Looks like the boy has keys to the place.

 

 

 

I read a book by Hunter S. Thompson many years ago (The Great Shark Hunt, I think). In that he told the story of how, in the 50s, he and some friends stayed in a flat across the road from a petrol station. Needing cash for drink and drugs, they robbed the place. The next day they watched in fascination at how the owner of the petrol station was going off his nut and the police were likewise frothing at the mouth.

They robbed the place again that night, and watched again as the petrol station owner went puce with rage, and the police were sending cars all over the place not realising that the thieves were watching. 

They robbed the place for a third night in a row, the response was utterly mental from the police and owner. On the fourth night decided not to as the owner of the petrol station decided to spend the night inside with a bunch of guns.

They'll have been disappointed last night as the volume was the same level as Monday. I could hear everything from my house both nights, it was brilliant

Back in the early 80s, I had a mate who worked for a tv aerial company. He loved a bet - and the local bookies was in a kind of strip of shitey shops with a dilapidated car park behind.

If he had overspent up town on a Friday, we watched as he climbed up on the bookies roof and disconnected the aerials (might also have been the very start of satellite racing too?).

When he sauntered into the bookies on a Saturday morning, the daft manager was all over him to "sort the tv feed" as the place was packed.

He would get the van, go up and pretend to do something vital, come back down to a heroes welcome and a tidy wee wedge in his pocket.

Did it a few times that I know of - the manager must have been fuckin stupid though.

Perhaps living near a stadium isn't the best idea if you don't like very occasional loud noises.

No doubt when grangemouth goes bang folk will complain about the noise

In the locals defence it's been a few years since they've heard any noise from that stadium apart from sporadic booing

Does this description match any of the patrons of the Falkirk thread?

@Bairnardo's pretty safe, I reckon.

The man is described as white, of medium build, and between 20 and 30 years of age. He had dark shaved hair in a buzzcut, stubble, and was wearing a tight white top and light-coloured trousers.
