The art of being devious.

Over many years I've smuggled many a "toy" in my houses/homes.
In the past it was only small slot cars, now it's 16th tanks, and all things associated, like books, upgrades etc.
I've resorted to friends ordering me stuff, even well known customers that owe me money and even neighbours. I just give those that don't owe me cash, to hide the money trail. Also handy to store the stuff at their places till the time is "right."
I've resorted to all kinds of methods to get stuff in the house past the "boss," to get it in the shed or loft/attic. I've even used a rope to haul stuff up to an upstairs window lol.
When my daughter's were little, around 25 years ago, I used to bribe them with sweets when I bought a scalextric car if I had them with me.
And now it's Christmas, and I get a nice big book, "The Tank Book," it's The Tank Museum book with an embossed picture of a Tiger 1 on the cover.
What a wonderful present, shame I smuggled one in my house a few months back lol.
Oh, and as for bribing my kids, I found out a couple of years ago that they used to tell on me and get more sweets from my missus lol.
Anyway, my wife and daughters only have themselves to blame, they bought me my first 16th RC tank
And yes, I was obviously very pleased with my present
Merry Christmas.
