Oh no, not two of yours too :(

I agree these are much too organised to be amateurs. It had to be well planned as it was so neatly done with nothing left behind but a screw from the 110 front indicator. Fortunately we slept through it but they must have been quiet as no one heard them at all! I dread to think what would have happened if my husband had woke up and caught them in the 'act' and gone outside. Not only would he have been out numbered but they had moved my husbands pick axe from near the wood shead to where the 110 was parked!!

SOCO came out and found 3 different footprints and she told use the thieves were wearing Nike Air, Lacoste and Addidas trainers.......Hmmm not really sure that helped with the pain of our loss. I still look out the kitchen window expecting to see them both parked outside :(

With ours, in hindsight they'd been sneaking around the farm at night for couple of days before hand checking things out. the land rovers were normally parked right outside the house but on that particular night i'd left them both out of the way at the top of the yard because we had a friend visiting and i wanted to leave room in the drive.

One thing i will say, be careful with locking the house up etc over the next few weeks, a couple of weeks after mine were stolen i came back to the house and disturbed some fecker inside robbing the place. He was running out the back door as i was going in through the front. I chased the cu*t about half a mile down the road but he had a car waiting for him, I got the number, the police knew whose car it was but they never got them.

I don't know for sure it was linked but it was a bit of a coincidence, i wondered if the scum who were casing the place to steal the landrovers thought it might be worth coming back for another go. I don't want to alarm you or anything but do be on your guard just in case.

Thank you for telling me that, we have been extra vigilant with security and both of us have been waking up frequently throughout the night and looking out the windows.

I hope they didn't get anything from you on their second visit, it was very brave of you to chase after them, i think i would just lock myself in the house.

I do feel really uncomfortable now when both of us are away from the house and worry that they have eyed up other things of ours that they might want to come back for. Really hope this isn't the case though :(

no they didn't get anything, it was only by chance i went back to the house to get something, i was in the kitchen and i heard someone running down the stairs, if he hadn't of panicked and run i'd not have realised he was there and gone back outside.

I wasn't particularly brave, just very ****ed off, i chased him a fair old way but he was wearing reebocks and i was in steel toe cap wellys, plus he had good 20 years on me as well, in the end i was almost glad he got in the car as if i'd chased him much further it would have been an oxygen job.

He didn't sound too professional in my opinion. Most would have kept quiet till you had gone back out again, which was fortunate for you as the more professional burgulars always carry some sort of weapon with them.

I know i shouldn't laugh but the image of you running after a young lad in Reeboks, in a pair of steel toecap wellies conjures up an image of Jimmy Cricket! ... Sorry:D

I think in cases like this adrenaline over rules common sense and the instinct of protecting your own takes over.

Our next door neighbours had a 'visit' last night at approx 01.15. The thieves took £100 worth of parafin! It was exactly 1 week since the 'visit' we had, when they took our 110 & 90. Coincidence?
