Cinnamon Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 The title of this thread just made my heart leap....my daughter is called Devon! Seriously though,thefts have risen dramatically here too,& as we are in the building trade,we are targets. We have upped security on everything,but it still makes for uneasiness.

The Dogmother Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Sarah, if you contact your local police station they will get the crime prevention officer out to advise you and provide some free locks and stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I'm registered with Dog watch and receive alerts on thefts of anything rural including farm stuff, livestock and dogs. They also report any suspicious vehicles which farmers have chased off their land or spotted. I'm not sure which other areas it covers.

freddie Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 Soory, mods!! Female rotty!! Whitney Hardly the most "big dog" name, but there you go! Still no news, except they've also done several churches of oil by drilling the tanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
