stolen climbing kit

[Johny Walker]

just a breif one how many folk have had there climbing kit nicked in the last 12momths reason for asking having been robbed 5,times (that should cheer a few folk up) they have never taken this kit all that goes are saws & red diesel ?

[Andy Collins]

Not exactly rocket science to work out the reason, the market for "hot" saws is big, easy to flog at a car boot sale, down the pub, etc. Red diesel cannot be traced back to the owner, can be used in the trucks to get around and so on. Harnesses, ropes and carabiners have a very small niche market, even brand new, not worth the trouble of nicking something if you cant shift it.

had 2 kits stolen the other year

problem is that is more money than 5 saws and they probably dumped it all or got £20 for it

[treewizard]

ive had one kit taken, they took it along with all the saws and blower, silky pole, power pruner, fuel cans and fold up signs!

[Alasdair]

sounds like they took everything you own treewizard, i didnt think there would be a market for tree cutting signs.

[treewizard]

nah nor did i, they took everything even a run over stihl 017!!

[Lee Winger]

Given the time element, they will take the teeth from your grandmothers head

[MattyF]

I've had mine nicked in the past!

[kipperfeet]

Mate of mine his unit cleared out a month ago and they took his kits and rigging stuff as well!

 

Not sure what they would do with a lowering bollard and capstens but very annoying as its worth nothing to them but everything to us.
