Apparently the going rate at a dodgy scrappy around here is about 50 quid. With the replacement quotes coming in including the damage caused I'm down about £20k Time for a glass of wine methinks......

Sorry to hear it. This sort of crime is now in this country. Out of interest did the Police turn up when you told them.........or just issue you with a crime number?

You know how it works with our marvellous police service obviously Richard!
We called it in at 04:30 this morning and a rapid response single WPC showed up to check fingerprints around lunchtime. This after I refused to take the pushed out windows to them so they could dust them there. I did say to her when she arrived she must have just missed them.....
Just a crime number issued- they have no expectations of finding anyone responsible.
The Sweeney would have solved it by now......

It's getting worse all the time, we've had quite a few instances of theft from our yard, despite the electric fence, cameras and 24/7 live surveillance.

Sorry to hear that Paul I wasn't even aware of this type of crime but the criminals seem to always be one step ahead of everyone else and quite a few steps ahead of the Police. Are they sold purely for their scrap value and is this a reasonably new thing or has it been a problem for a while? Is it covered by the insurance Paul or will the company have to carry the burden ?

I wonder if this is related?.....
crouchyuk Moderator Mar 25, 2015 at 10:16am Quote  A band of these ethnic minority- free as a bird- travellers descended on our industrial estate a few months ago- blimey you could see the whole area go into lockdown! Totally unnecessary in my view I don't know why we assume these horrible stereotypes. I did get annoyed at Oscar99 appearing above us daily as they made sure our traveller friends got home ok with their latest "shopping"....

Yes Cheggy there is a group nearby, but then there always is and their activities are already well known and the cops know their methods.
Opinion seems to be that ours were stolen for sale and re-use abroad rather than scrap. We know a bit more now of how they did it and it was pretty slick so apparently we should be grateful they were professionals. I won't go into details for obvious reasons. As with most sites near us we have full 8ft security fencing, 24 hour floodlights and monitored CCTV. We're currently putting additional measures in place which will just mean they target some other poor bugger next time.....
