What low-lifes! First of all, what were they doing around the pond, anyway? Second of all, if an accident occurs, they should just own up and admit it. You'd be disappointed, for sure, but probably not angry, if they were at least honest.
I like vintage things, and have a lot of cool retro stuff sitting out on display. A housekeeper managed to break a 1950's souvineer drinking glass commemorating my home state of Missouri, and had the not-clever idea of turning it around, thinking I woudn't notice.
Needless to say, that was her first and last visit.
