on the first day of the school hols,little s###s, very sorry to hear this Jim. Have you been up to check your shed?
Our site was broken into this weekend but only things stolen down the back of the plot where there are no houses >:( I lost nothing - they probably couldn't get INTO my shed for all the rubbish! but others lost a heap of tools, and some of them were brand new as they were the plot holders who had their sheds arsoned last year :'( :'( So the insurance will be called upon AGAIN...I wonder what they do with them???
Having recently visited a car boot sale I was amazed at the amount of lawn mowers and garden tools for sale. These were usually on one sellers stand. How on earth can one stallholder have so many lawnmowers and cultivators on their pitch. Get your tools marked and if you visit a car boot be vigilant and look out for yours or the rest of your allotment holders goods. It is at times like this when murder is in your mind and you could sit shotgun on your patch. Except most of us are too respectful of the law to do such things.

It's almost 100% certain that the tools were stolen to sell on. I'd also not be surprised if they were a gang who moved about your locality or even wider afield stealing the same type of goods from allotment and garden sheds.Any idea of the total value of good stolen Jim? I should think it must be a fair sum so hopefully the police are taking this seriously.After our last break-in they arrived to mark all sorts of tools and even did my stainless steel spade for me. The rotovator is usually stored at home.
yep the rotorvator has been nickedwhen they broke in they nocked the clock off the shelf and the battery fell out and the clock stopped.....it was 2:20am this was the time of the breakin !!
well over a £1000
