Thieves beware!

[Pholland]

This is becoming such a big problem. There must have been nearly ten robberies in my local area since Christmas. All chainsaws and gardening equipment is what seems to be targeted. Why don't they just go to a tool hire shop and get a mother load and leave us people who struggle enough alone. I urge everyone to watch out and if possible get a big scary dog. But then again they try and steel your dog these days too. At least the tools can be replaced.

Thanks for the reminder, last time I had mine stolen it took me over a year to raise the cash for their replacements and I swore I'd cover the new lot in Smartwater which I've not done yet.

Also ITS have reduced the price of lots of power tools ( about two months after I replaced mine) Arraggggh.

Because those places have alarms.

It astounds me how many people don't have alarms in/on their homes... They deter all but the most determined of criminals, which also goes in your favour should you ever get into a tussle with one and he or she is injured.

Not really much that can be done for sheds though, which is a shame.

When I get moved I'll be making sure to build a stone outhouse with solid doors and locks on, just to be safe.

A light with a motion detector switch is fairly inexpensive and mounts well on the shed's exterior wall.

keep an eye out on Ebay and Gumtree mate, i think that you can set a notification feature that sends you an email when a related item gets put up for sale. I know a couple of friends who have had things stolen and they have popped up on Gumtree a couple of weeks later
