Well, I was pleased it had all gone, it hadn't taken the driver much more than 5 minutes to lift the skip and drive it away at 20 past 8, but having just been out to check on the post box I could see that the six tyres were back. It must have been a special trip to return them as they'd been at the bottom of the skip.
