OLDSHOOTER Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 I have just read of a horrific story of a pigeon shooter stopped to survey a field for pigeon his parner locking up the 4x4 but left his keys o n the seat, when to his horror saw his vehicle being driven of with ,his gear still inside ..Guns ammo nets etc. Someone had dropped his mate to drive away his 4x4 and gear . He immediatly reported the theft to police and an air and road serch went on . Fortunatly they jumped a set of lights and were caught redhandded with all the tackle inside . The police kept his gear for evidence etc. HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU GET OUT OF YOUR VEHICLE TO LOOK OVER FEILDS FOR A FEW MINUTES THIS HAPPENED SO QUICK. A WARNING MUST BE SENT TO ALL SHOOTERS TO BE VERY AWARE THAT VILLANS ARE NOT FAR AWAY On this occation no harm done. WE MUST ALL BE AWARE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

steve_b_wales Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 I always lock mine whenever I'm away from it, even when getting fuel. Strange though that the vehicle was locked but the keys left on the seat (?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossco89 Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 Interesting that the writer didn’t have his certificate put on hold like his friends. Anyone know how this ended for the friend ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Essex police were very understanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
