I caught kids trying to set fire to a stack of bales I was still building, they had a shock and scarpered pretty quick when I came back over the brow of the hill with more bales, unfortunatley I could not see their reg as I was side on to the car parked in the gateway. couple of days later they came back and finished the job. Another member of the team hauling staw was once chased down the street with a kid with a lighter!!

As a student I worked on a farm next to a housing estate, Straw had to be baled directly behind combine, and bales picked up immediately, as we cleared the bales kids were entering the field to light them.
They also took pot shots at the diesel filters on tractors with air rifles, in an attempt to slow down the bale clearance
old prams and beds etc slowed down the combining operation also

Yep, we had the same on the outskirts of Andover. You would go round the field with a baler and flat 8 sledge, and find the bales cut when you got back round.
Finished up burning the straw, always waited until the wind was heading towards the kids housing estate, nice bonus to get a few washing lines. When we had complaints it was satisfying explaining why we couldn't bale it.
I did feel guilty one year when on poor chap had the painters in and they had just painted the wood around his gutters with gloss white, and it finished up with straw ash stuck to it!
No wonder they banned burning....

There was a FLT driver buried under this Cheese warehouse shelving collapse yesterday, he was found alive and well, his FLT cage had protected him from the collapse.

I don't understand how Health and safety allow this sort light warehouse shelving, all it takes is one wrong move with a forklift, and you get the above result.
IMO it should be made out of 5mm box or even H beams.

Quite a few videos of racking collapsing when hit by forklifts, Youd think helth and safety would insist its bolted to roof as well as floor to give some structural strength
