I was woken at 3:00 AM by my youngest boy who said he could see torches and here people in the shed. Our shed ajoins the house. Seeing as this (Stupidly) is where I keep my detectors I was quickly dressed and downstairs post haste. The toe rags had jammed something against the back door and they made an exit through my alley. Two young hoodies. They dropped a box of books, dvds and bits and pieces in the garden and a black and decker power saw i the road. I ain't as quick as I used to be and they got away. Police are currently in my house. They arrived VERY quickly. My freezer is in my shed and the hoodies have emptied it of frozen chicken breasts and stuff like that. They have also taken half opened packets of frozen onions and apples and stuff like that!

But they left behind by metal detecting gear and several hundred pounds of fishing reels and stuff.

Good job I disturbed them.

TWATS............................ >:( >:( >:(
Hope they catch up with the buggars, I know what it's like to be burgled, happened to me and the missus while we were in bed.....................
never caught the BA***RDS tho......................... >:( >:( >:(

wow,   the bliddy sods,  good job the detectors didn't go Jon,  good job your son heard them too,  i hope they catch them and string them up mate,

That's horrible Jon, can't imagine what it's like, don't understand the food bit but move the detectors out they sometimes come back after the first recce! (Stig just beat me to it)

Well done Jon, good to hear that you frightened them away matIs it worth putting up a security light that activates when someone walks down the alley toward the shed?

Hope they get caught for everyone sake.

sorry to hear about that bud bk 2 years ago someone tryed to get in my house..  But back 2 years ago I used to get up in the middld of the nite and get something out of the frige and go back to bed but this nite I got food and sat on the floor next thing I saw was someone climbing on the window I got up opened the backdoor and he ran off but he left his dog behind so I ring the cops they came took one look at the dog and said thanks we know who it is but cant find him 2 days after the cops came back and said they got him................  Next time we wont be so lucky a jon..........

When I lived in Spain we had a spate of burglaries and all the toerags were stealing was food from the fridges and freezers, they were eventually caught and it turns out that the thieves were Romanian gypsies who came to Spain looking for work and not being able to find any jobs and having no money they decided that the cheapest way to eat was to break into peoples apartments and pinch anything they could eat. In fairness to them they never stole anything else....just food.

Sound familiar?

Thats terrible Jonola,  >:( >:( >:( Hope they are caught.

Sorry to hear about the upset and inconvenience caused by the local scrotes.  Increase the security [talk to local crime prevention officer as to how].

The usual pattern is to return within a few days 3/4 to finish off what they missed, or to wait 2 weeks until insurance have paid out and then collect the goods second time round.

in meantime, ask your local neighbourhood watch guy to alert everyone to be on their guard, and to forward any info onto local police. spread the word around and let the scrotes know that you are seeking out info as to who done it.

in meantime bring all valuable stuff into the house and make sure you have recorded all ID numbers of the techie stuff plus taken photos of the eqpt.

take care

Sorry to hear that Jon ,

We bought my 7 yr old a Mountain bike end of march for her birthday, with myself and my wife not working at the momentand it being so close to Chrismas we couldnt really afford it, but you know what its like with kids, you dont want to disappoint them. Last week she came in for lunch and left her bike outside, we got steps out the front and she's not strong enough to carry the bike up the steps. 5 mins later ...it was gone!  Got in the car and looked everywhere..nothing.  She's heartbroken and I'm heartbroken for her.

Good job your boy woke you.Hope they catch the toerags.

Sorry to hear that mate ive been burgled myself and it takes ages to get over it.I still walk in the door and wonder if its going to be carnage.Its horrible and sickening especially when your kids jewellery gets nicked certain things cant be replaced but there is life after death.Thats what it feels like,hope you were insured i wasnt back then.Hope they catch them and string them up.

That sucks jon mate at least you still got your detectors mate ! They should hang em mate lets hope they get food poisoning !The b******S >:(

I am also sorry to hear that news Jon bring back hanging,just as you and the family looking forward to your holidays bloody disgraceful hope they get them......

Thanks for all the kind wishes and advice. My "Shed" isn't really a shed. It is brick built but the door was easily broken through. Have put new locks on it and deadbolts and clasp locks. Cops have fingerprints off the stuff the toerags dropped when I startled them. By the time I'd got through to my alley they were off and I ain't as quick as I was ! I have put out a few feelers and have had a few names back so will be carrying out *AHEM* enquiries. They stole a set of bolt cutters and a few saws and bits and pieces and the freezer food. Dropped a lot of stuff and there was a pile of stuff bagged up ready to carry off.

If any of you know fishing there were three ABU 7500 C syncros and other Abu reels  and Daiwa gear as well. Also lots of power tools. They didn't get any of it. All my stuff and detectors are indoors. Unfortunately my large alsatian was locked up and obviously didn't hear a thing....he is on half rations of Winalot !

Cops say they were too stupid to wear gloves and they have some lovely prints...hope they catch em...before I do....

Cheers again guys and gals for your words.

hi firstly sorry to hear about it and secondly, it only sinks in when it happens to you, and your not reading about some poor other bugger, as mentioned by others more security, and yes they could well plan a return trip for the otherv gear. must have been on somthing to take the food and leave the tackle, hope the little ba-----s get food poisoning, and frost bite    mick

sorry to hear that jon, there are some little f***ers out there!!!! hope they get whats coming to em!!!!  >:(

Sorry to hear about what has happened to you and your family............ >:( >:(


I only hope it happens to those who did it one day and they might know how it feels to have their hard earned stuff nicked.........

Glad you still got your MDing stuff though!!!!!!
