Escape Route.......

Overnight on 4/5 May thieves stole property from Shawlands Farm which is just beyond the copse to the east of our field. It seems they used our fields as an escape route to the A22 where they cut our padlock chain.

I had a text message alerting me to the fact that the gate was open at 08:30 this morning (I don't know who from as they did not include their name and I don't recognise the number) so Stuart investigated and discovered the cut link, angle grinder looks likely as the chain is hardened. There are tracks across the fields towards Shawlands. Nothing other than the cut chain link has been touched or tampered with of ours.

Fortunately they cut the last link so there is still enough chain to use with the padlock, just a little bit tighter than before. It needs a bit more care to latch so do give it a good tug before you leave. The Police have been informed and we have a crime number, for what its worth!

It was the 3rd/4th
It looks like they used the route as a way in and out by the Tyre tracks.

It seems the theives targeted a tree surgery company, they took all their hand held power tools, cut off door hinges and smashed up alarm to gain access. They were only in building for 7 mins they cut down hedges and fences across 7 fields to get in and out.

What nice people to share our planet with............................. shame some of the fences were not connected to 415v three phase perhaps?
