Allotment shed / greenhouse broke into again


Recommended Posts

Last night my allotment was broken into again! Really pissed off. They pinched a load of hand tools, worth nothing really, but they then smashed the place up, knocking all my potted plants to the floor. My turnips and cabbages were all coming through nicely and the lot is now ruined!

Police came round but dont hold much hope of catching them.

on my grandads allotment, we built the shed so the wooden floor would lift up so he could keep his tools under it "and a bottle of wisky for a cold day"

 

you could try setting one of those trip wire alarms where the knock the wire/bit of string and it fires a blank cartridge there only about a £10 might scare them off,

 

if all else fails just sit in the shed one night with the old trusty 12 bore and i verry much doubt they will come back lol

There are some really arsehole families around here- druggies etc. Its not just my garden, they ransacked the lot. They only got crap as no-one bothers to keep anything of value here. MIght give one of those alarms a go tho!
