mr pessimist here! are your plots being eyed up for development? is someone trying to drive the plotholders off of the land?
we dont lock our sheds saves a packet in repairs
Our field was targetted by vandals overnight last night - they gained access by cutting through the chain link on one of the gates and then bolt cropped /used crow bar on padlocks and bolts on 35 sheds - but they don't appear to have taken anything. Worse shed targetted was our field machinery shed which has a very strong steel bar across the doors and strong steel fixing bars to the side - they couldn't bolt crop the fixings (although they tried) so attempted to gain access by smashing the wood at the side of the door. Occupant of one of the houses backing onto our site (he has an allotment here) heard noises and investigated - he did tackle one of them but intruder got away - leaving behind their bolt croppers. It was reported to the police and they attended fairly quickly and have said that everyone (my shed was one of those targetted) needs to report individually. To come out armed with bolt croppers they must have intentionally targetted us but why cause all this damage - and take nothing?
