Thieving scum....

[Byff]

My lockup where I keep my Jeep has been broken into, bastards nicked my welder genny.

It was positioned right at the back where the Jeep blocked any easy access to it, but they managed to lift it right over the top. In a way, if they managed that, I'd rather not meet them - they must be strong bastards.

Jeeps ok, now got its rotor arm in my pocket just in case.

I'll be on the look out in the second hand shops and the yellow paper.

To me, that sounds suspicious...they went to quite some trouble not to damage the jeep, they may want to come back for it...

nah..it'd be easier to take the jeep first surely?

COULD'VE been nicked to order?

Had that some years ago on our industrial estate. A thief stole an tractor unit and came back a week later to steal a bulk tanker. It took several days before the transport company realised that anything was missing!

I'd have moved the Jeep out of there, but they made such a mess of the door, I couldn't open it any more.

The Jeep's currently on the back of a trailer, so it can't be just driven thru the door - but the rotor arm is in my pocket just in case they try.

BTW, if they had scratched the jeep, I wouldn't have noticed - my mate rolled it a few months ago. This is the one -

"nick it? yeah could do..but where the duck are we going to hide it?..oh well best leave it then"

You wouldn't lose that in the Asda car park would you??

Maybe an idea to paint all of your power tools in the same livery??? :-)

Nobody I know would want to buy a Jeep...let alone steal one

[hedders]

I have to confess, that was not the type of jeep i had in mind..I was thinking grand cherokee or something

I knew thats what you were thinking - hence the picture.

Other than the genny, there's nowt but junk in the lockup. The tiger piece of junk will win me a trophy on Sunday though.

I had a similar thing a few years ago, I had a mk2 XR2 which I parked in a small garage, could just open one door to get out and I had to drive in front ways and nudge the front of the car on a cupboard to get it in length ways ( ie bloody tight ). Any way got in car one morning drove out of garage, got out of car to lock garage and notice some scum bad had nicked the front bumper, to this day I don't know how they got if off, I tried it the next day and no chance.
