Smile garage floor monster

Beware the garage floor monster is on the loose! This week alone he has eaten my 10mm spanner, eaten the wheel off my gazunder board, mixed up all my sockets, broken numerous drills and left my test meter out in the rain along with the starter charger. Its got to be the monster because none of my workforce know anything about it. Strange thing is he pukes up most of the things he eats in the strangest of places, please tell me i havent got the only one of these .

Bob

I've got some little critters living in my workshop that steal tools pencils keys anything and hide them .Then when you are totally frustrated and fed up with looking for stuff they put them back where you thought they were in the first place -----Sense of humour eh-----Ill kill em when I catch em

Mine has eaten my brand new 3/8-> 1/2 socket adaptor and still not given back my multimeter. He also sucks all the air out of the compressor even with the valve screwed shut.

Smile r.i.p tt"s hole saw.

You can forget the hole saw tt if there is a seven year old and a monster involved unless you can located the nest/camp. I stumbled across one recently and could not believe what treasures were lurking, things that had been missing for years. and series landy if you want some more air i will sqeeze some out of my monster, which end do you want it from? send a stamped addressed envelope and i will send some down.

You have my deepest sympathy Bob.

I too have a garage monster, I also have a serious Pixie problem but I guess that must be expected living in the West country !!

At least the Pixies don't nick things, make heck of a mess though .... Just look what they did to my workbench overnight



I know exactly who the garage monster is & just as soon as I get hold of him I am going to kick him up the ass, that'll teach him a lesson

Has anyone got any tips on how to kick myself up the ass
