Nocturnal visitors 🤬

I'm not defending the tarmaccing mobile community because they can't be trusted at all,but they are an easy get out for the police to not bother investigating. When we got robbed it was the first thing the young Copper said when he got here " there's a camp in xxxxxx and another in xxxxxx ,we won't see any of the stuff again,I'll email you a crime number ". We went investigating by ourselves and it turns out it was a farmer all along and he was a one man crime wave. Don't hear of pikeys taking bottles of Clik and elastrator pliers very often

Folks like that could do with a close encounter with the elasstrator pliers!

Nor are they likely to be behind some of the big stuff getting stolen, tractors, tele handlers and the like are beyond fitting in the back of a tranny van

I think you may be surprised just how deep and far reaching their tentacles can be with organised crime.

They have the volume of foot soldiers to do the dirty worker, only takes a few higher up to shift the kit abroad

Every time I drive past his place I have to talk myself out of just stopping and giving him a hiding. Still don't know what to say or do if I meet him face to face,which will happen one day.

I think that mainly goes in the back of a foreign registered artic.

This could come under same thread as wasters using infa red or night vision on these devices allegedly also to scope premises.

Any RC or Quad Copter Pilots Invading Your Space?

There are stacks of OTHER threads on this topic on this forum and can be moved accordingly. @Bald Rick possibly.

How did you find out it was him?

Cop who recovered my IW trailer described how a lot of this works. Thieves use What Three Words … a lot! They pay junkie low life’s in cash and “ bag of brown” as he described it. They go to spot to be robbed, use WTW to find it, dump anything which may have a tracker , use WTW to find it again. Rest stuff often stashed using WTW for the actual thieves to pick up at their leisure.
Two arrested locally, unknown whether they robbed us, but the thefts continue…..

I understand a telehandler (less than a year old)has just been found that was dumped in woods 3 months ago, no news on our T7 though

If some one in Leeds area is missing an ifor ta510t tri axle with reg written on back door its sat just out side gypsy camp opposite jewish grave yard in east leeds, saw it on my way to ikea... your free to go collect its right near road side, just into entrance to the camp, often see them there, them and horse trailers

Those are the same gypsies that took my power tools - I got a bollocking from PC PC for calling the pikies and then 10 weeks later told no evidence case closed - caught on hi def camera.

They stole my friends chipper and beat him up for trying to stop him.
Police never lifted a finger and then did the same, warned him about "hateful language".

West yorkshire police are an abomination - they will go through your vehicle and check your tyres on impliments that NEVER go on the road - but wont look for evidence after the scum rob you - or you have sheep stolen and killed in the field for Ramadan - thats also a touchy subject in leeds.

Advice - farm as far bloody away from urban centres as you can. - I have a record of 6 months without a visit- Cant even have a mower witout its GPS tracker turning up in Donegal while im hiking in the lake district...................

i've had a few items go missing that didn't seem like the sort of stuff the pikeys would want- the PTO shaft off the tedder in the middle of haymaking while everything around was untouched for instance. I even lost the home made concrete rear weight from the yard which must have been someone driving in with a tractor. One old local came in the middle of harvest asking to "borrow" the main drive belt from my old spares Massey to get out of trouble so I let him take it with him if I could have it back, next time I looked he had removed every belt and useful part he could get off. When I phoned him, he just said "The dealers are so expensive, they wanted £200 just for that drive belt".
Mrs Fred and her neighbouring horse ladies were continually losing electric fencers and we obviously blamed the pikies but it turned out to be one of the liveries who everyone thought was completely straight, I think her boyfriend knew someone who could move them on.

Probably released on bail, maybe charged for appearance " in due course" . Nicking enough to pay meagre fine "if sufficient evidence"..........

This knob has been doing it for years by the sound of it, sometimes minor items,ours was more like ten grands worth. At least eight places in twelve months.

If you want to keep something like a hammer have the biggest mag light torch handy then you have a torch that can double up as a truchan .

I was told to keep a fire extinguisher in the bedroom. Serves a few purposes including putting fires out. But a face full of powder or a whack over the head with the extinguisher are other uses.

 

[Red Fred]

Just as bad as the thieves are the people who knowingly buy stuff from them that they know is stolen. A local farmer was very pleased with himself for buying a cheap generator out of the back of a Transit for cash. His argument was that the pikies had taken enough from him over the years so he might as well have a bit back from them to make up for it.

 

[Pistonbroke]

How did you find out it was him?

Just met him on a narrow road and hour ago and he had to pull in for my tractor and box. I waved.....with my middle finger and mouthed the immortal words " you f#####g c##t ". Made me feel better anyway.
