mostly annoyed
Good things about this weekend:
- fabulous weather (even if it does mean that the house is sweltering hot by midday),
- watching loads more Supernatural (which I have to say I'm enjoying immensely and I may possibly have been reading some RPS),
- getting my holiday to Iceland sorted (very excited! we're going at the end of July),
- Doctor Who,
- managing to completely hide from anything to do with the World Cup (apart from that bloke sitting/lying on the wall at the bottom of the road throwing up (what appeared to be just beer) all over the pavement yesterday afternoon - come on England!).
Bad things about this weekend:
- getting to the field at half past eight yesterday morning to find that SOME FUCKER HAS BROKEN IN AND NICKED A LOAD OF STUFF. Just brilliant. Just exactly what we need at the moment.
A list of what they took:
Oscar and Kaz's headcollar and lead ropes
Kaz's muzzle and special headcollar that it fits on (probably about £50)
A wheelbarrow (why couldn't they have taken one of the shit ones?) which I guess they used to wheel the generator away with.
Portable petrol generator
Electric fence energiser (the one we had to buy to replace the last one that was nicked during the fire)
A fire bucket (!)
Two battery powered lamps
Two ragwort forks (which is annoying because a) they're £25 each, and b) we were going down to pull some ragwort yesterday morning and now we can't)
Troy's owner's riding hat (don't know why they didn't take anyone elses)
They must have had some fuck off massive bolt cutters to get through the padlock (which has gone completely) and they've come in through the neighbouring farmer's field where they must have had a vehicle in there to carry everything off in. None of the neighbours heard anything at all.
Luckily, we don't keep any tack down there because of the risk of this happening. We try not to leave anything valuable down there because you can't really get insurance for it if stuff gets taken. What can you do about this though? You can't take a wheelbarrow home with you every night. The police came up to the field last night to see what had been taken and to look at the fence where the wire has been cut. We've had more attention off the police for this than we ever did for the fire which is ridiculous really. I'm still pissed off about those idiot Specials filing it as an accidental fire. The police said that there wasn't really anything more we can do security wise. Even if we did have security lights (which we can't because we've no mains electricity) it would just show them what they're stealing!
Anyway, I'm very pissed off indeed. And the worst thing is, we know that everything that was taken would have been in the auction section yesterday at Derby cattle market or Appleby horse fair which is on this weekend.
