The problem with stealing from a farm is that the farmers will probably still be there - they have shotguns and an uncanny ability to spot pikeys raiding their sheds.

I'm thinking that if things go tits up big style I should take a trip to Jewsons for screws, bolts, plywood, insulation, copper pipe, lead flashing, roof sheets and stuff first. I'll trade some of my surplus baked beans for whatever I need, or leave an IOU if the place is empty.
