Heads Up - Kit being stolen to order in South West

[TimberCutterDartmoor]

FOR INFO:

 

Just had Police round after a wierd experience where the driver (male, guess late fifties) of untaxed vehicle: Toyota Landcruiser Amazon TD Registration YX06 NYW in Black; boxed me in and took photos of my vehicle/s, trailers etc. Asked him what the hell he was doing - declined to answer but continued photographing inc. me in the picture! Had blonde woman as passenger.

 

Anyways, D&C Constabulary suggested I be vigilent (!) as this vehicle has been on their radar already connected with thefts to order of our kind of gear.

 

Crying shame they didn't come quick enough as he was parked round the corner for 5 minutes afterwards.

Crikey, thats abit extreme! Dare say what i would have done. Hope this does not come of anything, and your gear stays with you.

id invest what money you can in getting everything locked up and beef up the security, we installed security fence and double locked gates and have had no trouble since, we used to get stuff stolen out the yard even with CCTV! with the fence its been a lot better since, worthy investment!

Did it not cross your mind to just walk up and stick the nut clean in to him, and worry about it later. Chances are scum like that couldn't go to the police so I reckon it would have been a win win for you.

Bold and brazen, stay on your guard and take nothing for granted as I commented earlier on in a seperate reply, Organized crime even on a small scale is at work in my opinion. If the police cannot or will not protect your private property you must. Be advised that this site may be monitored by the same people making off with everyones Kit!!. It could be happening!. Watch Out!. I am really not trying to freak any one out just do the best you can and than some.
