Theft of energiser...they came back :(

[jgmbng]

Some of you may have read about the theft of my energiser and battery.
They came back and emptied the tack room

No saddles as one is in a saddle safe...one is in the house. However they did get :-
Bridles....head collars....leather riding boots x 2....medication...supplements.....coats....first aid stuff...hats....just everything else you would have in a tack room ( £1000 worth easily)

They kindly left the food and rugs but took my husbands mountain bike (£2500) which was anchored to the floor in a storage area behind stables.

Quad and trailer not taken but judging by the state of the room they have looked in every crevice for the key.

Oh God I'm so sorry. What total and utter b*stards.

 

[Haniki]

How awful for you, I'm so sorry.

 

[3OldPonies]

Sorry to read that the bar stewards came back again and cleaned you out. They really are scumbags.

Sending big hugs and sympathy. Finding something like this has happened is my worst nightmare.

 

[JFTDWS]

I sympathise. They really are scum.

 

[acorn92x]

I'm so sorry heart goes out to you. There really are some beyond awful people out there. I'd get yourself on eBay and to any local tack sales and get hunting for your stuff as it could well turn up there. Is there anything distinctive on them that would make them identifiable as yours?

 

[FairyLights]

how absolutely bl&&£y awful.

 

[Juni141]

God poor you, what a violation of your space too, absolute b*st*rds! Time for some very big, very scary (looking at least) dogs maybe??

 

[Goldenstar]

Awful , how about a pair of tack room dogs that's what my trainers has .

 

[popsdosh]

Be wary they will be back for the quad!

 

[Kezzabell2]

How sad. I have a couple of cob sized head collars you can have

 

[FairyLights]

hope you've removed the quad and trailer op. also hope thei insurance will pay up for your tack and stuff.

 

[jgmbng]

Kezzabell 2 what a lovely offer but I do luckily have others elsewhere. The car will now be parked across the gates so quad cannot be driven out

 

[Landcruiser]

It makes my blood boil to hear things like this. Where are you, OP? Is your property isolated? What do the police say? Can they fingerprint???

 

[fburton]

Dreadful, just dreadful. :mad3:

 

[crabbymare]

Please get the quad away from there as a car across a gateway will not stop them and if they did not find a key they will simply come cack with tools to break in they really are "nasty people" you can insert something stronger that would be banned

 

[Sugarplum Furry]

That's absolutely awful. Beyond awful!! What utter ***kers. What area are you in? Is there anything that was stolen that stands out enough that we could keep an eye out for at tack sales, car boots etc? The mountain bike must have some sort of ID on it. Please say if we can help in any way.

 

[Nightmare before Christmas]

People keep breaking in round me!

 

[jgmbng]

I'm in Lancashire. We are about 1\4 mile from a main road but we have lived in the area all my life and did not know this house existed until we saw it for sale. Its tucked away and the lane terminates at a farm 50 metres past the stables.
Police have been and taken a spray bottle of sole cleanse (for fingerprints) that the thieves had used for something ?!
Insurance informed but because the tack room stuff wasn't secured I'm not sure where we stand.
I'm sure the bike will be covered though.

 

[Dancing_Diva]

I'm so sorry to hear this, there are some right scum out there!! Def move the quad if possible.

We had a quad that was kept in a huge barn on our yard, our yard was set down behind some houses in a dul-de sac.. They cut the gate off the hinges next to one of the houses that our drive way went down the side of, went down the drive pulled the fencing down next to the second gate (horse was in the field luckily was fine) broke into the barn through the side door opened the main door pushed the quad out shut the door behindt themselves!! then pushed the quad up through the housing estate and was gone!

So if they really want it they'll get it sadly

 

[LittleRooketRider]

How awful! Thinking of you OP.

 

[russianhorse]

How awful - I'm sorry to hear that they've wiped you put again

F#@*&$! Thieving b@$twards

 

[aintgotnohay]

get some ctv set up on the yard or wherever possible.
get a good guard dog or some geese.
lock the quad up or move it.

op they will be back guaranteed they see it as an easy target.

 

[Tobiano]

Words fail. So sorry OP.

 

[Brummyrat]

So sorry to hear this, what utterly vile people. Let us know if there's anything you need, Im sure some of us have stuff we don't use....if it helps xxx

 

[canteron]

Time to paint the quad bike pink, maybe a few sparkle hearts on it as well, not so easy to sell on!

 

[Moggy in Manolos]

So sorry to read this, just awful, I cannot imagine. It makes me so angry that there are people in this world that think they have the right to steal from others

Please check out www.smartwater.com to identify your possessions in the event of them being stolen and then recovered.
Smartwater contains particles with a unique code that identifies the owner. Once someone has handled the item(s) then they are permanently marked with Smartwater so at a later date if they are ever scanned they can be identified have being in contact with the items. The items themselves are also marked with Smartwater so if they are recovered then the owner can be identified and the stolen items returned to them.
In many cases goods are recovered but the true owner can not be identified so they are never re-united with their property.
Also make sure that your horses are freezemarked on their shoulder so that they can be identified by anyone and also when they are being ridden. Freezemarking is far better to micro-chipping as anyone can read a freezemark.
WARNING! In many cases burglars will return after a few weeks knowing that the owners have replaced the stolen items with new items and steel them again.

 

[Highlands]

Feel for you a lot, my friend had saddles nicked from a seriously off the beaten track house...I suppose sadly being well hidden has advantages and disadvantages. Defo CCTV

 

[Evie91]

So sorry to hear they have been back. Must be my optimistic streak but read the title and thought your energiser had been returned ( read too many fairy stories as a child), only to read they've wiped you out!
Hope insurance covers most of it.
