HenryVIII Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) My Thai gardener of some years recently took ill and unfortunatle died. However, he often left his gardening tools - including a very nice petrol mower - in my garden outhouse. His family live not to far from my house and his daughter called the othere day asking for his tools to be returned to the family. This has left with a somewhat moral dilema as I now have no gardener and could use the mower to get by for the time being. Should I return his things to his family or should I keep them and continue to let my wifes mother use them to do my garden untill her father gets out of hospital following a quite serious heart operation. (he has said he can cut the grass using hand shears) Edited June 25, 2009 by HenryVIII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartacus_m Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 too hard for some people he just wants an easy life and let his gardeners family down What a question to ask people, should I return the tools. It has really got my goat that has! Get to their house and give everything back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverdie Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 If you had one iota of decency in ur body, you wouldnt be asking the question. Anyway, when you go to return the mower & other tools do you think you could get the stats on the daughter & perhaps a pic (I'm thinking she may just need a bit of comforting during these difficult times).

isanb Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) Ask his daughter i you can buy the tools. They may be happy to have some extra money in such a difficult moment. Like that you will be happy and you will help them. Or give back the tools as they don't belong to you. This should be obvious to you, no ?

IanForbes Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I borrow my neighbour's wife when he is off at work each day, and return her later in the afternoon before he comes home. But lately I've enjoyed having her around to do the dishes and house cleaning as well. Do you think my neighbour will mind if I keep her for a few evenings as well?

Dangerous, she may want to stay for good. Get the job done during the day and for the evening take another one.

Texpat Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) I'd keep them and tell the daughter he had loaned all the tools out to his friends before he died. Paint the mower and carve your initials into all the other tools. Don't forget to mention to the daughter how your gardener had borrowed a new circular saw and a few blades just a few weeks ago that hadn't been returned. Good luck.

G54 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Keep the tools and wait for the BiB to come to your house and arrest you for theft. Maybe they will add a loss of income with interest to the fine you would richly deserve. How can someone even think of depriving the family at a time like this? Do the family not have enough stress and grief to deal with at the moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackdanielsesq Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) I had a Flymo once - did 2 acres of scrubland with it and threw it away. Best $50 I ever spent - in the garden.

timinchina Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Why not borrow a petrol can from the grieving daughter to fill up the mower with,then burn the shed down using it with her fingerprints all over it,accuse her of arson and collect the insurance money on the shed and all the tools and mower that were in there at the time. She'll have plenty of time to reflect on the error of her ways in the Bangkok Hilton and she'll never ask for her family's belongings back again!
