A man called Stephen Morgan has been charged with criminal damage to two hamburgers worth £5 after becoming involved in an alleged doorstep dispute with a fast food firm.
Say what…?
Morgan, 31, was arrested and taken from his home in handcuffs at the weekend after his family’s order with their local pizza parlour in Loughor, near Swansea, arrived minus two burgers.
I thought the police had priorities?
A dispute is alleged to have started with a delivery man who came to the house later, and £15 compensation was eventually paid out, he claims.
What follows remains unclear, however police visited the address later that evening and arrested Mr Morgan on suspicion of robbery.
Wow! Nice one! The people of Loughor can sleep safe in their beds tonight…
Sure they didn’t need the force helicopter, just in case?

They’re a rough lot in Loughor, you’ve got to stamp on trouble before it starts or who knows where it will end – today hamburgers, tomorrow cattle rustling.
Tidy mun. :lol:
Lets face it…..they could easily have shot him so he`s a lucky lucky man.. 8)
So Stephen Morgan orders two pizzas for home delivery.
They arrive exactly as ordered.
He starts a row claiming that he ALSO ordered two hamburgers as well and refuses to pay anything at all until and unless the two ‘missing’ hamburgers are delivered.
The hapless delivery guy goes off without any money whilst Morgan and his partner settle down to scoff the (unpaid for) pizzas, no doubt smirking as they have put one over on the local takeaway.
The delivery guy returns with the two so-called ‘missing’ hamburgers and asks for the money for ALL the food.
Morgan then starts yet another row and refuses to pay any money at all and “criminally damages” the burgers (i.e throws them onto the ground thus rendering them uneatable) and tells the delivery guy to piss off.
So the delivery guy – or his boss – calls the Police. Is this REALLY so unreasonable????
Trying to stitch up takeaway delivery guys by refusing to pay; making unrealistic and unwarranted complaints; or, in certain parts of London for example, intercepting them on arrival and simply stealing the food …. is more common than you might think.
A criminal offence was committed and was quite rightly reported to Police. They in turn quite rightly arrested Morgan for robbery and detained him overnight in the cells. Good job too, serves the thieving bastard right, and well done to the Swansea Police officers that nicked him.
Next time he will pay for his take-aways, as other more honest people do.
Would you like pepper spray with that sir ..lol

Very True Jen, as they’re very close to Bynea and Llanelli.. :lol: :lol: :lol:
I thought there was just one thing in Loughor and that was the Bridge.. Mun.. :lol:
Having worked as a taxi driver who did food deliveries i fully agree with the Forum Host. The food is paid for by the driver when it is picked up. It the customer refuses to pay it is hte delivery driver who is out of pocket. In this particular instance the pizza delivery guy may have been held responsible for the missing money.
They sound like nasty little oiks………….whatever happened to polite, decent honest folks? I agree with eve and PB…. the delivery man is just that, paid to deliver the food. They were extracting the michael. I think that calling the police in was a bit over the top, but if i were the delivery man, and getting verbal abuse and could not get the money I was owed out of said nasty louts.. i would probably have been tempted to get the boys in blue in too.
The firm hand of the law………visible at last! Bout bloody time.
Shared a house with some characters once. One of them fell out with a lover.
Lover’s idea of revenge was to order food takeaways and have them sent round to our address. No one knew what was behind it at the time, and each night we’d be trying to explain this on the phone to some irate restaurant owner. Nett result was free dinners or we paid half price – if we happened to be hungry. I’ve always had a sneaking respect for doomed romance ever since, especially round mealtimes.
Never beaten up a hamburger though.
