broken into last night

[strider]

My yard in Essex broken into last night, they cut and broke through 5 locks damaged my shipping container and also the door to a lock up and stole gransfors bruks splitting maul and carving axe, Engish side axe, fuel container and also 12 traditional walking sticks mainly with antler & buffallo horn handles.

The odd thing is they let behind various power and hand tools, arc welding kit and thankfully my log splitter.

Hope that if they use the splitting maul they make a mistake because it was well honed with enough weight to do some real damage.

Security already beefed up a bit but as the yard is council owned I'm waiting to see wether they have the money to properly replace the doors with something more substational or wether they will bodge a repair. Know which way that will go.
