Stimo22 Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 Today had our first clay shoot after the lock down, and had a good morning until we got back to the cars. Some moron had run a key up several of the cars, one top of the range Merc estate had it full lenght of car. One young lad had his pride and joy damaged and he was watching not shooting. What was the point of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lancer425 Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 Selfish people do irrational pointless things, probably a local, who got used to the quiet in the lockdown woke up today in a bad temper and took it out on your cars. Very sorry to hear of this, and all you can realistically do is contact the p[olice. Dont expect much help but you never know they do come up with results some times but its rare.

Westley Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 Sorry to hear that. I had the same a few years ago, put it down to the WAGBI car badge. Now no badges or stickers of any form. Some CCTV in operation signs can work wonders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same was said about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, there's a lot going on like this not just clay clubs, a chap I know had his caravan wrecked by vandels on his small holding just out side a vale town, I would recommend the club put up some of those night cameras Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its going to cost them quite a bit but hopefully should stop the vandalism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, why not a few of those day/night wild life cameras in camo, I don't think signs CCTV in operation will stop people determined to stop shooting, oh and you could get a small container and weld the best way to secure doors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stimo22 Posted June 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 We had another shoot today and put out a couple of trail cams and got no further damage. Moved most of the cars into a field so they were safe. Only a small village nearby and not many new residents so not sure who we have upset as we have been in same place since 1984 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
