Theft last night

[Paulfreebury]

I thought I'd share this with you, last night our farm workshop was broken into, the alarm was activated and I was on scene within 5 mins, the bastards had ripped the door off by pulling it with a 4x4 and chain, once in they cut the lock from the ground anchor that was securing the quad bike, it was then lifted into the back of a pick up and gone. They didnt touch the saws or the racing quad that wasn't secure. What the scum didn't know was after having four other quads nicked in the past 2 years we had a tracker fitted, once we had activated it the police get a code and up goes the chopper it locates our quad 15 miles away, the chopper followed it for an hour through rural villages and even along a train track, eventually they decide to turn off there lights and drive across a few fields to hide, the chopper spotlights them and the 4 occupants get out and give themselves up, within minutes the ground units arrest them, I was fortunate to here the chase over the police radio very exiting stuff. if you value your kit get a tracker fitted It's well worth the money, Oh and talking to the police this morning the thieves were from a traveling community in Wiltshire and well known by several police forces.

brilliant news

[WorcsWuss]

Good news...!

Did I hear someone say 'cut off their hands'...?

 

Oh, just the voice in my head!

[PeteB]

RESULT!!!

 

I hope that the punishment is worthy of the crime although I doubt that it will reform them.

 

I wonder if the CPS will send the case to court or that they will decline due to lack of evidence and your culpability in owning such an item forsooth Milud!

[TRADITIONAL LOGGERS]

That's good news. Hope the courts think the same and the vehicle used to steal with is crushed! Someone needs to invent a micro system to use on chainsaws.

Fantastic news. Go's to show that a few ounces of prevention was well worth Hundreds of pounds of cure. As far as punishment is concerned I am with other members for the removal of body parts starting with the head.

Too risky Bella, tracker signals can get blocked. Best option by police. Hope a few more items stolen from lads on here show up.
