      Scum! Sounds like they need a talking to.

      I know how it feels - I've never been done at home, but it is so bad on our trading estate that anything not under cover is not insured, despite being in a secured compound. Last time cost ten grand.

            Sorry all, went out fishing last night with Willow, she's back for a while :)

            Stuff was all recovered by the police, they'm finger printing it and will be down here doing the same today :)

              Sorry to hear this Zigs, your not alone, here they do the same thing, they've been watching you a few days before then come in take things hide them and come back for them later, you may find that there was two vehicle, car first to get things out then van to pick up later, it's happern to a few neighbours around here, you may find that the police know who they are but can't catch them :grphg::grphg:

                Sorry to hear of the event but pleased you've got it back.

                If they've recovered it, did they get the culprits? Doesn't always happen but they most likely did!

                  So glad they have been found @Zigs, you will get them back, eventually, good job we didn`t use any bad language, membership would have dropped 99%. :grphg:

                    Sorry to hear that Zigs, would probably get banned if I suggested on what I'd do to them.
                    We've had a couple of burglaries around here has well, there just scum bags.

                      So you got all your stuff back Zigs ? That's great . Did they actually catch the scumballs ?
                      If they do prosecute , they will be told they are very naughty boys and don't do it again , and as you are obviously socially deprived have £50 from public funds to help relieve your trauma.

                      I am driving through Somerset in a week or two , where exactly do you keep the expensive rods and what time do you leave for work ? :biggrin:

                            I've had my plot sheds, garage, etc. broken into a few times now and normally the worst problem is the massive extent of the damage caused to nick only a few items worth only a couple of pounds.

                            These idiots keep seem to be thinking that expensive stuff will be left in insecure, remote sheds, and idiot police tell you to postcode/house nr your tools left in them so the scummy thieves can tell where all your expensive power tools left back at home are stored.
