Attempt theft mewp West Yorkshire

[Breezeblock]

they cant be that good at plant thefts these things are quite simple to hotwire even to lift the legs is quite easy all you need is a portapower as the cylinders have pilot op check valves in them you can take the pins out of them and hold them up with ratchet straps the biggest problem with plant is the fact that most manufacturers use 1 or 2 keys for the whole range not a good idea

Glad they never got away with it Dean... I'd forgotten about how you protect your container!!

You get a text alert- then what do you do that you can live with- do you phone police first? It's a hard one

Got one of those stealth cams, going to mount it on a camera pole

 

I have had to confront thieves on four occasions, two of those were very scarey, more for them than me. I will call the police first next time before I go down but the last time it took them three days to respond.

 

To be honest, I will take no prisoners, they damage my equipment, I will damage their motor, that's fair in my view and they will expect no less, you get caught you get caught, the winch on the landrover makes a good battering ram

I think I would **** myself if I came face to face with thieves but I hope I would put up a good fight.
