[SEL] Shed Invasions

[Mark Kennedy]

I am happy to report that local thieves do not apparently value old iron as 
we were the unfortunate victims of a break in to our newly built shed at 
our house under construction,

They must have been pros as 2 sheets of iron were unscrewed at the rear of 
the shed which was not in clear view. They had a good look around, opened 
but passed up on 3 old grease covered socket sets, tried to unsuccessfully 
jimmy open a locked empty tool cupboard. On the plus side there wasn't any 
damage. On the minus side a new and full roll of MIG wire was taken.

The shed is stacked with all my engines and other gear which was apparently 
of no interest. Seems they were after a quick cash turnover looking for 
tools etc with no serial numbers and that it must be too heavy / hard to 
off load tonnes of cast iron at the pub or local Trash 'n' Treasure. To my 
very good fortune!

Anyway, so it has been a weekend of bolting the iron sheets down and 
beefing up the locks. Here's hoping there are no return visits.

So the lesson is - Be prepared, it will happen to you one day and probably 
when you least expect it!

Regards,

Mark
