Scumbags everywhere

[grog]

just low life aresholes Lawrie. dont know if this applies but what we did. at my golf club they were stealing carts, damaging greens, put a few in dams. just wrecking whole place. our plan was to make it known in town our 200 plus members werent happy. posters up, let every shop keeper know to pass it on. one guy, viet vet, we made out he was camping on course friday/sat. nights with a weapon. high power rifle we said. word spread. one of the kids freaked out, dobbed his mate, soil on his 4wd tested to golf club. arrested n charged. problem solved. spread the word mate, any story works, two sons are navy seals, bro. in law is a detective. you have 800 plus bikie mates, us, on the lookout. scare the hell out of them. might work. i hope it does.

Sounds while the "Both of them" are busy you are working the case quite well.  You got some good leads to follow up on. I hope you get your property back and that the scum goes away for a while.

I've seen way too many CCTV footage clips like this one over the last 18 months

I'm gutted for you @lawrie

If you like I can share the info on a couple of stolen bike groups I'm a member of on Facebook.
Are you on Facebook?
What area was the quad stolen from? Was it road registered, ie..Reg No?

Filthy little shits, hope they die in extreme pain.  So sorry for your loss Lawrie, hope you get it back in one piece.

@lawrie

I've put my neck on the block here and posted it on two stolen bike sites for you...It'll go all around the country very fast now.
If you get any updates, could you let me know please

If you want to inbox me your contact number so that if anything does turn up I can get hold of you quickly.

PS. Just watched the CCTV footage again...The second scrote to enter your property (with the torch) has got a gammy leg!! Should be easy enough to ID if spotted out and about!!

And he's wearing glasses Froudy, you see the reflection / glare in a couple of frames at the beginning, before they go out of shot to the quad.

Few Quad bikes have been stolen around here lately, and I've read of others going elsewhere seems there must be a market somewhere for them - but dammed if I know where

This KTM was stolen from Goldthorpe very recently too.
It's very close to you Lawrie..Could be connected?

[lawrie]

WOW!
You guys are an observant lot aren't you, you saw things I missed, but also, upon watching more times, I get the impression that they're young-uns by the way they run off, not a 'mature' sort of gait!!
Spent some time cruising the dodgey-areas yesterday, & the wifes saying, 'he looks suspicious', trouble is, she must have said it 20 times down every street!!
Annoyingly, after 2 years of almost zero snow, last week there was about 6" & instead of 4hs shoveling I  cleared it in 10 mins, so my 'home-made' plough worked well & it looks like I get to keep the shovel!!
Managed to repair the gates yesterday, & realized that even when closed they can be forced due to leverage, (each leaf is 10 foot, 20ft wide opening ), so I made & welded-on brackets where they meet & now physically fit a large bugger-off padlock,the procedure now is, walk down the drive, remove padlock, walk back up drive, go indoors, look out the window, press button, ho hum.
Stupidly, loosing the quad is the one thing i'm not too worried about (apart from the 2 plus grand ) I don't like the things & only got one for a project & to learn all about them, I would definitely have one if I lived out in the sticks however.

Absolutely, connected, the bastards are all around us.

[froudy]

I've got it on a couple of FB stolen bike sites for you @lawrie

We'll see if it brings any info or sightings up.

[Sweaty]

Sorry to hear the news of what these Scumbags have done Lawrie & hope it ends well (maybe with 3 youngsters found with broken arms & legs) and a returned quad.

Hi Lawrie,

I hope you get it back and may the scumbags earn a trade in prison so that they can restore their own gear.

Cheers,
Rick

Thanks mate, I didn't know there were such sites!!
All these youngsters seem to go around with there faces in mobiles, I even thought of somehow going on them & mentioning that a few hundred quids in it if 3 names were discretely given!!
But not being phone savvy, I don't know what sites they use to jabber to each other!!

[froudy]

Instagram is one of their favourites Lawrie.
The Bristol gang brag on there all the time. However, since we got on their case they've backed off now and shut a lot of their accounts down. In a way a shame as they were a good source of intelligence for us.
If you're on Facebook give me your name and I'll send you some of the links to sites that I've put your quad on...
