Diver One Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 Can i make a suggestion?.........temporarily sign the guns over to a mate whilst you are using the mines. Just in case the scrote tells a little fib and says you took a shot at him! JUST A THOUGHT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lot of folk wandering where they shouldn't be at mo. Farm opposite me got done 2 nights running other week. 5 others done locally. Everyone a bit twitchy and suspicious at mo! Farmer has put gates up. Bit late now. Lent another my cams. NB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmicblue Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 Was only saying earlier today that the thieving low-life scumbags must be really frustrated that the majority of target properties are occupied 24x7 - we should all be more vigilant.

Dougy Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 If they are intent on stealing fuel i would leave a nice full can of fuel with some nice additive in. Bleach does a nice job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno22rf Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 People should be careful when creeping around during darkness - there could be an upturned piece of wood with nails sticking thru just laid about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loriusgarrulus Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 Sorry to hear about the petrol. You could always put some sugar in a can of fuel cause I know you are sweet like that. 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clodhopper Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 How much pyrotechnics do you get from them mines? Could always attach it to the can, with the lid only on a turn. Just a thought🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
