    Hi Guy's
    Just had a look at the threads on the thefts in Lillydale area i was on the verge of putting my address on my advertising & invoicing stuff then i decided to get a P.O.Box $105.00 ($14 deposit for the keys) for twelve months. PO Box will be everything now

    I think its worth it

    They are welcome to jump the fence and try as Rebel would like a calf or two instead of the same old pussy or possum!!
    If they think they can outsmart him he is also great at waiting, waiting, waiting and then stalking prey!!

    Thats why all my adverts have PO Box nos!

    I'm just glad I live 20 k's out of town, no-one takes any notice of gun shots out here!
    plenty of room to dig a hole too!
    not long ago I had a bloke offer to sell me a hot ride on cheap, he couldn't understand why I went off my head and offered to punch his in!
    Cheers

    Still begs the question as to why vans aren't more popular among mowing contractors.
    Lots of other trades use vans for secure and convenient equipment storage.
