sorry to hear about it happening again... at least they were disturbed and nothing went this time.


just a thought, but couldn't you get an alarm box with an intermitent flash blue LED and wire it up to a battery.


obviously won't actually do anything alarm wise, but it might deter them if they decide to come back. or ofcourse if there is power in the garage fit an alarm, if buget doesn't allow just the flash box, and a security flood light?


hope they don't come back...


sam

We had one, and some cameras....they shot them!!!!!!!!!

[Ell100]

the flashy alarm box sounds good, camera's arn't really a deterrent all they'll do it stick balaclava's on! What would put you off if you were going to rob the place? Fill the diesel tank with something else, that'll *melon* whatever engine that they put it in, that should stop them bothering you again!

[Ell100]

sorry but LOL at shooting them!

[JohnGordon]

I've already camped out on numerous occasions with the dog and shotgun but unfortunately they always come when your not expecting them! I wouldn't let it scare you I live in the arse hole of lancashire where the bag heads and thieves run wild so it's just the norm here!

.... they would of killed people if they hadnt of moved out of the way..just to get away!

Yep.
Everyone should think carefully about that before going all Charles Bronson. Folk like these have no fear of the law, have less to loose than you and will ALWAYS be willing to go further than you are.
Most folk on here are Honest Joes with family, jobs, lives etc....its a lot to loose. Pikeys are pefectly willing to hurt (even kill if needed) they wont think twice about torching something out of spite, if you *yellow human water* them off, they may well decide to burn your house down.
Its all very well saying to shoot them, but could anyone here actually do that? I very much doubt it, especially as YOU would almost certainly be the one in the dock for it.

Keep what you have hidden, and make it as hard, time-consuming and noisy to get at as you possbly can. With a little luck they will just move to an easier target. Its about the best you can hope for these days.
Locks, chains, barbed wire, block entrances with heavy objects, have floodlights, and sirens, and preferably a big, scary-looking dog.

obviously depends on how much you'd want to spend.. but the best option would be shutters..

OR....


a James bond style laser!



oh... Just thought... you can get those sort of internal shutters... you know like what old style lifts have.

any time

got to get my action somewhere

[Broomer]

Ive got a spaniel i can lend if you wish, it is scared of the dark though.

[mattdc2r]

Seems the police aren't bothered as they're either too scared or too much paperwork. Lets face it, no matter how much you fine them, they're not likely to pay up.

Good luck mate, hope you find a solution to this. I'd not be able to sleep.

I think keeping a good presence is good coming to check up on the area every day, making sure you dont come at set times but at different times of the day and if you dont have the chance or time to be checking up often ask friends to go around if they can when in the area. Try blocking entrances you dont use to deter them.

Hope you can keep them away, their type will doing anything to get money for free.

[alicetheauto]

Need to try to find where they are staying, then go get your stuff back if they DO get in. Be waiting there with the police is a good idea........
