So it would still be known about.I dont believe the horses have been stolen otherwise you would have a crime number the police would give you one if it was genuine and even reported. Ive always had a crime number given to me. Hoax is my guess for attention!!!
Where is the so called owner anyway??????? There are comps in almost everywhere to use.Next excuse!!!!!

You are talking out of your @rse. Come back to us when you have a crimenumber, or stop spreading rumours!
In the mean time, everyone should ALWAYS have security in place to stop their horses being stolen, so I hope everyone does.

I totally age Flameshead. What gets me is: These people claim horses have been stolen,but have no proof whatsoever NOT EVEN A CRIME Number.
Everytime you report a crime to the police (as small/big as it may be) they give you a crime number. I think theyre scamongering and trying to get attention!!!

I guess not every single horse owner in the country must come on the horse and hound forum!!!!! I was in Abergavenny yesterday - lots of posters about for the stolen horse if you still don't believe she was stolen then give the Auctioneers from Abergavenny Market a ring, they had a poster asking for info in their window with all the details on I'm sure they will pass on any info you may need.

Be careful putting a post like that on here you will get accused of scaremongering or attention seeking. Next they will accuse the auctioneers of trying to drum up business. I'm not in the habit of talking out of my a*** but it seems rather a lot on here are.

Think yourself lucky I just pressed the wrong button as I've just written a very long reply to this.
In short: If someone stole my Puzzle (through every single barrier we have to stop them), I would raise hell to get her back again. I would be posting on every website, ringing every saddlery, ringing every yard, every vet. Are you genuinely telling me that the owner of this mare is sat at home thinking, "I am so distressed that .... has been stolen. I know that there are the website forum things, however, I'm not a member, so I wont post on there. Oh pants". ?!?!?! I would join EVERY SINGLE DAMN FORUM until the whole WORLD knew about it, whether I was a member or not!!!!!
And yet, you're still posting without a crime number......!

If these horses have been stolen, and I hope its just a rumour, there is a website called 'Its been nicked' that you can put the animals on. There are a few horses on there at the moment, items of tack etc. You do need a crime number in order to post on there (and it took me 2 weeks of pestering to get one for my dog), but I shall certainly check on there before making any future pre-loved purchases.

Even if you're a horse owner not on the internet, you'd report the theft to the Police wouldn't you?
Do the Police then automatically report horse thefts to the local Horsewatch? Or is it upto the owner of the horse to do it? As if it's down to the owner, a lot or people don't know Horse Watch exists, let alone NED, HHO forum, etc.

Unfortunately Horsewatch is not UK wide and even if a force does have Horsewatch information does not always get out quickly enough.
I and others spend far too much time trying to get Crime Numbers, pictures and sending out copies of Stolen Horse Register form and still some stolen horses do not get into the ''system''
Some owners do not want Police involved for whatever reason--they often just put out an advert
Horsewatch is likely to move away from SHR towards NED, but many horses, particularly imports are not on NED

If the theft of a horse is reported to the police then a crime number is created. It is then circulated immediately to Horsewatch and the details circulated to all the county horse watch co-ordinators.

This is a old thread.Why bring it up again????? Are you trying to cause hysteria?

Because the OP wants it to be brought back up. Not to worry, I'm on the case, and if she thinks she can slip back in un-noticed, she is wrong.

Well said. As said police ALWAYS give\ crime ref numbers.In Nov when someone let my two out and police phoned me with ref crime number.
If horses were stolen from Wales how come we who now live in Wales havent heard a thing!!!
