Not good but it is going on every where, and not just under the cover of darkness, mate of mine had his suzuki vatara broke in to about midday not long since, he only went to quote a job about 10 minuets and came back and side window smashed, 2 hedge cutters, blower, long reach hedge cutter, pole saw and a 500i that was about 6 wk old,you need to set something up on the door with a 12v gell battery, car horn, micro switch and led lights, if they know your gear is in there they will be back for the new replacment machines,

Last night had my container broke into 550xp ,ms 441 and stihl long reach trimmer gone,would have had more but thought i heard a bang and got up and must have spooked em,hope they come back for the rest,be nice to meet em??

Shame you didn’t get hold of them Gary and if you need any chainsaws etc to get you by for now get in touch and I will help you out.

Things like this never get put in this local paper to make more people aware of the serious issue rural crime is and how it affects our livelihood.

When I had my lock up broken into a couple of years ago I rang my local rural crime support and all I got was a load of promises and just words which means FA.

To be fair the police are stretched to there limits at the moment and to be honest have been for years and thieves know this and play on it all the time and are very really caught.

I was glad to read the police raid on then pikey site last week down in London and apart from the usual drugs,guns etc there was no mention of any machinery there was  however around 30 stolen gundogs there which had been taken.

A lot the chainsaws and other equipment are now stolen to order so as soon as they Nick the machines it’s gone with no trace.

Hope you get sorted soon and the sad thing is no matter what we do to protect and store our equipment as safe as we can it will never be completely safe.

Ya I guess every cloud...when my lock up gone done I decided to keep all my chainsaws,hedge cutters and climbing equipment in the house as lucky enough to have a separate large cupboard,it’s the only way it’s safe unless they break into the house which is far less likely.ok fella glad all good and let’s hope they come back and your there to say hello.??
