There is a good chance that you are not alone with this theft.
Call the police on Tel.No.101

It works so many times and lets get the scroates locked up.

I'd also report it to the Police, at least it alerts them to the type
of thing being nicked in their area.

I agree. And as said elsewhere, others in the area may have suffered
theft, too and if so, the more reports, the more chance of the
perpetrators being caught and/or property recovered. Apart from
anything else, a true record of crime figures, even petty crime, is
important to those in the area, too, imo.

Too right, Sacha.
What might seem as petty crime to you and me is major for some older or
even vulnerable folks who might not come across any sort of crime before.
The thing to do is report ALL crimes and let the police do their job. DNA
scanning of evidence is a real criminal catcher. Footprints are so very
useful too.
The time is nearly up for criminals I think.
