Someone stole the telehandler last week from company I used to work for. They left the shutters but took the padlocks with them.
The dumper and mini digger were on the same site too right next to some houses down a dead end street.
Sorry, but I'm just too angry to put 2 coherent words together - tomorrow morn I'm off to Serre Chevalier to play some music (and bit of ski/climb in the day) - leaving the missus to deal with ineffectual police - she's well happy.
See you guys in 10 days.
"Meet the new boss - same as the old boss - We all get fooled again"
when i was on a caravan site after my marriage break up, pikeys came on and towed a blokes new caravan off. the site boss chased but the stoppo driver managed to slow him up and they got away. the owner had driven all the way to yorkshire weeks previously to buy it for £12.000 ( sounds like he was had over by the vendor? ) in his van was £19.000 plus a high powered rifle etc. it was traced to the isle of wight. his girl friend went with police, dressed as a copper to identify the van. it was theirs. the police in so many words told the guy to forget it as it would come back on him. so he had to swallow it. found out after that the guy was doing work for old people and robbing them, so as far as i'm concerned he got what he deserved. :;):
not sure about sean's post,we had a job next to a house bound pikey with a caravan on his drive
when the police turned up because the van was stolen the gippo tried the usual "a man left it there" routine it didnt work and he was carted off and locked up
A mate of mine was in bedford nick recently and there are quite a few gypos serving time now for their thieving antics,the days when they could move on and get away with it are over
the problem is sentences for theft are not a deterrent,

did you see cops with cameras on tv other night? they raided a traveller camp in manchester, found loads of weapons in one van 2 air rifles etc then in the public wash room bit found a 9mm sub machine gun and ammo plus £100k of stolen goods.
