Bob T Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Don't have an oil tank and I assume that the BBC site is UK news, I live in France. No problems for me then :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnOther Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Anyone who believes that a padlock or an alarm will stop a determined thief is deluding themselves.If someone comes prepared to suck up 500 or 1000lt of oil it's highly likely that they would also be equipped with bolt cutters and all manner of other tools of the trade.

just john Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 Possibly, these are the police recommendations, however they may have an effect in some cases since some properties have been occupied whilst the thefts were carried out[:-))] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pachapapa Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 And with police being afraid of the dark; I bet most of the thieving is by miners with cap lamps.[:-))]http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1351089/The-police-afraid-dark-Officers-wont-patrol-yob-plagued-park-8pm.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
