Robbed again

This time the miserable bastards nicked my Honda tractor lawnmower 14
out of my 24 solar power system batteries, and numerous tools and
such.

I spent today chatting with the police and packing up what was left of
the items of value to bring back to town. Henceforth Funkytown will
be a barren caravan and couple of relatively dark and empty sheds.


BTH

 

Shit.

Moike

 

Effing mongrels !!!


Onya bike...

Bastards! Do you think it was a return visit or a whole new set of bastards?

betty

 

There are ways but you took the sensible option , shame though

 

Dog sniff

 

Bad news, buddy. Sorry to hear it happening again.

Kim

 

That sucks BT


G-S

 

Sorry to hear the bad news. They've stolen two things you will have
to replace. Make sure you go all over the others with a permanent
marker pen to reduce their resale value. Got to protect your assets.

BTW - has anyone here had experience using PIR-activated security
cameras? I saw one in the Dick Smith catalog for about $150. It's
battery powered (no external wiring), motion activated, and saves
images onto an SD card. Don't know anything else about it. I was
toying with the idea of getting one (no electricity where I keep my
bike) but the thing that's holding me back is that it comes from Dick
Smith. Are they any use?

 

Dunno about their usefulness but as a general rule of thumb, check out
the jaycar catalogue before buying anything from Dick Smith, they'll
usually have it cheaper and in stock...

JL
(i think they do mail order as well if you don't have one in your
location)

 

Bummer - just heard from my supplier that PV panels will cost about 30%
more, starting next year - due to demand and AUD$.

Right now, locally made BP panels are cheaper than anything imported.

Maybe I'd better get my panels engraved, or something.

 

Contact either veelock.com ( an Ozzie company) or averfocus.com.au
local to you for such equipment

 

To be honest, having the storage inside the camera is a bit iffy.
Someone can just steal that and probably fit it under the pillion seat
... and if they find an SD card in it's that's probably going to be worth
as much as the camera (if not more, as it has 'their' evidence on it..)

 

It's battery powered (no external wiring), motion activated, and saves

What stops them stealing the camera along with the SD card?

 

The hidden camera under a rock.

sorry to hear about the thefts BT may the crims lode their nads in a
horrible accident.

 

Bugger. I'm not sure what use the cops will be though - the only time I
ever heard from them when the GPX was nicked was when I made the report!

Maybe you should consider leaving a few things that seem valuable, but
are in fact booby-trapped in some way? That'll teach the bastards a
lesson they wont soon forget.

 

for the police report, insurance companies usually require one

and you in court up to your eyeballs in lawyers...
not staying that's right, just the way it is


sad stuff BT, its not so much the loss of things sometimes but the
feeling of being violated and the distaste of having some prick
pinching your stuff that you have worked hard for..

mh
(why do a have a feeling Clem is going to have a field day with this
post?)

 

Bugga. Hoping karma is working overtime.

 

No, you just have to be careful in what you do and how you rig it up.

If nothing else, you've always got the fall back "but officer, it wasn't
like that last time I was here - some bastard criminal must have
boobytrapped it as a 'surprise' for me, and then this bastard criminal
must have come along and copped it instead. Oh my, I am so sorry for
what has happened to him..."

Besides which, if we can't get the bastards for real, at least you can
grant us the privilege of getting them in our dreams!

 

Sorry to hear, BT, hope karma bites em in the bum for you.

cheers
