The cheek of it.I think a visit round the back streets of the town to see which house has a brilliant mega watt Crimbo lights on display might worth a try. With any luck they may also find the cherry picker outside.

How much do you think there might be and just how much would it be worth?

I suspect the cherry picker has far more value.;)

Agreed, But lets face it the pikey **** bags will nick a memorial plaque from a war memorial so copper lighting cable will be worth something to them.

Well if it's "generally them" and you have a video that no one else can see then I'm convinced.

Because you will find that it is generally them that carry out this sort of thieving.

You should see the video tapes of them visiting our cable yard at a night. They still come and have a look to see if there is anything in there even when it has been empty for 6 months now :LOL:
