Im new to here + all my gear stolen :(

[Mick Dempsey]

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.

 

That story doesn't suprise me, I'll retell the story of my stolen and recovered chipper one day, and the police's "help"
