Do have to confess the new system seems far from perfect 🙁

Took several phone calls, two weeks and three police visits – including one by an armed response unit whilst I was at work – frightened the neighbours out of their wits 😮 Then they closed the main dual carriageway bypass for an hour whilst the offending items were finally picked up. All because the local police would not take the items into their custody – in case junior officers got too curious at finally having something in their new bomb-proof bin at their HQ – seems it is used as an ashtray during smoking breaks :rolleyes:

Oh! this was for three live flares and an MBEU barometric firing device – which were not discovered until power-washing through a ton of aluminium cornflakes at home, a week after a dig on a Supermarine Attacker.
