Theft from shop

[newcastle phill]

Stick a "wanted must be cheap and fairly new" advert on gumtree

Gumtree - the site of choice for tea leafs

Find a pallet and boiler packaging and fill it full of bricks and a GPS.

Who's controlling the camera?
Zooming in and rotating the camera?

As for the blokes who took it, it looked a very light 130 KG's.
And they ran with it too!

Something suspicious?

Doesn't look legit to me.

I did a job earlier this year. I took the old boiler out and left it on the drive then carried the new boiler into the house. I drilled the wall and hung it on its bracket (maybe an hour) I went out to the van and the old boiler was gone

Lol , week before last, I had a scrap man ( yorkshire accent ! Not irish ) waiting in his van whilst I took a boiler off a wall. Lol

Videos not working - cant see it

I leave the old boilers out on the front on purpose so somebody will take them. New ones get taken straight round to where Im working as soon as delivered.

Would have thought it would be a nice easy one to investigate. Cctv on hand. Must be other cameras that picked up the van. Jobs a good un.

Crimewatch sometimes puts cctv of thefts on their programme.
Hard to beat millions of people seeing it. Anyone that knows those people will easily recognise them, even by what they are wearing.

It's a recording on a mobile phone of the monitor screen, or at least that's what it looks like oz

May be worth shoving the video on your local Facebook group. Earlier this week a tool shop in the village had something knicked, they put stills of the video on Facebook and by Thursday the tool was returned by a 'friend' with an apology and a request that the pics got taken down.

I realise it's a slim chance but maybe worth a go.

 

[markfxy]

Anyone wonna buy a cheap boiler never been used still on the pallet :wink5:

 

[SimonG]

It could have been worse, it was only a Worcester

Hope plod gets his finger out.

 

[Ch4 plumbing]

If it was an Alpha they would have dropped it back and complained!!

 

[Matt06]

Set up a trap like some else suggested, Their probly stupid enough to return and steal "another" with a tracker inside

 

[lame plumber]

just wrap a load of rubbish in cling film and leave it outside

I wonder if we could persuade Big Paul to sit in the box for a while.

Imagine their faces as they are driving along and the box starts to open from the inside, and all 6ft 8in of Big Paul gets out.

Can we have croppie in a box then he could give them the old 38.11

i was amazed they grabbed and run with it too, the camera isnt moving, i recorded the cctv with my phone, trying to focus on the people involved, it is also the easiest way to upload the footage when you are a bit techno retarded.

i do wonder if they may have been following the delivery lorry around, it was like they were there as soon as it had been delivered.

I doubt it looking at the footage. These guy's wouldn't even be considered semi-professional.
Had it have been a inside job, the guys would have just put it on a trolley and walked away with it. They would not have hung around for 3 or 4 minutes making their minds up.
