Reward For Information Leading To Apprehension - aberdeen-music

There will be a reward for anyone that can provide information, such as the name or a description of the person that was foolish enough to vandalise some of the doors in our ladies? toilet last night.

Although this behaviour may be tolerated elsewhere with little or no retribution, we are located in the harbour area and different rules apply. If we ever catch the fucker then I'll have a nice pair of concrete jeans tailor made and will enjoy watching them learn to breathe water. Get the drift?

Seriously, if you have any information relating to this then PM me and there will be something in it for you. And them.

It sounds like he fully intends to give the perpetrator a 'free drink'.

I dont think anyone did it on purpose, cause i saw it fall down on someone,when it they opened it, at the begining of the night.

The doors are a special design. The usual method for vandalising a toilet door is to enter the cubicle, lock the door, climb over the top, then kick the door in, breaking the lock.

These doors jump of their hinges when you start to boot them, ultimately falling into the cubicle. This saves the lock from breaking. The doors are also quite tough being steel plated, so they take a fair few kicks.

If someone gives up, or is distrubed in the process then the doors are sometimes left just on the hinge and no more, the next time someone opens it, whallop! That's probably what you experienced.

We had 3 doors attacked during the course of the night - one of them twice. There was no lasting damage, and I only had to tighten a couple of screws. The screws are also designed to fail before the lock, or hinge, so worst case scenario I have to replace a screw.

A similar attack was carried out on our opening Friday. Provided this person continues to attack the doors, then sooner or later we'll catch up with them - it's only a matter of time.

The tapes from both nights showing who headed into the toilets prior to the attack have helped us narrow it down, so hopefully once more and we've got the fucker. I'm guessing that the same person is responsible for breaking the locks in the ladies at HJBs and Moshulu, so I'm sure Robb will be interested in the outcome... Never mind there's always the Schooner for them to drink in.

BTW Simon - the tape also shows you 'apparently' entering the ladies (either that or visiting the cleaning cupboard for 27mins) a week ago Friday night whilst OFF duty. Please refrain from doing this in future!

Hmmm. I have a friend who could make you some carbon-fibre toilet cubicles... Pretty hard to mark or break if made well. Not the cheapest, tho!

we just spent thousands doing them over in stainless, so not an option right now LOL. The stainless is indestructable, or pretty close but few things piss me off as much as vandalism, whether it's successful or not.

Thanks for the offer though.

Upon catching said bastard, I say you keep them locked in a cage until word goes round that the perpetrator has been caught.

Then let the crowd administer justice.

This problem has been 'solved'... or should that be desolved.

Does this mean that you have caught the perpetrator of the door kicking or have you just glued the doors shut so it can never happen again?
