hedd-wyn Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Some ******* robbed a 32k tractor off from the farmer I shoot for a few years back. The permission is about three miles from the nearest town and no one saw nothing! They must've driven the tractor down the lane that leads to the sheds with the lights off to avoid being detected, and smashed a gate post before turning into the main road. Two years later and the police still have NO clues or suspects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Sorry to hear about his loss. It's always a horrible feeling knowing someone's stuff has been stolen but hey, what can you do? I've got a chipper and some other kit here. Only ever had it chained to a tree but it's close to the house and I try to pile as much junk around it as I can so it's a bit time consuming to get out. I don't know what I'd do if I caught someone trying to take it. Tell them to **** off out the window and hope they went along with it is about the lot - I certainly wouldn't go outside for what it's worth. I wonder how the police would take me sticking a .338 round into their engine block? Can't see them towing it far after that?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Why should it make you look bad? your not paid to police his farm are you? exactly if anything it was good you were about to alert him to it before they came back for anything else. That won't get sold it'll just mean they can charge more when doing tree jobs and get more in the back of the tipper ready to dump in the nearest gateway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bionic Man Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 I wonder if the 'Travelling Community' have developed an invisibility cloak. We've had 6000 litres of diesel stolen from work twice in the past (and the factory is in a residentail area), our touring caravan was towed away by the TGB's and nobody saw anything........spooky. Wish I could not pay income tax, national insurance, water rates, council tax etc, etc. Somehow their lifestyle doesn't seem to be acceptable in today's society.

Two years later and the police still have NO clues or suspects. I imagine it was in a container and sailing the sea by the end of the day. There are some good/shocking stats in amongst this report; http://www.cesarscheme.org/PANIU_Report.pdf £400 million in agricultural/plant machinery purloined annually. 5% recovered - the majority of which is via GPS or other security devices (not the police). What amazes me, is how much these things cost... yet the farmers aren't equipping them with adequate and reactive/responsive security devices (or the flip side, why aren't the manufacturers building them in). Rural crime used to be opportunistic, it is now organised (and very well organised at that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think next Wednesday is a bit long to wait for attendance, if attendance is required at all, but why are the police useless. What would be gained by coming, say, today for instance? Is there evidence that you feel would be lost by non attendance and didn't put in the OP? Here the details of the item would be taken over the phone so that a crime is put on the system straight away and allocated to an officer (normally within 24hrs) to investigate, and or put out a press release to the local papers etc so folks can be made aware that the item has been stolen. As said previously..... it would be nice to be able to leave equipment in situ, but these people are professionals at what they do, bcse they are at it all the time bigt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KFC Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Few weeks ago I got a new permission. The chap couldn't come with me to show me the boundaries but he drew a map which showed me all I needed to know. He included the combination for the lock on the double metal gates across the access road. When I turned up at the field I had to phone him to tell him that the gates had gone. :blink: A couple of years, or so, ago contractors investigating the A14 bypass left a digger in a field overnight. Thieves drove it across the field to a layby on the A14 and then onto a low loader. They took the gates as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferguson_tom Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 We had them break into one of our small barns all they stole was two tractor batteries and a radiator. But for some reason the decided to smash the windscreen, cut the battery cables, cut the individual injector pipes from the pump to the cylinders and drain the fuel out of the tractors onto the floor. I couldn't understand the mindless vandalism it caused us so much aggrevation and about £600 to fix and replace everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDAV Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Considering a basic GPS tracker is under £500 I am surprised they aren't fitted as standard or offered by the dealers as standard and you have to ask what customs are doing as alot of this stuff seems to go over the water.....

That sadly seems to be what`s lacking, you phone up and get a crime number and that`s about it. If the farmer threatened them with a shotgun the police would have been on his back like a rucksack. It`s no wonder people say crime does pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
