They came yesterday and did minor damage, pulled a few canes on another plot and stripped one of my Banana plants of its leaves, smashed my scarecrow to the ground ::)

Today (Sunday) they stripped the fleece from my runner beans and broke a few canes. >:(

Ripped the netting off my broad beans and damaged a few :(

Broke timber posts and canes around my carrots and stripped off the fleece ::)

Mashed a few spuds >:(

Smashed the trunks of my banana plants and tore down a few 4x2 slabs >:(

Second Banana plant wrecked >:(

Third and fourth smashed to the ground, mindless thugs >:(

Then they moved on to the newly installed taps the morta not set yet on the slabbed roof >:(

The mark of yobs is clear to see ::)

The blue netting was a "keep net" converted to cover my a young cabbage plants, the beds were roped off but no more :(

I have left everything as it is for now can't be arsed today, I will phone the secretary tomorrow and request that we paint security paint over the top of the new fence and gates.

If anyone else has any useful ideas on how to combat these morons please feel free :)

No advice Roy, but just wanted to say so sorry after you've obviously put in so much work, and even with the damage your lottie is an inspiration to a newbie like me.

Set some snares for them Roy, the little s***s, just do not know what they get out of doing it.

If it can be made hard for them to get onto the site, they'll soon go away. We get occasional outbreaks of trouble, but they only go for plots which are easy to get into.

;) Thanks for the advice and kind thoughts, I omitted to add that they left the tap full on when they left, I assume it happened late last night possibly just B4 dark? And was discovered around noon today, so my new plot has had enough water for the whole of summer. ::)

Robert is there anything special or out of the ordinary that you Lottie folk do to keep the filth out? As I thought our Lottie was pretty secure after they filled the wholes in at the bottom of the new fence, half of the new fence is 8ft high the rest is 6ft high. We think they scaled the gates (6ft) and used the ground bolts as foot holds, so we have since painted the top with black security paint. ::)

Maybe paint the ground bolts too for good measure?

Thats awful Roy. :( You must be gutted after putting in a lot of hard work. Little sods.

Oh Roy! How horrible for you!! I am speechless, which for me is rare, just dunno what to say, other than...well......don't let the shites get you down and spoil things for you all! :-\

Plot holders on my site have been living in fear for the last few weeks, gyppos have set up camp just accross the road. Lone women and old boys even lock the gate when they're inside because they feel so vulnerable. Sterilize the scum, it's the only answer

Robert_Brenchley · « **Reply #13 on:** June 12, 2005, 23:44:22 »

The secret on my site is thorn hedges and strong gates, but it's an unusual site. They can always get in via the Botanical Gardens' territory, and people don't always lock the gate, so occasionally we get people coming in with lorries. But they only tackle plots which are easy to get into, and mine isn't.

Oh Roy, I'm so sorry.
Mindless little s**ts - unfortunately it seems to be the way the world is going and we are powerless to stop it. It's probably their 'human right' to go around doing this sort of thing.
Don't forget - school holidays are approaching fast, so I'm sure we can expect even more of this.

:o Oh Roy that's terrible >:( I don't know what makes people to do such things >:( We are having allot of vandalism around here this year, it seeems to go in waves >:( I can offer no sugestions except shoot the B*******s ??? ???

kenkew · « **Reply #16 on:** June 13, 2005, 09:16:56 »

....and while all this is going on, no-one sees or hears a thing!

Marley Farley · « **Reply #17 on:** June 13, 2005, 09:27:29 »

;D Of course !!! >:( >:(

Lily · « **Reply #18 on:** June 13, 2005, 09:37:09 »

I'm very sorry to hear about your site Roy, but can someone tell me what is special about Black Security Paint.

RSJK · « **Reply #19 on:** June 13, 2005, 09:52:43 »

It is so true about nobody seeing or hearing a thing why this vandalism goes on, I can see vigilante groups in a few years time operating in this country because the goverment despite all its huffing and puffing are getting nowhere, and you mark my words in 4 or 5 years time when they are up for election again it will once again be a political issue.

Bring the birch back and strap the bu**ers within a inch of there lifes, they have got to be taught that right is right and wrong is wrong.

Better get of my soap box before I blow a fuse.
>:( :-X :o
