My turn

[agg221]

OK, if anyone spots a mid-1980s 090AV with an old, tatty 28" Stihl bar, or a mid-1980s 076AV with a very new looking 47" Stihl Duromatic bar and ripping chain on it, still bolted to an Alaskan mill, please let me know. The mill has the front post missing.

 

Cheers

Scum!!!, bad news mate

[Pat Ferrett]

Were they left laying about or were they targeted ?

[agg221]

They weren't laying about, but they weren't targetted - the other things that went were a couple of rolls of lead for the extension, so I reckon it was people of the mobile disposition. You can only hand carry anything in and out of our place.

 

On the plus side, the 076 is not very happy so it's saved it going on a trip to Spud.

Sorry to hear that Alec, what a bummer, those saws are worth a few bucks! Perhaps we should leave one lying around with a little surprise for when they flick the switch.....boom:thumbup1:

 

I know how much you liked your saws, guess they are replaceable but still bad:thumbdown:

[geoff]

Thats bad news mate,I feel for you.

Sorry to hear you have had visit from some thieving scum,will keep a eye out. If i hear anything I will let you know,just down the road in Newmarket . The other week they nicked a pair of hardwood gates and electric openers worth £15000 ,they must have used a hiab to get them off there hinges. So much rural crime and nothing seems to be done about it!

[agg221]

Cheers All,

 

It's slightly odd - more for what they didn't nick, and walked straight over/past. I can only think that someone came down the road and they decided perhaps it wasn't quite as quiet along our road as they thought it was, or that they felt they had been there long enough what with every trip up to the road by hand, lugging something heavy.

 

Nothing they didn't take is where it was, and the access route they used, which is pretty much the only route, is now no longer accessible thanks to an unravelled roll of barbed wire.

 

Now I have to see whether insurance will pay up or wriggle out of it.

I think you may be right - shoe size about 6. Must have needed a car to get it away though.
