least they didn't take the wagon or cut the fuel line like they do sometimes, £80 loss not that bad

we've lost about £20k of stuff last 12 months

2metres at house 1 metre out then 1 metre wide.

Hardly worth the effort to nick it then

its a lot of inconvenience for the home owner and the next fix or pint for the thief

popped home from work at 13.40 for a quick cuppa then back out,neighbour rang up at 15.30 to ask what had happened to my garage door

i got home to this

police not even interested ,just gave me a crime report number even though the neighbour spotted a blue astra van they didnt want a statement as it could just be coincidence,unless theres a rake of blood not worth us coming out they said
needless to say they took the highest value item in there my stihl FS400 brushcutter
we did a blockpaving job last week and i felt the eyes were on me then,
blinding is too good for these lowlife,the way i feel now i would torture them
anyway what a bracing day it was,
so cold that thieves had a cloak of invisibility at 3pm on a busy route through luton!

did they back the van in to hide what they were doing, f£ckers

been reading about the private prisons some of the private contractors and bounty hunters had in afghanistan looking for osama etc well the $25m reward the stuff they were doing would be to good for those scummers.

Thats one of the problems these days, no one bothers keeping an eye out as they would have done a few years back.

We had our office broken into last year. Our landlord even got the registration plate of the car. Surprise surprise police did nothing about it. Makes you want to be sick
