If you're offered a fence charger & battery...

[catembi]

...please let me know cos it's mine. Yellow charger, red leisure battery, both slightly splattered with black paint from where I was spraying the fence. S Cambs area on the Beds/Cambs/Herts border.

They got a chainsaw from a neighbour's shed which backs onto our field two months ago so it was only a matter of time before they came back. They have kindly broken a rail on the post & rail too. A**eholes. Wish they'd tried while the Rottie was in the field playing with his football.

Barstewards! Go and earn their own money, nothing worse than thieving scum.

Not much to say but offer you a bit of a leg up.

Thank you!

It's just sooooooo frustrating...like everyone else on here who's lost stuff, it's the sense of impotent rage which is worse than losing the property...

We have 4 infrared colour cctv cameras in the yard attached to the house covering the front gate & tackroom etc, so maybe it's time to get one around the back? The man whose chainsaw was stolen was making noises about getting a camera.

We had prowlers over a year ago, so on the advice of the rural police, we got cctv, an alarm in the tackroom, a bigger chain on the front gate & an enormous dog, but it just goes to show that if there's a weakness, the c-words will exploit it.

i share your anger. The a***holes stole mine the other day too. Mines a Wolsey mostiquitoone. They are obviously doing the rounds again in the Cambs area. I did report it to the police.

I know how you feel, I had electric rope stolen from me, worst still I know who took it, was helping them out giving them free livery and they still deny it.

I have an energiser I am more than happy to send to you if it would help it needs a new crocodile clip but that is all.

Scally, that is just so kind of you! Sadly I would just worry in case that one got stolen too. O/h was talking to chainsaw man this eve while I was riding & he said that some travelling friends were knocking on doors a couple of weeks ago. Wish he'd bl**dy said something...the cctv on the yard has over-recorded now, so it's too late to get numberplates etc.

O/h has been busy doing electrics so we can have a nice mains fence instead...nothing to nick...

Well I had an Electric Shepherd pinched last year, it has two drill holes in the base (fat lot of good it did securing it to the fence), along with tape. YO and another livery had theirs pinched too by the **** scumbags. Not ideal as we have a few lamis on the yard. It just disgusts me that people see something and take it, the hassle it causes the owner is totally out of proportion with the ease of thieving. Imagine if we all went round just helping ourselves - civilisation as we know it would break down.

And yes I know "****" is not pc but quite honestly I couldn't care less, as a law abiding, tax paying UK citizen I reserve the right to use it as I see fit :O

I hope you get it back but judging by my experience it's unlikely.

think they are doing the rounds again, 2 of my friends in herts have have their battery fencers adopted in recent weeks

Yes we had 4 energisers stolen from our yard over the winter when the snow was on the ground... All of them the green Rutland ones....

Ours was an Energiser CP500 ... I've been keeping half an eye on ebay, but I expect it will change hands in a pub for £10... What the hell do they do with all these chargers & batteries...?? So with the battery as well, we're down about £200...

I reported to HorseWatch as well. It's so bl**dy annoying. It's not as if you can make a charger any more secure, either. It's a fence charger, so therefore it has to be near the fence as it won't be electrifying much locked up in the tack room...
