Travelling back from a visit to Canterbury along the M2 near the Medway
bridge I was overtook an NHS van which had a sign stating that no drugs,
cash or oxygen was left in the vehicle overnight.

Nothing unusual in that area, perhaps, but I must admit surprise when
the next truck I passed had a similar notice which stated that no
potatoes are left in this truck overnight.

Considering all the goods travelling through Kent to and from Dover the
local miscreants cannot be very enterprising.

Well the one that attempted to burgle my lace a few weeks ago was very
enterprising !

So much so he got wedged in a small window in a house in West Malling and
was hauled bodily through it by the enraged owner of the property who then
proceeded to "restrain" him until the Police arrived and nicked him
He copped to 50 burglaries in the Kent area and I understand from the police
that he is now recovering from being sat on by the guy that caught him......
All 22 stone of him !

My deck building assistant Desmond has a sign in the back of his van saying
"No sandwiches are left in this vehicle overnight".

Locally Wiganers are known as pie eaters and one humorous local baker has a
sign on his van

" No pies left in this van overnight ".

Did you miss the notice on the third

"No illegal immigrants left in this truck overnight" ?

I was thinking that when I saw the no oxygen left in vehicle overnight.

How do they remove the oxygen?

And how would you see it if they didn't?

(Sorry - having been thinking about that since OP.)

Just replace it with 20 or so C02 fire extinguishers and tell the immigrants
they are heaters when they let them all off at once

van is stolen"
