Whilst we were out yesterday,some nice person came and stole our satellite dish.

Just shows you even in the quiet rural areas of France you can get crime.

Can anyone suggest how to safeguard against this in the future ?

Crikey! What a peculiar choice of objects to steal; it's not as if they're particularly valuable, but it must be annoying. I can't think of any way of securing a dish but presumably it was within easy reach? Perhaps you could move it somewhere less accessible?

No thats the pecular thing,they would have needed a ladder,so must have come prepared.

As you say not particulary expense,but perhaps someones dish had stopped working and they noticed ours. Who knows ?

Theivery of any sort makes me mad but this is just incredible!  What next? will we have to chain flowerpots to the ground?

Just a thought but perhaps they knew you were English and therefore had a 'special' dish to receive UK TV?  There's no underestimating the lack of intellegence of the numptys that would do this kind of thing.

We have twice had flowerpots, complete with plants, pinched whilst we were away...
