Herne Bay/Canterbury/Whitsable break ins

[Darren187]

Just a heads up...

 

Between 11pm (4th Nov) and Early this morning (Friday 5th Nov) we had a Hatz chipper and several stone saws stolen from our secure compound. The thieves also caused around £500 worth of damage to fencing (which was smashed through, with amazing effort, to get to the gear).

 

This happened in the Herne/Herne Bay outskirts, in Coastal Kent. The police officer who attended said that we're the third place in the area that this has happened to in the last few weeks.

 

To be honest, I'm not that bothered about the stuff being gone (ok I am), but I'm more annoyed of the fact our privacy has been invaded in such a way! ...

thanks for the replies...

 

Luckily after talking to our insurers we're insured, so we will get something back. The loss of the chipper isn't too much of an issue for me currently as I'm coppicing through until March, so I don't need to use it.

 

If we do get another one I think the best option will be to security mark it, GPS track it, and personalise it a bit (which we did when we first got it).
