You have to mount a guard on your oil tank!!!!!! we have had a lot of oil thefts here so everyone is having to keep an eye out,its our only means of heating and its costing us between £250 to £350 every two months its outrageous!!so you can imagine im patrolling my garden with a tin hat and a cricket bat lol!!!

    hi

    I saw a report about this on the news recently - must be awful nothing is safe anymore.

    if you need any help patrolling just ask - got my own cricket bat too! trouble is it's one of those plastic ones the kiddies used to play with.

    take care

    unfortunatly theres no way of alarming it but we have put a fence around it,the thought of electrifying it is very tempting though lol!! dont think the cat would appreciate it :smile: everyone has been told to keep an eye out for unknown oil lorries as they are quite bold and stealing in daylight :shock:

    i like the ninja idea katie, i have a couple of samari swords, im sure they will run once they see me waving them about, you can borrow one if you like, then we can use them to cut the jacket spuds open and add loads of butter and goodies once they have gone.

    sounds like a plan Coco - may have to do some limbering up if we have to fly through the air like in the films - it may take some time bear with me :lol:

    bottle of wine sounds like a great idea.

    Katnapp when me and my hubby moved into our first house many years ago someone stole our garden path! no joke our back garden path was made from large yorkshire stone and apparently worth quite a bit! we came home from work and stood in back garden thinking .....wot looks different! neighbour even said she'd asked them what they were doing but they said they had permission!

    lets open that wine now x

    Kaite :lol:

    i have to admit its angered me,we struggle to pay for oil and have to eke it out which isnt good when you have arthur so i really think if they dare enter my garden its fair game!!not one of those will leave without some sort of injury inflicted by me and my bat grrrrrrrrrrrr

    i need that wine lol im getting all worked up :lol:
