thank goodness Dolly came back and managed to dodge all the traffic.
 
omg so glad you have her back unhurt!

If she took her up the highstreet she may have been caught by cctv...?

My chin is on the floor! Just so thankful all ended OK and your horse is safe. But what a strange person that woman must have been, drunken prank or otherwise. It would be so worth the police giving the incident some attention and publicity as people driving through Weston or living there would be bound to have seen her and someone may know who it is. The late rush hour traffic through Weston is not nice! She needs to be stopped from doing that sort of thing again as it could be a very nasty accident waiting to happen.
 
Holy cr@p on a cracker

I am so glad to hear she found her way home safe and sound, it doesn't bare thinking about how badly things could have ended. As horrible (and weird) as it is, thank god it wasn't a pro thief that took her but even so it is scary that people will steal things in daylight with people on the yard

Again I am glad she is home safe and sound

How weird.......

I'd get some padlocks quickly, if she is a nutter she could be back........... not wishing to worry you but worth taking some precautions.
 
How strange.

There was odd things happening at a yard near me, always of a night, nothing harmed or stolen but things like a horses main had been plated. The yard has crap security, the police investigated and thought it was some sort of pagen ritual.
 
OMG

Thanks heavens Dolly had the sense to know where she was and head home. Glad to hear she is none the worse for her adventures too.

((hugs)) for you after such a a scare
 
How bizarre. I can't believe that no-one including the police doesn't know who this woman is? You don't get that many alcoholic nutters in the community without anyone noticing. It sounds like she may have had horses herself in the past. That would be a useful trail to follow.

Never mind about fingerprints your best hope of linking an offender to this is DNA taken off the rim of those cans.

Ring your local force and make a complaint to the Duty Inspector that you are not having your crime taken seriously and you will complain higher if you are not;

1) allocated a crime number for burglary (not theft) asap
2) given the name of the 'officer in the case' for this crime
3) have the can preserved and submitted to CIS/SOCO for likely DNA and / or fingerprints.
4) have CIS/ SOCO visit the yard for any other evidence.

Make a fuss and don't let them fob you off it is very likely a suspect will be identified from those cans.

Good luck and get yourself a big dog !!
 
Hey wonkey - sadly there is no chance of that happening. It costs megabucks to DNA test and the police wouldn't waste their budget on an theft which in the end was recovered anyway. Fingerprints are the best bet.

Really though, the police just aren't interested, full stop. My dentist was telling me recently how his brand-new lorry got pinched, almost certainly having been followed home from a show. It was worth way over £100K and the police have done precisely nothing about it. It is just an insurance matter as far as they are concerned.
 
Holy sh!t! Can I ask two questions - is she freezemarked (just nosey

) and what is that thing with the horseshoe on the lightswitch all about?

So glad she is back safe and sound. A very lucky horse if you ask me.
 
OMG how bizarre and frightening. I read that in disbelief thinking it must be a hoax or something as it just all sounded so strange, headcollars left in a heap and the horse shoe on a light switch - was it one of your shoes or did the nutter bring it with her?

Glad Dolly is okay and none the worse for her experiences
 
It's a private yard, just mine and my sister's horses there. We can't lock the main gate as there is a right of way down the drive for the farm above us. We are now going to put secruity fencing up around the yard. We've lived there 10 years and never had a problem before.

Brighteyes - she's not freezemarked - but they never took her rugs off - so wouldn't have mattered if she had been.

I've no idea why anyone would balance a horseshoe on a light switch - just bizarre. There was also a cats collar that she put on the hosepipe.

Police are being useless. They still haven't assigned anyone to the case, don't think they will as they said that as we got her back they can't see the problem. We did point out that it was only pure luck that she hadn't run into a car and caused a fatality. They do have a nutter in the area who took a horse and then let it run loose thru Bath. Nothing stopping her doing it to another horse.
