Carl Spackler Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Can anyone on here own up to regularly nicking the G and L from the sign for the Glassblower pub in Portobello? If so take a bow.

Dagger Is Back Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 One of those flashing road works lamps - you know the wee yellow/orange efforts.

Dagger Is Back Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Had been to a works night out and woke up the next morning cuddling a shoulder of ham or something like that. Found out on Monday that at the end of the party, rather than let them throw out the unused food, I wrapped said shoulder up in a napkin and said I can make a pot of soup wi' that. Had never made soup in my puff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooperstar Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I massive banner from some church group which has weekly meetings at the pub along the road from me and a sign which the wee baker statue outside the Morrison Street bakers used to hold which says 'Toasted bagels with philadelphia only ?1.25'.

jamboinglasgow Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I have not really stolen more than the odd glass, but a few years ago me and my friends used to steal the books from Standing Order. Just one or two each time. They were awful books but always seemed easy to slip them under a coat when drunk. Though for true stealing escapades, you cant beat rowers. Every march there is a big race down in london a week before the boat race, and it is usually the challenege to see what can be acquired that night. Last year it was a couple of banners from lamposts, year before it was a vase and a stool from a bar next to the Thames. Year before that, one of my friends who is a legend drrnk, walked out of a pub with a six foot persian rug under his arm, went on a bit and bumped into the local police. They looked at him and said take it back, so he went back and on the way just gave it to some random. Also at glasgow uni rowing club there is a tradition of nicking road signs. We have ones ranging from last few years to as far back as at least 1952 (seems to be an old tradition.) We an huge A road sign to Greenick. The sign from a mayors house down south, A road sign saying Gotham 5 miles (love that one), a sign saying no mooring (which someone put roger in between no and mooring.) But my favourite one is the sign from a church down in Henley. After being at the Henley regatta, some of the glasgow rowers had brought back this sign and about a week later they got a letter from the local vicar informing them that the churches sign has been stolen and that Glasgweigian voices were heard near by, if they could help them. The rowers sent a letter back to the vicar saying that they are sorry to hear that and they do not know who stole it but they will make a replacement for the church. They made it and sent it down. To which they got a reply saying, "thanks very much for the new sign however we couldn't help noticing how it looks identical to the one that was stolen."

marshallschunkychicken Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I arrived at my new flat at the start of second year at Aberdeen University to find that my flatmates had liberated one of those metal 'Men at Work' signs the previous night. It sat in the garden for the three years that I stayed there. A couple of other mates picked up a park bench in Seaton Park and carried all the way to their 2nd floor flat in the King's College area. They used that for the rest of the year in their flat, then tried to get rid of it on the last day, and couldn't get it down the stairs.....

Tazio Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 An old flatmate and I once woke up in the morning to find an enormous hugely heavy coffee table in the middle of our living room. The problem being that we had been on separate nights out and got home at different times both absolutely bladdered. Both of us convinced we had headed to our respective bedrooms and not been near the living room. We never did work out where it came from or who had got it up 3 flights of stairs. But it took 2 of us to get it back down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Gordons Gloves Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 over a period of around 6 months in first year our flat acquired various road signs, including men at work, road closed and a number of for sale signs. Our proudest moment however was waking up one morning to discover a full temporary traffic light in the living room. We had to shift them all during one night when it was announced that they were doing a flat inspection of all the flats.

Marmeladent?rtchen Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I had a uni mate that was in the Navy before hand. He used tell of tales of what people would bring back drunk to the ship. 2 that stand out are a large potted shurb and a kind of life size lion statue. Real funny part was that this was a navy ship. It only had one gang plank to get on and off which was garded!! Of course any pilfering behavior was not welcome so how the stuff got on nobody knows!!!

Suddenly realised hed dropped his wallet, went back to the scene of the crime to discover the polis inspecting the damage, noticed his wallet by the kerbside, managed to pick it up as he sidled by,then taxi home.
