Why so much racist comments. So much talk about pikeys,tarmac driveways,lopping,topping, chopping All of this behaviour in the comments and everybody seems to be okay with it so much criminalise commenting towards only one certain community without any evidential facts photographs,police reports with no Pacific ethnic groups or communities to be shown to the public? All of this is just racist word say from small minded people!

I am a member of a Pacific ethnic group and I stand by for your apology.

Not only have you associated my race with criminals you have appropriated my culture.

Yes.

 

isasacp has already associated me with small minded people and now your including me in a white male dominated sport!

As one of if not Arbtalks smallest racial minority, words cannot express how outraged I feel. A donation to :

0121 WOKECRYBABY might go some way in healing the deep racial wounds your assumption has caused.

Only in terms of numbers. In terms of physicality 'your lot' are ****ing terrifying and most certainly dominant!!!

I had a recent occurance involving a travelling lady taking her newly acquired (via Spock app) chipper and berated husband to a Police station as she had paid another traveller for a stolen chipper! She was livid, the husband henpecked and the Police confused yet surprised!

 

I feel that a number are exported while a fair number remain within the trade. We tried a setting that was basically a keypad lock, but no one wanted to pay for it. We offered all kinds of trackers but they do have their limitations at times and folk got put off by the cost and believe they will be okay too! 

 

Nowt will stop crime, and the buyers of said kit are worse than the thieving scum in the first place!

A chipper that looked very like our stolen chipper came up on eBay after being missing for many years. We had been paid so I guess it belonged to the insurance company, but I called the police local to where it was being sold and they weren't interested. I messaged the seller asking for serial numbers and they pulled it from eBay.

[Mark Bolam]

Well ebay wouldn’t pull it would they?

They are as bad as the thieves.

I’ve told this story before but it bears repeating.

 

Left à tracked chipper on a trailer and it got nicked (yes I know!) over £10k of uninsured stuff.

Put up a reward and the guy who nicked it figured it would be an easier payday than trying to  sell it.

So we arranged to meet in a Newhaven pub car park  to pay the reward (£1000) and I’d get my chipper.

I phoned the coppers dealing with the theft, and said if you can supply a plod with a warrant card we can nick him.

They declined, asked if I could delay it till someone was available!

Anyway I called in some big mates and just took it, no money changed hands.

Unhappy thief phoned me up as we drove home threatening to burn down my house etc.

 

Pissed ourselves laughing at him!
