Break-in at work
Discussion
Due to being too wound up to sleep (which hardly makes a change), I thought I'd have a bit of a moan, courtesy of some very kind pikies (I don't care if that's not PC anymore).
Granted, we don't have the most secure offices and we are based in the sticks, but we also are obviously not some huge multi-national who keep tens of thousands of pounds in cash. Luckily they didn't touch any storage units (for once) but all the bank accounts have got to be stopped which is too much of a pain to even think about at the moment.
The rozzers were rather good with the whole thing, and forensics will be doing their thing tomorrow morning, but it would be nice to hear of any experiences people have had like this where it actually came to a good conclusion?

Guaranteed pikies, some of them even have the guts (read stupidity) to come down here to have a mope around in the day. The yard we are based on used to be a foundry, and many of our tenants are either fabricators or builders, so it's like supermarket sweep for them
Move your offices next door to the local tax man. The tax man is like Kryptonite to a Pikey.10 Pence Short said:

They broke into ground next to my college, its abondend so not really a big deal. But I then seen they had started cutting down trees and had left them hanging over the pavement. They also had some rather tasty motors, a RS4 an 58 plate mondeo and a mitsubishi warrior. Probably never paid a penny in tax between them aswell. They hsve left now and the area is a mess. They have just dumped rubbish and big gas canistars all over the place.
A convoy of 3 tasty vehicles towing caravans of the type you describe pulled up in a layby near here.As I walked past I noted they didn't even bother going to the trouble of displaying anything that might resmble a tax disc.I remember when they at least had the decency to stick a Guinness label on the screen.

It's about time that in this day and age pikeys were outlawed.
They bring nothing to society except inconvenince, massive cost, hassle and crime.
Unfortunately that would probably be a "race hate crime" and against their human rights etc causing us to give them more (tax- free natch) free money.They bring nothing to society except inconvenince, massive cost, hassle and crime.

Just how does that work in these days of ANPR? Are they all on false plates or something? I (stupidly) assume they are insured and taxed yet they are of "no fixed abode" - how?tonyvid said:

I (stupidly) assume they are insured and taxed yet they are of "no fixed abode" - how?...but I guess if you are of 'no fixed abode' there is no address for the fine to be sent to, likewise no address for the vehicle to be insured at. bunch of r soles!
I doubt they'll be back, it's quite obvious there is nothing in the office/showrooms that they would want to take. Saying that though, they did manage to LIFT a solid cast iron safe out of my office, which weighs the best part of a 1/4 tonne, after breaking open another one and not finding much apart from the petty cash tin. I would love to see the disappointment on their faces when they looked through the other safe, if they managed to open it, only to find business documents for my uncle's company that went into liquidation a year ago 
Still, I think we got off pretty lightly this time - all the showrooms were untouched, all customer orders, keys, invoice books and hard copies of the accounts are all intact
Just got the joys of sorting the insurance now.
