No, they were not transit passengers coming from Russia, but Romanians.

Looked like a scene from a George A Romero movie on that plane ! The walking dead !

During that time I saw these scrap metal collectors (Gypsies or Pontians) looking for metals. I told him that I threw away an old water pump...

He entered the skip to find out that some other person had beat him to it.

I know for a fact that these people are known to steal various items which are left outside someones house or in a field, just to sell it for scrap metal.

If you do get these people inquiring about such stuff, make sure you record the vehicle registration number.

Next thing you know

ITS GONE

Unless I,m blind, well I am in one eye actually :wink:

Is,nt there an enormous amount of scrap metal lying around the whole island, there is a great rusting 1950,s lorry old combine harvester and goodness knows what else just lying in the fields near here, send em down here they could make a fortune :roll:

In fact I have always wondered why someone has,nt done that, made a successful business on collecting and selling the scrap metal thats available on Cyprus must be worth millions. I know of ten cement lorries just gathering rust that have been there for over five years, where there,s scrap there is money, is,nt that true?

I take your point of view, I also agree that its not eco-friendly with all this junk lying around, rusting away in the public view. However this scrap still has value and an owner. If someone takes it away without the owners consent to deprive its legal owner from it... then its called stealing.
