Traveller Symbols

[Daniel Jiggins]

Some travelers near me, I've twice noticed a boot screwed to trees along the roadside. No idea if it's anything to do with them or what it is about

 

 

Just found this...

They will tie little plats in a horses main or tail as a sign of the one to steal .

 

 

They were caught doing that in field near here, apparently it's so they can feel the identifying signal when they come back at night. Incidentally the ones caught doing this claimed couldn't speak English when challenged.

 

As per my post on the forest machine attempted theft/operator assault - how much of this continual thievery are we supposed to put up with?

I never expected to read such a statement from you of all people...

Answered that about the harvester operator in as restrained a way I could mate .

Aye so not necessarily anything to do with the travelers then, they've been pretty well behaved actually but probably to do with the fact they managed to buy the land.

A fox doesn't usually kill lambs in the field next to its earth.I think the same goes for these low life's.

When they see a property in the countryside that they intend to return to under cover of darkness,they have been known to simply tie a carrier bag into a hedge close to the entrance.

This looks innocent enough to anybody,as bags are always being blown about,but in the dark they can drive straight to that bag,and down the drive they go.

Often a bag is put at several properties so they can target the lot in one night,then move out of the area next day.

Not my experience, council built them a camp here, they moved in robbing went up they trashed the camp then moved out, robbing went down.

 

Thats a worry tom you have enough on your plate without that

Chalk marks on a gate, fence or on the floor close to a property is another marker.

Also a they have been known to use stones, rocks etc as markers.

They do get up to skullduggery on their own door step.

I've always found them to be as honest and sound as car dealers.
