Hello all once more. Yet again I contact you with bad news. Overnight Wednesday / Thursday 13th / 14th November we were again visited by thieving b******s who have this time broken into all of the gardens on the top annexe. As well as taking property and leaving stuff out for later collection they have once more done a considerable amount of damage in kicking doors and supports down as well as jemmying other doors off. They broke in by cutting through the wire on the upper annexe gate in the same way they cut through the wire on the main gate last time so its probably the same people who visited us last time. After attacking the upper gardens they appear to have come through onto the main garden area via hedge hopping, where they have broken into another four gardens that are apparent so far, so about nine gardens altogether have been entered. Jackie and I have picked up the property that was left on the pathways, all of this was on the annexe garden paths and we will get it back to those whom we think it belongs in due course. We have contacted all of those affected so if you haven’t had a message left from us you are probably OK. If we have missed you however would you let us know that you have been attacked. We have informed the Police yet again and they have said they will visit. Additionally if you are a victim they will contact you direct themselves. If you need to contact them yourselves please quote incident number 174/14112013 to them calling 101 to make contact with their none emergency line. I have contacted a mobile welding company who will attend on Monday next to carry out some extra work to the gates to try and make this particular method of entry less likely in the future. The fact is we have become an attraction for some enterprising young man for whom thieving from us is obviously easier than getting a job. There is little we can do apart from the obvious to stop him or indeed her so could we ask that if you have anything at all of value on the allotments that you take it home and store it there over the winter period. The Police aren’t going to be able to do much either I don’t expect so its really down to us individually to make the gardens as unappealing as possible to them in the future.
