Three of us were in our tractors first thing on a Monday morning. The tractors had been left in the field over the weekend.

I turned the key and nothing happened. Looked over at the other guys and saw them having the same problem.

All the batteries had been nicked. Much swearing, scumbags etc.

 

Then found that they had bothered to put all the nuts back on all the battery clamps and terminals, rather than just cutting the battery cables.

 

All this meant that a short trip to the local tyre and battery store was followed by a quick battery fitting session and I think we were going again within the hour. If they had cut the cables it would have been a different story.

 

On top of this they had left my favourite spanners and other tools as well as my portable transistor radio.

 

Is there such a thing as a good thief? Or perhaps a less bad thief!

A farmer friend had a starter motor nicked off a vintage tractor he owned, the thief left the nuts and washers neatly placed in order on the front axle. He told me that in his opinion the man who wanted it was either a mechanic, or he took a mechanic with him.
