Binky Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 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 ?

sid Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binky Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 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.

Pierre ZFP Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yonner Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Unbelievable!!You could try something like this, although I don't know which stores to try in France. http://www.screwfix.com/p/a2-stainless-steel-security-shear-nuts-m5-x-10mm-pack-of-10/54786?_requestid=1861382Or round off one or two of the bolt heads after tightening.

Binky Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 That could be the case,might consider a chain or nonail the bolts,but it looks as if they have hack sawed the bolts or bolt cutted it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
