| Re: Garden thieves
My sister used to carry bags of rubbish out for her neighbour (and leave it ready for pickup
by the bin men) one day after a bank holiday she left one bag while she went to fetch another only to return to see two young blokes running off with it! their faces must have been a picture when they came to divide the spoils!
On a more sobering note a local farm had 5 new five barred gates taken they had only been hung a few days earlier and were branded with the farms name in 3"high letters
A farm we used to holiday on in Cornwall/Devon the farmer used to leave his power tools out
in clear view in the tractor house,I advised him to lock them away which he did.The following year every farmhouse and main outbuilding had a burglar alarm fitted after a spate of brazen thefts where a couple just drove into the farms and took everything that was not nailed down from the empty farmhouses and outbuildings ,Tack,tools barbedwire,oil,tyres,
televisions, cash, tea sets,tables chairs, leather armchairs ,electric fencing etc.
