    Sorry to hear about your misfortune mate, maybe a covert stakeout from up the road may catch the mongrels red handed.

    Yep. A chippy here had his entire trailer stolen from a jobsite last week. He was away and his apprentice had been using it at the job. Don't know if it didn't get locked up or what but it sounded a bit sus in the news story.

    Bloody thieving bastards who steel things.
    Last week, some scum bag stole my $3 rake from bunnings??? (the small black ones).
    Its only a cheapie but when its missing you think. Oh great. got to get another one before is start work.
    They will steel anything at all if its not bolted down.
    A few weeks ago, they stole the handle off the trailer's hitch. Just snapped the bloody thing off.... Lucky the chain and padlock stopped them from tacking the trailer.
    As Alfred said in The Dark knight... "Some people commit crime for no reason...they just want to see the world burn down!"

    People who steal the tools that another man makes his living with are low down dogs, even if it is a three dollar rake.I remember having a brand new Honda knocked off out of the back of my ute, while I was working, I couldn't even finish the lawn.....farken scumbags

    My plumber neighbour had 30k of tools stolen a few weeks ago in Baulkham Hills. It happened during a night when it rained very heavy. The Police said they target nights like that because the noise of the rain on metal roofs etc, blocks out their sound when breaking in to utes/sheds whatever, and dogs might be kept inside. People and dogs don't hear the noise because of the rain.

    You need one for them to steal that is booby trapped with sugar.....
    Just don't forget yourself or have it borrowed by a neighbour ...
    That happened on sisters farm when they were having petrol pinched by 'passers by'. Neighbour ran out fuel and came and grabbed can (he was welcome to help himself as they were on good friends/neighbours but didn't realize he had picked up the 'spiked' can .....
