Hi all
I am new to this forum but over the past couple of weeks i have been checking and reading through all of the posts daliy in order to keep myself a bit up to date on whats going on with the issue there seems to be lately with horse thefts.

I was wondering, could anyone give me any information on if anything has happened in staffordshire? i know in the area where i am there has been reported slightings of the REG plates that are stated on this site N253.... and many other sites
and also a man stopping by at stables/yards around the area asking if anyone has any old horse shoes he can send for scrap, but while he is there he is looking over your shoulder and very noticeably checking the place out and asking about the horses he can see.
we have also had a man riding round our yard on a push bike which at first we thought nothing of but with the scare of horse thefts we then realised this is slightly worrying.

i understand that there is a lot of hearsay and some rummors out there but i feel the general jist of things is that there is a risk at the moment and i myself would prefer to know everything there is no know whether it be rummors or true and get myself prepared and keep my horses safe rather than know nothing at all and then on the chance that something did happen to any of my horses -end up wishing i had took more notice!

your help and thougths/comments and information will be gratefully received! i have spoken to the local police but they will not realise any information.
thanks in advance.

Basically as far as im aware there 2 mean looking *easten European* what ever that looks like and there have been many confirmed sightings of them in a van and a land cruiser. However no horses have been stolen!

There have been many text messages and emails going around and these are just rumors!

WE are basically being told to stay vigilant and to keep a look out for anything strange going on. however if these men have been takin pics of horses to sell then why haven't they taken any yet? thats the question.

People really need to stop posting on here about all these txt messages because it's making everyone worry for their horses and it's not even true. only confirmed messages should be posted on here with full details.

Thats just my thoughts!
