    ok, so when I took over this property i'm in - i took over from a known criminal.

    in the process of digging over the back left corner of my garden i have found:

    • A pair of ladies boots in a bag
    • A mans t-shirt clearly very stained
    • a wallpaper scraper wrapped in a curtain
    • a long sharp bit of metal stuck into some concrete wrapped in a long scarf
    • a large lump of concrete with a bag around it
    • a dinner knife
    • some form of fibrous material - a bit like the liners from hanging baskets
    • a patients property bag

    i dread to think what else i'll find.

    I have contacted the local police who are coming to investigate - so here's a bit of fun whilst i'm waiting for them....

    WHAT ELSE DO YOU THINK I'LL FIND AND WHY?

    Half a tennis ball, car central locking.

    A hammer & centre punch, double glazing.

    A set of scales.

    re sealable bags.

    Several bongs.

    Get hold of a couple of old bones and bury them just below the surface in the area you want to dig over.

    When the Police come along, just point them to the area and say..I don't like the look of this Officer...

    Who knows, you may get the whole plot dug over for you.

          Blimey, they're taking it seriously then. Wipe your prints off the bongs, if they can't find who they belong to, they'll stitch up the nearest bloke to them.

          A tactic learned from Guildford Police.

          a quote from soco - "we were set to treat this as a murder scene. after assessment of the current situation, we are not overly concerned. what we suggest you do is continue as you are, and if you find anything further of interest then call us back."

          I asked the PC what they mean by "of interest"

          he said - and i quote "We're looking for a brookside patio moment or a gun, or a knife. We have reason to believe there may be some involvement in some major assaults by the previous occupants"

          Thats nice of them, so you've shown them soiled clothing & shoes that have been deliberatly concealed, probably to hide dna evidence, a possible murder weapon, a weight in a bag to hold a body under the water. A wallpaper scraper that could have been used to remove blood splattered wall paper & they are leaving you to look for the body:what:

          Have you found empty bleach bottles yet?

          Whatever you do - don't dig up the Patio!

          And look for loose floorboards upstairs - thar's gold in them thar holes. (weel-maybe cash anyway.)

          Thats a good point, check the toilet cistern, might be something taped to the underside.

          Also check electric sockets & light switches.

            I think you could set a "write a crime story" competition based on your list of dug up items, ccm. Ziggy's already come up with a great plot, the only thing that's missing (so far!!!) is the body................
