Theft of fire wood

[NorthernRaider]

Chat on local radio was just commenting about rural crime and apparently people are actually going out and stealing piles of cut timber and people piles of fire logs from their gardens!!!

Watch your fuel supplies folks.

Timbers expensive, people are smart when it come to crime sometimes. Thanks for the heads up.

there have been 6 arrested around my area for just that, 4 polish and 2 Romanian illegals all released with a slap on the wrist

Hmmm, if only there was some way to booby trap piles of firewood

[Metroyeti]

Leave a small pile of timber in an,obvious location, lowlife start moving it, move so much it realeases the giant jack in box hidden under the timber, either that or a bear trap.

It is not just cut firewood - I know farmers and landowners who have had people come onto their land with chainsaws and start taking down trees and cutting up windfalls.

I must admit if i had a logburner i would be picking up any bit of wood lying about, not so much peoples log piles in their gardens but more, bits from the side of the road, odd logs or tree branches that sort of thing.

you dont mind people taking windfall ,it used to be a public right that people could collect dead wood for fuel might still be !

[NorthernRaider]

I took the time and effort to get a letter from our counties head forester to collect windfall.
