this one from Dorset echo
THIEVES struck at allotments near Dorchester where their haul included a complete shed and its contents.
The night-time raid also netted seats, tools and other items kept on site by allotment-holders at Charlton Down.
Mandy Richards, treasurer of the village allotments group, said: “A shed was taken and the tools in it.
advertisement“It’s so disheartening. They also took some seats that had been put on what is being made into a community area.
and this from Essex
A metal shed and its contents have been stolen from the garden of a house in Gordons, Pitsea.
The thieves removed a lawn mower, hedge trimmer, patio table, chairs and two loungers.
They then unbolted the 8ft by 4ft shed from its base and carried it off. The £600 haul was taken between Tuesday, June 10 and Thursday, June 12.
Anyone with any suggestions on how to counteract these thieves? I’m not sure that my shed would survive being moved in this manner but given that it’s wood I am sometimes concerned that people might want to break into it.
