Theft

[nick...]

I thought in the current situation it would be rife.plant theft and site theft seems well up and not heard too much about farm theft yet but expect it soon.talking to a friend last night who supplies oxygen bottles amongst other things and he said he is getting bottles stolen from an approved compound and has now moved all his stock into secure buildings.we wondered what people would do with it coming out at 300 bar without a regulator on the bottle.is industrial oxygen differant to that supplied to hospitals

So is the premise that oxygen cylinders are being stolen by people who want their own supply in case they go down with virus and are denied a ventilator?

What have we come to?

Best not mention that most gliders have oxygen cylinders/regulators in them for flying above 12,000ft in Lee waves then

A very common theft is that of NOx- friends of ours who run a vet practice cannot keep supplies of them as they are routinely broken into and stolen by thieves, they presume they are used/sold for those seeking so-called 'legal' highs. Last time they were broken into they stole every gas cylinder in the place, oxygen and the lot.

Spoke with a police officer from Birmingham today and they are not missing the weekend drunken brawls etc. Shop, office and factory burglaries are up but house burglaries are down. Overall their workload is a lot less than pre lockdown.

Farmer I know posted on FB someone dumped an armchair in his lane. You’d have to go to quite some effort to get it there.

after humping one of those w bottles over a fence and into a car you'd need o2

I was told at BOC that the only difference between medical and industrial oxygen is that the industrial has to be so much purer .

Bet the bloke who dragged it there was lying flat out in it and semi comatose in dreamland when the plod rolled up?

They said on the news yesterday that reported crime was 20% down.

Rather than the much, much rarer occurrence of things being stolen by people who are not thieves...?
