Perth man Liam is fuming this morning after catching his neighbour, who is employed by Coca-Cola, using his tap & hose to fill up his pool.
We spoke to the man who said he confronted his neighbour but the Coca-Cola employee couldn’t understand what all the fuss was about. He added,
“He really felt entitled to my water. I told him that I bloody pay for that and he’s cost me hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars! Who knows how long this has been going on for? I always suspected my water bill was high but just figured I had a leak that no one could find”
The neighbour felt so entitled to the water that he made no efforts to disguise his actions.
We spoke to Liam’s wife who told The Times he saw the man casually jump the fence, stroll over to their scheme drinking water tap, grab the hose, and pop back over the fence. Adding,
“Normally you’d imagine a neighbour to pull off this kind of dog act while we were on holiday or not home. He didn’t have a care in the world. I yelled out at him and he just waved. He truly thought that water was his to do what he pleased with. I wonder what gave him that idea?”
When Liam confronted the man he said he was offered a “good deal” on a pallet of Mount Franklin – about 50c a bottle. Liam continued to blow his top, adding,
“He was selling my water back to me! Water that he took for free and wanted me to pay 50c a bottle for it. I mean that’s not a bad deal but I’m a tap water man. I love that ambiguous Perth tap water taste”
It turns out Liam isn’t alone. After the incident, he approached other neighbours and warned them that this guy was a serial water thief.
Unsurprisingly, every single neighbour had caught the man sniffing around their taps. It seems like this guy has never paid for a drop of water in his life!
