I can't think what else you would call them.
Took all the HID spotlights from a new New Holland combine in the blairgowrie area, why, I have no idea. Cut the cables so they managed to get the plugs as well so now we need a new loom, f**king barstewards. The police know and obviously someone knows what thy are after. They won't get caught for that but maybe t will prevent other thefts.

For that kind of thing they must know you (which is even more annoying)

Yes and if I find out who it is they will find out my feelings on the matter!
At least they didn't steal the batteries! I'll probably get there today and they'll be gone as well.

Have you been working close to residential houses late at night, could be retaliation for disrupting someones sleep?

No, for the last few days we either been away from houses or not going that late. And I'm sure the locals would just phone the office instead, most of them won't have done any manual work in their lives so wouldn't know how to work a spanner.

More likely a pikey double cab needing a few extra lights.
