few years back had all my tack stolen, luckily they got disturbed and left the bits they had not got to butthey took all the saddles and bridles first.
Police were fab and really helpful, but never see a bit of it again.
One thing i will never have in my tack room again is one of those hanging prong things you clean bridles on, as had cleaned brdles day before and had 5 bridle on there, course they just picked the prongy thing off the celing and walked out with a load of bits and bridle, made life easy for them.
I now have a sliding bolt thing on the tack room, and a false padlock which looks like you have to remove to use the sliding bolt, wastes their time, also the lock on the door is on backwars so the key turns the wrong way, just another small deterrent.
Not sure what else i can tell you or what you want in info

My tack was all in a block of garages opposite my house.
Had had the flip over lock things then a padlock in each side and one drilled into the floor (so three in total) huge enough padlocks that they obviously came prepared and would need darn big bolt cutters.
Neightbour came home at 3 am and see a car parked in the garages and thought it odd, so parked up in their drive and went to go back over but they had gone.
Fingerprint people even came out from the police but nothing came of it.
I still have a good idea who done it.
