ARRGH!! Thieving Low Life Cretins

[Spruce Pirate]

Got out this morning to discover the back of the Land-Rover broken into and 3 saws missing:

Stihl MS 660; Husky 560xpg; Husky 346xp.

 

Stolen last night from Arnprior, Stirlingshire.

 

If anyone local gets offered a saw from the list I'd be very pleased to hear from you.

 

Seems quite a specific theft, nothing else was taken so be on the lookout and keep your kit well secured.

Thieving scum . Sorry to hear about it . Seems to be the norm nowadays ........

Tbh if you leave saws over night in a landrover what do you expect ? not looking for a verbal punch up but its a theft just waiting to happen.

Aye, but that's rubbing the salt in eah?

 

Best of luck!

I doubt Spruce pirate will make the same mistake again but it should prick the ears of other members that think their saw will be safe in a car if they through an old jacket over them.

 

I dont wish to rub salt but we all need to make it harder for tools to be stolen or were just adding fuel to the fire.

I'm with Pat on this one. Whilst I sympathise with Spruce for his loss, why would you leave such expensive equipment in such an insecure vehicle overnight?? This was totally avoidable.

Unfortunately I agree with you - and I won't. If other people lock stuff up better as a result of this thread then that's a good thing. I live in a nice rural location, crime minimal, yes complacent, yes regret it. What's done's done, I'll bounce back.

 

I know I'm stupid for leaving them in there, but I still think that it is responsibility of people NOT TO STEAL STUFF, not my responsibility to secure it. I make no bones about it, yes I made a daft mistatke but this is not my fault - the fault and the blame lies with the people (I'm being generous and still crediting them with being members of the human race) who stole them.

 

As always there is a plus side - no holidays this year or next (and Chirstmas may be cancelled) but I might get a couple of new saws out of it!

I might add the Land-Rover in question has a secure back, solid door, no rear windows, full height bulkhead separating back from cab, so they weren't just lying there with a coat draped over them.
