laurajill 10 #1 Posted July 27, 2017 Hi Looking for some help locating a young bloke who knocked on my Nan's door offering to do her garden for her. She asked how much and he asked for £40. Started to cut top half of her garden when suddenly his Strimmer broke and he left with the money. Low and behold my nan hasn't seen him since. Anyone else had this happen to them in the Totley area? Any help appreciated ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Dardandec 32 #2 Posted July 27, 2017 A similar thing happened to my mum a few years' ago, But left her purse about £350 light and didn't do a thing. Said he needed to go buy materials then never came back. Luckily he was known to police and she got her money back. I would ring police and let them deal with it.
