Hi new to posting on here although been regularly looking through the forums.

I am based in sunny Cornwall doing firewood, tree work and.. well whatever comes my way.

Finished up on last Sunday evening and as i was away for the week i made sure everything was put away and tidied up...however came back on the weekend and had a quick look in the sheds and noticed the gates left wide open, bearing in mind this is in the ass end of nowhere.

went to where the gear i was using was and its gone so if any one offers you any of the gear below.. which i highly doubt they will be see ever again!

so whats gone

Stihl ms 362 quickstop

Stihl re129 pressure washer

Stihl small axe

Stihl special helmet

Stihl tool kit, spare chains ect

and various other tools..

would like to catch up with them so can have the keys to my truck and the rest of my gear.

We have a small track leading into our woodland, with a locked gate.

10 or so days ago a newish defender and trailer carrying a rather large hire company generator appeared there. On inspection it was obviously stolen with cables ripped out of the generator and several tow hitches and tools in the back of the defender. The police were called and the situation explained. They said none of those things are reported stolen so you will have to report it to the council as an abandoned vehicle. So we were amazed and just locked the gate with a heavy chain and waited for it to dissappear. Anyway about 5 days later the police knocked on the door asking for the key to the gate as they had now decided they might be stolen. Think it was because we contacted the hire company and told them where there generator was. Fake plates on landy and trailer too.

Later that day it was all over local cops twitter sating how there investigations had solved 3 crimes and weren't they clever.

They were lucky it was still there 5 days later.

We are near milton keynes generator was from Lincoln.
