Thats terrible.
Here in Ireland it seems that thefts have multiplied ten fold, mostly pikeys but could be anyone.
Quads are a big target as well as any tools/fencing materials or anything of value... even scrap.
Really don't know where it's gonna end, I'd guess its only a matter of time before another pikey gets his head blown off his shoulders like what happened in Mayo a few years ago, at least the law has changed to allow lethal force to protect oneself if required.
