Broken into, beaten up.

btw rik, make sure you dont tell the insurance company you deliberately tried to block the gate with your motor

[geoff]

Bad news, I will be looking out for that motor, it will probably move to a new area,or get ringed!

[Stephen Blair]

get well soon mate, thats terrible mate

btw rik, make sure you dont tell the insurance company you deliberately tried to block the gate with your motor

 

of course.... why would i ever do that...

 

cheers for all the replies guys, i think in that situation we'd all do the same, weve all worked hard for it.. why the hell should anyone else take it away from us..

 

still... ill heal up, ill fix the gates, make everything as secure as poss and just carry on and hope they dont come back... if they do..... we'll cross that bridge at the time i guess..

 

weve had a fair spate of breakins for metals around our way recently as the prices have started to go back up.. looks to be a case of making everything as unattractive to them as possible..

got the yard broken into on sat afternoon, at 4 in the afternoon! white transit, 6 blokes, took the gate off the hinges, reversed into the yard and were dragging a load of cable that we had stored ready to go to the scrappy at some point..

 

i arrived while they were there, they started to run off.. like the fool i am i decided i was not having my stuff stolen and bust up so i ran after them... as i said.. there were 6 of them, fightin types.. i got a right pasting. on the floor with repeated punches and kicks to the head.

 

likley broken jaw, split lips cheeks, and concussion. great...

 

nickled me phone and drove through the back end of my car whcih id tried to block the gate off with. (write off)

 

i know we all wanna protect our stuff and our places guys but i recon next time it might be better to just block their escape, and get phoning people/ police whoever... but from out of the way... a bit of gear gone is one thing. but it could end up a lots worse than what i got..... ( however in the situation again id probably do just the same as i did this time and go stormin after them)

 

 

 

a couple of asian looking blokes were involved which dosnt strike as normal pikie to me... they had been round that morning apparently to check the place out according to the neighbour,

 

white tranist no distinct markings (however now a bust up front passenger side light cluster and bumber)

 

last 3 digits of numberplate HCB if anyone sees anythin like that round the oxfordshire area please let me know as the police cant seem to find it.. (suprise)

 

keep safe guys

 

Mate sad to hear about that, it's normally travellers who go for scrap metal and they go into adjoining counties to do it as well so it's worth asking Thames Valley Police to liaise with surrounding forces, as for the reg number they can search the police national computer for white trannies with the last 3 digits you managed to record. I know my local force have a dedticated team, well one officer actually who look at metal thefts, if you're close to Northants drop me a line and I'll ask them if they have any simular offences and vehicles.

kit is replacable your not so i am glad that you survived mate could have been a lot worse! Doubt the police will come up with anything apart from a reference no. With all these breakins and crime reported on the site i am beginning to think like a mail reader, that Great britain is gone!

[Mr Ed]

Rik, good for you for having a go. Hope you heal up quick, and it does'nt affect you to much psycologically.

Very frustrating to have them get away with this kind of thing.

[Littletree]

I really hope you get well very soon, thats so bad . Good on you for having a go

I Hope they get caught and strung up in the process.

All the best

Unfrickingbelievable. I can't understand why ya'll don't use guard dogs more often, and I don't mean one or two. I'd have at least three patroling the compound, and they'd always be hungry.

 

Heal up quick, my friend.
