00:00yes yes people so today I got a phone call from someone they took their dog

00:06for a walk and the dog dug up two knives they said that they were very scary

00:10knives they contacted the police and the police advised that they go and put them in the

00:16recycling place obviously they said that they didn't feel safe doing so and asked

00:22if I could help so I said yeah and I'm just on the way there now to go collect

00:28yes yes people so I've just been to the person's house who found the weapon

00:34so the story was the dog was playing in the park saw something well smelt

00:39something digged it took it out and ran the woman went to where the dog

00:44was and found another knife and then chased the dog down and found the first

00:49knife and she called the police and as I said she said take it to the nearest

00:53recycling place and this is the knife that the dog picked up and took the

01:00Rambo knife I'm guessing that it was hidden for use in the future it doesn't

01:07look like it's being used but how can you expect anybody to walk around and

01:12dispose of one of these you know I wish that the police would see the dangers of

01:17doing so and not put people at risk and the other knife she found was this

01:23smaller one here so yeah again this was getting a bit rusty it looks like it's

01:29been there a long time so yeah clearly they've hidden these weapons hoping to

01:33go back to get him another day and you know she said that she could have left

01:38them there but she thought that it would be a good detail to get them taken away

01:42which she has so obviously I'm very thankful and moving forward I think I'm

01:46gonna give the police a shout and and try and come up with a way where we can

01:51get the knife collected I don't know how that will work I don't know the

01:56logistics but it's something that I will definitely be putting towards the police

02:01but yeah thank you guys have a great day peace
