I imagine that many here have had garden equipment stolen.
To date I have suffered 9 such intrusions.
This is not an advert or an offer for sale, just a polite request
for some
thoughts from you gentlefolk.

I have been offered, in the line of work, 10 steel containers. Similar to
shipping containers in style.
Purpose built and not modified shipping containers. Fully insulated.
All are 2.5m in width and height. Lengths vary from 2.5 to 4.0m.
Some are end opening, some side opening, some side & end opening.
All about 5yo and in good order.
I could use 2 or 3 but would have to buy the lot. I could buy an ordinary
20ft shipping container for less but don't have the space.
They are not cheap. About £1000 each plus transport.

Would these be of any interest to anyone?



No, rather than spend so much money on a steel container, two large dogs
would do the trick, make sure your garden is securely fenced so the dogs
cannot get out, leave your back door open during the night so they can get
out into your garden and voila! no-one will steal your garden equipment..

However, should you encounter the kind of professional thieves who
have no conscience about what they do to dogs, you will find that
"leave your back door open all night"
invalidated your insurance contract and the insurers won't pay up.


Janet.

Are you sure, it doesn't say anywhere on my policy that locks have to
used or doors and windows shut, I would especially think they would have
problems winning a case if you were in residence. Leaving doors and
windows open may not be sensible but I don't think insurers could insist
