1/ a bloke wants to break into your work for what reason you dont know
2/ you witness a accident and are asked to kept quite about the identity of the driver was
3/ to give someone your boss's address

How I feel right now, I'm very cheap for 1 and 3

1. A fair bit, if i get nailed then i loose my job etc
2. Depends on if any one was badly hurt/killed could run up really really high
3. Not much
Depends if i like my boss. Since i do like my boss, 20k and i'd give him half.
If i didnt like my boss, £50 would do it.

sounds cliche, but principles define the man, one of the things that my parents instilled, although I do find it amusing the justification people use to "flex" an inflexable.
Cheers Mark.
much as i'd love to be rich, i don't think i'd do any. Ill gotten funds just don't sit right with me. Anything I could spend the money on just wouldn't be worth it. Unless my family was starving, forget it.

Alll circumstantial.
I would hesitate to tell someone where my old boss lives, more for the safety of the person wanting to know!

I'm guessing it would depend on if you thought that money would make you happy as well? I think the money would make my life a little less unbeareable so chances are i would squeeze for as much as i could get.

1/ a bloke wants to break into your work for what reason you dont know
No money, wouldnt want any ties to it but I'd be getting some serious time off while police look into it so id win on those grounds.
2/ you witness a accident and are asked to kept quite about the identity of the driver was
I'd take everything in his/her wallet or what ever they offered cash there and then. Then turn the f****r in all the same the question suggests there was a victim and that the offender didnt just hit a wall or something.
3/ to give someone your boss's address
tbh dont know it, but supposing I did still wouldnt he's a sound bloke. My last boss however, na couldnt do it. crimes against a company I can let that slide but crimes against idividuals hmmm naaa cant accept that. Be cool to give a false address inform the police and set up some kind of sting operation.

1. No chance. I'd be a prime suspect and I'd almost certainly get caught. Without a chopper waiting to extract me and take me to an airport with a private jet waiting to take me somewhere warm without an extradition treaty with the UK and payment of a few million, I'd not even consider it.
2. Depends on the severity of the accident: my morals would require me to track down the wronged party and give them more money than they'd of gotten from the insurance payout. My greed would also require me to have enough money left over to make it worth my while (a few grand at least).
3. As per 2; I'd have to give the boss enough money to make it worth his while to sate my concience. I know disgruntled ex-employees have contacted him at home before and he has shrugged it off, so he'd probably be up for me doing it for several grand. :)
All the money in the world isn't worth much when you can't look yourself in the eye in the mirror in the morning.
1/ a bloke wants to break into your work for what reason you dont know
not at all. no money.
2/ you witness a accident and are asked to kept quite about the identity of the driver was
not at all, wouldnt do it. however if i was THREATENED to keep schtum i may, but to keep quiet for cash, nope.
3/ to give someone your boss's address
no again.
boring huh?

Which of the 3 have you been propositioned with Dave?
Personally I could not be bought off for any, But you could try bribing me with beer to try to loosen my morels

So let me get this straight Dave, someone asked you to break into your work and you didn't know what for, as they were escaping, your boss ran them over cos he got the call from the alarm company, however the person that got run over got up and ran into a nearby forest and escaped, only to come back to you the next day and ask for your bosses address to go and do him over.

Those saying no way no how, Surely your thinking no way for a couple of grand.
But the OP did say money is no object.

A decent fry-up would do it right now. Black coffee, no sugar please.

But the bigger payout, the more it affects your lifestyle, and the more you'd be reminded of what you now have, being owed to something which wasn't honourable.
however, to rephrase the thread title "how much to bring you off..." that would be a cup of tea and a hob nob.
sorry. carry on.
that would be a cup of tea and a hob nob.
Before or after?
Before or after?
during...altho i'd need a saucer for fear of spillage. the tea spillage.

So what your saying is, Im a proper c**t with no morals lol. Brilliant but I'd have a yatch and wouldnt have to work ever again so I could live with the been a c**t part.
Maybe Im a shallow person but I believe everyone has a price really. Its only the amount of zero's you need on the end which shows the measure of your character.
I defy anyone to honestly say they couldnt "loose" a set of office keys for £100,000,000.00 at the other end of the scale you've got one of the lads from football who drinks a pint of **** if you pay him a fiver.
EDIT: would like to note thats written in good humor ;) im not been arsey. :)
shallow as a worms grave matt! :)
im sure everybody has a price on certain things, but im equally sure that on other things they can't be bought off. if you're able to be bought for any amount of money for anything then lets take it to its logical conclussion, you'd kill a friend or member of your family for a price? i'm thinking not, sir....
I could live with the been a c**t part.
That's down to choice. People differ. I don't think you're alone there tho :)
I believe everyone has a price really.
Some do, some don't. I can be bought for things I need, eg food for my family, but not for things that I want. I couldn't live with myself thinking that I'd caused harm to someone else for nothing more than greed.
Now if the intended target had crossed me in the past, then it'd be a different story... :mad:

I make no friends and I hate my family! ;)
Lol, Once more mr-d you are the wiser man. I see your angle family is a bad example for myself but if you were to say kill my dog for a cash settlement then no I dont think any price could cover it.
Bloody love that dog :)
