I've was intruded this morning by 3 illegal off road bikes. Came up my drive and scarpered when I came at them with a gransfurs. Now added an extra fence (electric) to keep the geese in. I'm paranoid and don't keep a lot here and what I do have is locked in a box in a box in a box, which has CCTV, pir&burgler alarms and pir lights. Takes me 10 mins to get to my saws with keys. As a forum we have an advantage. We are nationally active. I suggest I draft a letter which you can all e mail to our mp's asking them to discuss this matter in parliament and to look for solutions/create a national crime unit. It's as good as election time gents (and ladies) lets make the most of it!

Spotters on trail bikes looking what you've got more like. You see them round here with their eyeballs on swivels. I grease the top of the back gate for them trying to look over. I once caught a copper with it as well :lol:

Lost, I think not. Through a closed gate next to a main rd. gate clearly marked as private. If you work in the woods you soon realise that you can carry quite a lot on a bike... Harvester computer systems, chain saws, tool boxes..... No plates or busted plates... I also regularly see a pattern of crossers first, then quads, then 4x4s then 4x4s with trailers. Stealing timber, fuel, in fact anything that's not bolted down. And even if it is you need to be sat on it with a gun to truly stop thieves.
