the arabs cut off the right hand of thieves so they wipe and eat with the same one that would sort them out.

Around here You cannot have any locked cabinets or storage space on your trucks or they will be pried open. I keep my saws under my house in my garage. One night I fell asleep with saws in the pu bed and lost 4 fav saws. They are gonna look under both of my bucket covers periodically. It is easy to say you are gonna get them but if you go check at midnight 2, 3, 4, 5, am, you prob gonna be there at the wrong time. Lots of sleep lost.

Couple of years ago my gm and I caught a doper that was stealing our gas for months and he did 2 years. Took a lot of restraint not to knock him around a little but then we would have been indicted.

in 5 years at the same location the only problems we had were crackheads ran out of gas in front of our shop and tried to syphon from our personal trucks, and a broken ladder left out in the open for all to see near the main roadway

Thats why i operate out of a factory/warehouse as a depot.

Worth the cost for security, peace of mind, separate work & personal life etc.
Truck, chipper, ute, stumper everything is locked indoors. Great that its all out of the weather too.

Even with insurance its the inconvenience that sucks.

Over the years I have had a number of times when I have had a competitor approach me or have heard about an entire truck and chipper that was filled with equipment by the thief being stolen.

You rarely hear about them being found. Probably drive them far away after painting and change ser. numbers and sell the contents.

Hey guys wish we had gun laws like you have in the states i do not think that half the robberies here would take place if we had them. I know what it is like to have stuff stolen as i posted in one of my first posts a few weeks ago i had my Landrover stolen with everything in it. 4 Sthil saws, Sthil motor head with chain saw attachment and hedge trimmer attachment and an extension for same. Allso a Jameson4 pole pruner and saw head. Hi lift jack, hand pruners, hand saws, 2 boxes of tools spanners ect, climbing harness, spikes, wire core flip lines, carabiners, D shackels. an old adjustable pruner, trousers, boots, helmet, and groundies helmets, coats, splitting mall, lashing ropes, ratchet straps x 5, old life line used for occasional lowering, life lines, but to name a few.

Hmm hate to say it but it seems to get more like America in Aus here every day. The crims seem to have more rights then the honist people these days,oh and we are paying to keep them.
Lucky I'm not prim minister I'd bring back Capital punishment, oh what the hell, just shoot the barsteds.
It's well known in this town that if you steal from me things will happen,I do own a chipper you know.
Carn't even give the kids the cane anymore,don't know about you but it did me the world of good.

Drugs, IMO, is the heart of the prob.

I think the worse thing you can do is think the thieves are afraid of you because you are a bad a$$ or will shoot them. There ain't a whole lot of thinking goin on except where/how do we get more drugs when you are addicted. Fear is a day day part of their lives and won't stop them. It is all numbed out.

i hate to burst your bubble but the potsmokers arent the problem. if more people smoked pot im pretty sure the crimerate would go down. smokers lack ambition when stoned. twinkie sales would rise....thats about it.

Unless it's Legal it's still a drug.
You have only see what smoking does to you,even pot.I have had enough people around me die of cancer to know,and if you think pot isn't as bad than it's only yourself your fooling.

Don't think it's the drugs here,although there is a bit.Just all the bluggers us minority of working Australians are supporting.And than they have to steal as well.

gonna have to agree with bigshea. here the meth heads are the worst. it just cooks there minds. a cool movie to see that gives a great understanding on them is "the salton sea" with val kilmer.

but there is no fear and nothing to loose for them.

We've had our fair share of thief’s. The worst one was about four years ago. They broke into our Redcliffe Depot one night & stole our Ford Trader, Dingo and its trailer (with all of the implements). The truck was found by the police burnt out near the Yatala Pie factory. I guess they must have been hungry. It took about six months for the truck to be replaced.
