Watch out for White Mercedes Van in the north east fife area.

These people are BAD news, trying to get away with daylight robbery, a local friend was in her husbands office, and looked out the window and here are people loading wood and tools into a van, and when she confronted them they hurled abuse and ran taking all the stuff. 
They also attempted to do three farms over in daylight.

just a warning

anything seen should be reported please

Thank you

They've moved up from the Preterborough area by the sounds of it.  A gang down there were confronted and to get away they drove the van over my friend's spaniel and killed it.

Gay and Brian said it looked like it was deliberate too

Loads of em about, Annie, not just one gang. There's always a guy who comes round here in a white van asking if we want to buy any tools (stolen of course!) There was also those two cheeky sods I caught trying to lift the OH's cement mixer into their truck, and when I went, 'Oi wtf do you think you're doing?' they give the standard answer of, 'Oh is this such and such farm, we were told we could have any scrap metal'. Loads of robberies around here.

You all need a couple of german shepherds.

Or an akita!!  Or just a shotgun maybe?

If they came round here, our GSD who was bred for the police force, would not ask any questions.  As one scrap man said, as he poked around "OMG he has a head the size of a football - is he loose in the yard at night?"  He then beat a hasty retreat, never to be seen again.

Its not right, scum bags like this helping themselves, and it makes you wonder, if they run over a dog, are they capable of doing the same to a person should they get in their way?

We have had a lot of quad bike thefts here.  Thieves have been breaking into outbuildings and then making off across fields, to a waiting trailer.

I have a German here too - she sounds like the Hound of the Baskervilles when she gets going.  Nobody gets past her - mind you the Brits would bark like crazy too.

[sagehen]

Hey same here! We lost a quad bike, and my son was absolutely devastated. They also took a monkey bike and a generator (small one but new). The police came and took the lock (for fingerprints they say  ) but nowt came out of that. They just shrugged and admitted that was nothing they could do about it.
 The weirdest thing is, I mean we get a lot of people coming round to ask for scrap, because the front yard looks like a junkyard anyway (we are always doing work on the house) but the ones who rob us are the natives, whilst the Irish travellers who ask for scrap take great pains to be polite and are the ones who are will knock and enquire, instead of roaming around the place without permission.

I leave the key in the lock most times when I go out ....mainly because its dark when I get back, and it saves fumbling about for the lock to get the key in.  People grumble at me about risking it, but one look through the window, would drive thieves away - apart from nothing worth stealing, the sight of all our dogs barking and jumping up at the window - who in their right mind would turn the key and go in??

I must add we are down a track, a bumpy one at that about a mile long, and then through a gate and over another bumpy track.  To come all that way, and then find nothing worth having would be an immense disappointment to most
