We've had no end of warnings around the surrounding villages here.
Blokes in white vans have been seen cruising around watching where dog walkers live.
There was a police warning only a few days back saying to be vigilant for chalk marks made on garden walls, fences, house walls and pavements, to indicate where dogs live.
Some of these thieves also put cable ties to fences as markers. Dogs are being taken at knife point.
Those idiots who still leave their poor dogs outside shops are putting them in serious danger.
It really, really worries me, and I am going to buy a personal alarm.

Meg mentioned rural crime earlier in here, and I wanted to show you a report I received just today on how much of a problem this is in the countryside.Apart from the illegal Hare coursing, which is a rapidly growing 'sport', with killer dogs changing hands for up to £20,000
, there has recently been a lot more crimes reported.Quote:
"Officers from the force's Rural Crime Team has recently received more than 40 reports, which has included the theft of 12 caravans, 12 trailers, nine plant machinery, agricultural tractors and eight quad bikes."
Unquote
And this is only in my local area!!
No doubt with lambing well under way, the next thing will be lambs being stolen or slaughtered in the fields again.

I know for fact that diesel stored in tanks at farmyards, for use in agricultural machinery, is also being stolen. Nothing is safe it seems these days.

If so, we have a simple solution: close our border with Ireland and stop them coming here. Let them pursue their criminal activities in their own country. We are better off without them.

both legally and illegally!
Being strict at our borders, as happens in Australia and America as I see in TV programmes,
would help immensely. Nobody with a criminal conviction can get into those countries but here?
Well no further comment needed … !
