Theft last night

[button1803]

well done mate fantastic result!!! well done you for going the extra mile with getting a tracker.. my father in law is a game keeper on a large wood he also manages with the foresty commision, got steel iron gates, funny enough our travelling friends decided to freeze, cut the locks off, and angle grind the weld out, thats all fine to them, you touch them thats it your in jail, but breaking and entering seems fine! so again well done you.. so all my father in law did was get his jcb, dump tonnes and tonnes of chicken and other animal crap in big piles at both entrances and dug a ditch! what a smell that is up there and reports are they are planning to leave, just means they gota cross a ditch, past the muck and use 4x4's to get out! BEST OF LUCK!

Good news...!

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

 

Oh, just the voice in my head!

 

When you say "hands", surely you mean another part of their anatomy.

shame there wasnt a train

 

1st in line to drive it:lol:

Simple answer is yes, with adequate back up. I don't understand why posters on this site automatically assume police have no go areas around travellers sites. It is simply not true. However they have a responsibility to protect their officers as well as the public, so such entry may have to be postponed untill suffucient resources make it safe to do so. I was a police officer for over 30 years and I NEVER failed to enter such sites when necessary. In fact it was the most enjoyable part of the job, nicking thieving scum like that. As far as following the Tracker signal to their lock up/yard, that is not viable as you don't know where they may be going. They might abandon the item to return later. If they then disappear into a built up area or even a crowded traveller site (Oh no!!!) you've lost your prisoner, evidence,conviction,prison sentence (hopefully) and the satisfaction of catching them in the act. No brainer really.

 

Different to the experience I had I'm afraid. Used a JCB and a transit full of blokes to get it back, and saw me nicked, but it was worth it!

If they're old enough to be driving, they have probably already been breeding for a while

Scums of the earth!

Someone is going to come along and accuse us of being racist towards these lovely caravan dwellers, who are totally misunderstood and would never dream of stealing from hard working people or cut the padlocks from farmers fields so they can hare course, or destroy peoples property and nick everything inside,bully & intimidate old people to hand over their cash . But it wont be me. As said above: SCUM OF THE EARTH.
