watch out there's a thief about

[s.varty]

Scrap yards stop paying cash (bank account holders only), theft of saws etc rocket. just a coincidence?

If anyone feels inclined to have a look at some point I would be interested to know if they're fakes or nicked. Still on the hunt for my 090.

The last one`s around here where selling a copy of the mighty stihl 5200:lol:

A customer had bought one, and when he unpacked it, he said it didnt say stihl like the one he seen in the back of the van.

It was a silver mitsubishi shogun van.

I've been offered "bargain" generators from a Range Rover as far south as here (north of Bordeaux) must be good money in it!

Yes they were Oirish!

Had this myself down near Haverhill in Suffolk just before Xmas, they was on their way to cambridge so they said.

 

I said no thanks and once they drove off I reported them to Cambridgeshire police with their Reg number!

 

Doubt anything came of it.

I know someone who bought one, to my disgust. He's not in the industry and needed a saw for fire wood. He's likely to ask me to sharpen it for him at some point. What am I looking for to see if it's real or a fake?

If it's fake, it probably won't last long enough to need a sharpen.

I've just had 2 different travelling sales men come to a site I'm on in Preston within 15 minutes of each other offering still chainsaws

Had some in a hired, car sized van stop last year offering Stihl MS441's at £250 each.

 

Told the Oirish gent i'd have all he'd got at that money.

As he was getting one out i got the one i'd just got from Justin out.....

 

Suffice to say they wern't quite the same..

 

He too drove off giving me a load of abuse as we were rolling on the floor with laughter
