  4. get a rottie alsation dutch herder or belgian malinois there will be no thefts then i used to work all these dogs when i was a security dog handler and remember no matter how covert or expense you spend on cctv a 50p balaclava will ruin that job (i know a bit much far fetched but if you leave a saw or any other gear there then it will soon be a problem)

  5. i had a problem with a customer once refusing to pay so i took all the waste back to them they werent in but there was a window open with it being in a ruff area i thought it best to make sure there property was safe so inserted ruffly a tonne of wood chip through said window police appeared half way through the job explained the situation saying it wasnt a safe area so was returning it there so it was safe and that i wasnt going to be responisble if the woodchip went missing the police were very helpful and let me carry on returning there property in a safe and secure location never did hear back but at least wasnt clogging my storage area up and made enough off the firewood lol

     

    (im not suggestng any one copy what i did lol )
