From house of an employee in wigan, they have found the land rover, cleaned out of gear obviously, and dash ripped to shreds.

Re: Stolen Vehicle & Gear - My turn

Just how sick are we getting of this sh... happening to us all, and all too frequently?

Is it time to have a serious chat with the powers that be and have an operation lignin, like that operation bumble bee!

i am sorry mate, my heart bleeds for you, I know all too well how it feels, I avoid these threads for a while then i just have to say something for sympathy if nowt else.

as long as we have a hole in our backsides and a chiper in close to behind we will be followed harrased and targeted, and when they want it, they will get it.

i dont miss the sleepless nights worrying about the kit and truck and chipper, with all my saws under the bed at night and a baseball bat at the ready!

Wo wo wo, its not that bad, lets put things in perspective it only gear thats replaceable by good insurance cover. Yes its inconvenient and mucked up my weekend, but its not as if my family have had there house burnt down and being chased through the congo with machetes. I would never let myself get so bothered over equipment even if it was brand new yesterday. I pay £30 a month so I dont have to worry.
