Warning Lincolnshire...

[dogman]

I was working in the village of Long Bennington this morning, which is about half way between Grantham & Newark, & had my treebusta on the verge, i was only 6/7 yards away, but out of sight in a hedge(you know how you do..).

I heard a diesel vehicle approaching & looked up & saw the "scrapman" 2 up in his transit pickup, they did a double take at my kit slowed down, looked for me but did'nt see me. They then went about a 100yds & turned round, there was no need for them to do so, then came back, by this time i'd got to the back of the van & got the pick handle out & stepped out into view, they then drove off, so if you are in the area please be careful.

Pick one round here, i'd guess white, and a transit. All and sundry are after 'scrap'.

At The hospital where i work, the gardners lost about 10k worth of gear, and nearly lost their van. This was at mid day, and three of them broke into the workshop whilst the gardeners were upstairs having lunch.

 

This was in doncaster. 3 men, white transit.

Cheers for the heads up, I live the other side of Lincoln and there had been several reports to the police of a transit tipper up my street at 3am shining a lamp in peoples drives...I intend to catch them and get their plate this weekend so I too can inform the police in the hopes that they can do something haha

Hundreds of them in Newark where we are based as they have a huge camp there, you can watch scrap vans ride by every couple of minutes. I visited our new premises yesterday in Grantham & low & behold scrap men turned up, there should be a pest control you can put down for these scum.
