Thieving B********

Our Daisy above, does seem to encourage people to wait to be invited in to Home or the warehouse.

Many years ago I had a little "unit" in Birmingham.

Went in one afternoon and found that it had been broken into the night before.

After a good look around my foh speakers and amp racks etc were still there, but six Behringer B300 powered dj monitors had been stolen. Nothing else.

Those monitors were actually all broken and beyond economic repair with dead amplifier modules and drivers. I was wondering what to do with them.

Would have been great to be a "fly on the wall" when they got their spoils home.

Hahaha.

Or people just wanting a new iphone

asset tracking devices don't cost much these days. easily hidden in the back of an amp rack.

police caught some lads wheeling my mate's motorbike down the road. they claimed they had 'found it' on the street so they let them go. they came back a couple of days later and just stole it again.

Just like knives have done when it comes to youth fights.  Unfortunately the only way for now is to make yourself a harder target than the next person. Thieves are by definition lazy- if they were happy to work hard they wouldn’t need to steal ( in the main at least), so will always chose the easiest victim.  At least, as far as my garage is concerned they will need a couple of hours with a plasma cutter ( wall is too thick for a full size angle grinder), by which time the police WILL be there, even if i have to get them to chase me from the cop shop
