Went down the lottie today and thought, as it hasn't rained for a few
days.that I would mow the central path. Opened the shed and - no mower.
As I went off to see if my plot mate had borrowed it, I noticed that the
two 6ft posts I'd put in ready to wire up for the climbing fruit were
also missing.

Subject line says it all.

So sorry to hear this. Did you mark your mower with your post code with
one of those ultra violet pen thingies?


No, but the next one will be.

I got a electric fence unit back once because I'd marked it. The police
were at a house a few miles away for a drug raid and there was my electric
fence unit with my post code on it which was reported as stolen by me a
few weeks before.
I don't know what the thieves expected to do with it. Duh.
Anyway, I got it back.
Nothing like that has ever happened again.

Just in case, my computer is marked in a similar way. The likelihood of
someone breaking into my house is very low, but, hey, if they stole my
computer that would give me a chance of getting it back.
