Not good at all.

Got to think something organised is happening. Tie in the amount of thefts in Yorks ? Humber and the bonnet thefts is like a mini hotspot at the moment.

Is it more prevalent in Yorks/Humberside due to proximity to the docks and rapid transport out of the country..?

Something needs to be done, I'm scared to leave my Defender anywhere these days (and I've had a Defender and Disco 3 stolen previously, so know first hand the hassle it causes).

cheers

For a start 2 of places it says are in Yorkshire/Humberside are not in Yorkshire...
For another thing, all of the places listed as Yorkshire/Humberside are pretty FAR from any docks, not close to them.

You live in the Peak District Simon, I'd have thought you'd have a better idea of the geography of that region!

And a few more......

16th Oct - Attempted theft of a 110 in London area - thief gave up and nicked somebody elses. Pic of thief captured on CCTV (limited details)

2 recent thefts in Staffordshire - Black 110 in Hanbury (no more details) and Grey Puma 90 (2.2) in Sudbury (again limited info but I think that's the first 2.2 Puma I've seen reported pinched on LW)

16th Oct - Black 08'plate Puma 90 pinched in Monmouth - piccies on Landywatch.

Currently, no information received if extra security on any of these. In the main, they're cross postings from Facebook and LandyZone. Jon - 110 td5 [sold]. Currently Defenderless.
