Makes mi blood boil, that does Thy're the sort that nick brass fittings from the preserved railways depriving them of a few hundred quid's worth of tooled parts to be melted down for peanuts.

Fingers crossed the insurance guy will come good. Don't forget that Blue Pullman set you had. And the live steam Mallard

Cheers mate

Just a Quick up date,police run me this morning to say they may have recoverd my locos.
At 6am this morning they raided a flat not to far from me,its was nothing to do with my
shed been broke into,it was to do with drugs.
When theygot in they found alot of stolen goods,but also some railway stuff.
I have been asked to go down to police station this morning to see if they are mine
so all been well i may still get my locos back.
Mick

Sounds really promising
Great news, keep us up to date!

Its great to hear they found Most of you stock, its also a shame to hear some of it has been passed on already

This is something for all to take onboard, seprate insurance is worth getting. I found my home insurance didn't cover all the layout and stock, infact only £1000 worth. When it was priced up it was near £20k. they took in to account the stock, track, buildings, the few lights and the time taken to build. Thiefs wont take all the layout, but it covers the layout for if the worst case should happen, a fire. You would be suprised how much your layout is worth when you start adding the odd £1 hear and there.

Just caught up with the thread Mick - I hope its your stock and they're undamaged.

Well lads been to cop shop,and the good news is ive got all the locos back but 2.
So im abit happyer than i was,when i was coming out of the cop shop this copper

Once again thanks to all on forum Mick

They are all scum. My I suggest that you wire your shed to a nearby electricity pylon and wait to see if it happens again. If it does find a comfy chair, a good drink and watch them fry. B~~~~~ds.

Hi Mick !!

What great news !!! I'm really glad for you. Shame about the 2 locomotives.

Best to stay well clear of the T***S. They will get their comeupants eventually. Every dog has his day, as the saying goes.

My Very Best Regards

BILL.

[MrT]

That's great news Mick - am pleased for you.

[mumbles]

Good to here Mick. I know that determined thieves will get in anywhere so no amount of security is enough sometimes. Hopefully you were able to identify where and how they got in and are able to shore it up now.
I have got an alarm that I intend to fit in my garage and a dog that likes to bark. Surprisingly any dog that barks is enough to deter most thieves, or so the police like to tell people

Once again, good to here the loco's returned to the rightful owner, shame about that Blue Deltic and the Falcon though

Glad to hear that you got most of the stock back.

[TerryB]

Good news Mick,shame about the two locos you've lost though .........it maybe a good idea to stop leaving your stock in the shed.Get a good alarm on the shed and some secure locks,or better still [as mumbles sez ...."a dog wot likes to bark"] ...........if my experience with drug addicts is anything to go on ........they could be back [they never learn,and they dont really care about the punishment of being caught,once the craving gets hold,they'll sell their own souls & mothers for the price of a fix].

More pics now .............with some locos in them
best regards
Terry

[santene]

ye some pics with stock also from past experiance they broke into my dads shop i suppose theyll take anything and run my dad got the till, some paintbrushes from the nail bar??? and some worthless plastic jewlery (kiddie toy things) oh ye and a chair??? what happened in the end was we got the paint brushes back and the theives managed to burn open the till (was padlocked) to see whats in and ended up burning £300

As Bill said, "Best to stay well clear of the T***S. They will get their comeupants eventually. Every dog has his day, as the saying goes." As will all cases, the people how take revenge or law in there own hands, end up wrost off.
