Crickey - a big haul that really must hurt. I know people keep their eyes peeled after such events but has anyone ever been caught selling them on?

the police recently busted a major fence in the midlands, who had a load of the national trust stuff that was stolen from down here months back.

Just wondering how this will pan out

Say I'm having a break and someone stops and offers me a cheap saw.

Obviously normally I would tell them to push off.

Do I now say OK lets see it.

Check it over and see TF on it ?????.

Cheers guys - elg - obviously don'w want to put up on the internet what security measures were involved for obvious reasons but obviously we will be doing our damnest to try and ensure it doesn't happen again!

Spoolos, your point is taken. My concern now is weather anyone else would be willing to post information regarding stolen kit for fear of said security measures being compromised?. Stating what you have done in the past and what your planning on doing in the future are in fact Two different things and securing your kit is an on going process, a fluid process so to speak. I am sure there is a percentage of members that have had kit stolen and would rather not be reporting the theft for fear of monitoring by the thieves. Since posting of the thread means and methods of protecting your kit from theft, I believe there has only been 3 reported cases on this forum about stolen items. Perhaps the thread made a difference and members learned things from it that helped their particular situation, I can only hope. I am sure that what ever measures were in place before your loss have been Re-evaluated and a new security protocol is in the process of formulation and activation. I do hope that you recover your stolen kit and that the thieves are caught and prosecuted. In the mean time, always be aware of your surrounding, the watchers need to be watched as well, stay safe!
