Got a call earlier from the sight manager who has informed me that the sight was broken into last night and loads of stuff was stolen amongst the items stolen where 4 brand new cloches I had just bought Id also bought polytunnel plastic which cost me £60 they pulled that out the box but luckily left it really cheesed off but at least they did not cause any damage.

Scumbags makes me sick -
So sorry for what happened to you.
They make me sick.
You can never relax as there's always something to worry about.
And when your back stops aching,
And your hands begin to harden.
You will find yourself a partner,
In the glory of the garden.

The police where informed but didn't want to know whilst an electric fence sounds good I was thinking a automatic riffle connected to a motion thieving scumbag sensor. The site manager has her suspicions as to the thief / thieves as she had a couple of the local thieving scumbags on the site doing some work one had left under a cloud and the site manager had had words with the lads dad ( Another scrounging workshy thieving scumbag ) the night before. I'm just glad nothing was damaged as I cannot afford to replace anything as my wife has just had an op so is off work meaning she doesn't get paid so we are skint.
Won't be buying anything else from now on

Put that in a letter, and drop it off with the lad's dad. Don't be abusive, just let him know your sadness & anger, and how much work you put into the plot.

You should get a crime reference number though - so it shows up as a crime.
You could also ask for the local crime prevention officer to visit. I'm assuming they still have them in these days of budget cuts.Comment

DO report it. They may not be able to catch or convict anyone, but so many people don't bother, that they often declare that crime figures are going down!
