        Heard tell of a couple of tea leaves at a nearby allotment who went on a nicking spree and took tools from a shed owned by a local traveller family. It seems that when the lads get out of hospital, they've promised not to do it again

        If it ain't broke, don't fix it and if you ain't going to eat it, don't kill it

          It happened at ours a while ago! The council supplied a new lock and forty keys. Funds were low in the association and there was no record of who had keys anyway so the 'comittee' decided to charge every allotment holder £10 for a key..........returnable if they gave up there allotment!

            Were fairly new to our allotment and were dissapointed when our water butt was stolen... noticed someone on a plot near by that seems to have a fetish for them and has about 15! Mmmmm well i've learnt my lesson and will be marking anything else i get with big numbers!

              Hi all,

              Well I had a good look around the allotments and my bushes are no where to be seen but I did talk to as many people as I could about it. My allotment is right near the entrance which makes it an easy target, especially as so many allotment holders don't shut the gate despite the signs asking them to.

              But I'm not going to let it get me down, despite being ready to take up arms and lay traps last week, I am much calmer now!

                  Hi,

                  Just wanted to add a nice ending to this thread. I went to my allotment tonight to find two potted hosta plants left inside my allotment gate. Isn't that nice? I have no idea who left them but I appreciate it!

                    Probably the thief feeling guilty!

                        Sorry to hear about your loss. I'm told by the elders at my allotment that you become immune to thefts of your plots. can't imagine that

                            Yes Bernie, there's a hosta them...
