Good point and done that before but not always as practical .tried to make it covid safe but completely failed 

Make it clear before they turn up that you want bank transfer for payment,not cash,that usually puts the pikeys off

Re-evaluate your insurance policy, read the fine print (all of it), make sure EVERYTHING is covered, and upgrade/change provider if needed.

 

If Arbsafe is still running, register everything with pics and serial numbers on there. good record for you knowing what you've got if nothing else

True but I didn’t realise who they were until they turned up .wanted to buy everything even though not for sale.maybe just some chancers hopefully not stealing scum

Saul, just because you might know a few good ones does not mean there is not a massive problem with 'pikies' and the folk who have no fixed abode. To deny this is ludicrous.

 

If this thread offends you then how about putting it on ignore instead of demanding everyone else not be allowed to continue the discussion?

You dont have to read it ? i only read what i want to read on here and if it is not of interest to me i simply dont bother with it, there is lads every day getting there gear nicked but we dont hear about it, a guy i know had a new Quad delivered on 5th Jan but some scum bag decided to help there self to it last thursday night 21st jan, cut lock on building door and a chain that was round quad and the front axel on a tractor, all this happened in about 45 seconds and his new bike was gone, If it happens to you will you be defending them then, i very much dought it !! you will be calling them as well, i have had stuff nicked over the years, ok nothing of real value but when you go to a site and and what you need for the day is not there it hurts, it costs and is very frustrating,

There are good and bad in all walks of life, we all know this. But these are typical traits of gypsies and i too would be very concerned. To be victim to this crime is truely awful and i can understand peoples fears.
