Sorry to hear that Chris. Have you got any more details so that folks might identify them if they are offered for sale?

..and one of our rental mobile homes was broken into, but nothing in there for them to steal luckily, but repairing the damage was not easy.

One of the gennys was on here for sale,brand new, with both single and 3ph outlets, but oddly this has disappeared from the for sale section and as my hard drive destroyed itself recently i have no pics of it now. The other two were chinese site gennys with full length red fuel tanks, one still looked newish, but the other one had a very sun bleached fuel tank.
The strimmer was a yellow 25cc JCB, with an air filter that was tie-wrapped together.
The stihl saw was typically stihl orange, but had blue paint on some bits of it.(just had new crank bearings and piston rings too! damn it!)
The chainsaw had no real odd markings just your typical husqvarna colour, orangy red, and had a bar cover.

The stihl saw should stand out a mile, as i have never seen another all the time we have been here.   :'(

Sorry to hear this, I was told the other day that windy nights are very dangerous, like Full Moons, they give nighttime prowlers a real advantage, so take extra care.

Tivenys seems to be a bit of a hotspot at the moment too.

Way Way too late now, maybe - but not necessarily - and  in case this ever happens again, It will be worth remembering that you have to be a member to post - and your messages, *INCLUDING*, deleted messages can be recovered from your profile area. That means the administrators can access the messages ( and therefore identify the username (possibly more) of the culprit) if they are told very quickly after the event, even if the culprit deletes the message advertising your goods. Having said that, If this culprit has not posted again since, and you have the approximate date of posting, it might be possible to track down who it was by looking on the members list,  and searching all messages posted around that time by (now probably inactive) members by looking in thier profile areas and showing last 25 messages!

What about it admin, can any of you do this and try to catch out someone who by now will surely think he/she has got away with it scot free?   >:(

added later......

Just found out anyone can check this out. Start searching guys. Someone may know who it was once we find the message and username !!!!!

See my earlier links party popper with innards (confetti) removed and replaced with rock salt and shot gun powder, strung across an area you wish to protect with a trip wire or string but make sure you aim the cartridge at the prospective thieving bastard Sorted!!
