Burgled again

[allotmentlady]

Well last thursday, thieves ransacked the allotments, breaking into sheds, wrenching off locks and padlocks, smashing gates...........our sheds were a mess, they had rifled through, throwing everything on the floor, smashing glass jars etc.........they stole my tools that were given to me by my kids....took the petrol cans and then threw tools etc all over the plot. I have not got the heart to tell gordon, the old chap I share my plot with, the truth as with his health it might finish him off. They even stole his old coat. I feel anger towards whoever dunnit but moreso invaded.

Thats dreadful, and for they sake of what? wrecking a few sheds? a few tools to sell where and for how much?

is there no security fence at your lotties?

I feel badly for you.

noi security at all, council wont provide it and the local allotment society spend their days fighting to have chickens on the site than fighting a worthwhile cause like security!!!

One old lady was heartbroken, they had smashed her gate and she feels like giving up.

well i find it ridiculous that they want to fight for having chickens on an unsecure site!!!

seems some peoples priorities are a little skewed to say the least.

[allotmentlady]

well theres no telling them..........they seem to live on another planet.

You wonder what sort of mindset these vandals have at times.
Just shocking.

[happybunny]

Thats Terrible

Hope you can get it back in shape soon

If there were chooks on site and they were attacked, you'd get a lot more action.

So sorry, been victim of vandalism too, and it sucks. ((hug)) for you and gordon

[firstimer1]

how awful for you x

[maytreefrannie]

Sorry to hear about the vandalism, Allotment Lady.

I'm so sorry to hear about the vandalism, you must be feeling gutted, I know I would be. Has your local paper been and done a piece on it? Sometimes if your local rag does a bit, then local businesses might offer to sponser something like security. Maybe you could approach a local store like B&Q or something like that and ask them for help in return for free publicity for their support.

We too were victims on a previous site...and so we moved. Too much hard work involved to let it go to waste
(we did stick it out for 3 yrs though)

Sorry to hear your news...my sympathies are with you all xx

[allotmentlady]

local paper is doing an article on it but i doubt anything will happen. Thieves struck earlier this year too but didnt get anything,,,,..........i just sit ere wondering if they have been back, but i cannot go up there everyday.

ah bless.

Sorry to hear about your theft. We have a gate at our site but its a low one and easy to climb over.
