was stolen, do try to keep up!

Good luck, whatever happens! Anything of value that can be removed/hidden/ locked to a desk with a role of duct tape and some gum? Ever considered purchasing CCTV?

[Engineer1]

The thing is with how helpful people are these days I wouldn't take it as true that they where dummys unless I half suspected it already

Darn. That old "reading things thoroughly before posting" chestnut.

Well, I hardly think they'll burgle the place if they don't have a van now!

I think the van being stolen was a lie to see if OP had CCTV. They probably still have it

Do you think so, Captain Obvious?

[gilla]

You'll be fine, that was me and a mate - the van was stolen honest - do you run the antiques shop with the safe in the room out the back by any chance...? if not it was someone else - must've been a spate of vans go missing last night.
