We’ve been robbed. Some time on 7/8 January thieves took:

• our second-hand trailer
• a newish mower
• a beautifully restored garden bench (gift from a volunteer)
• our historic yellow, non-kinking hose (plus some other hoses)
• long electrical leads
• sundry garden shovels and general tools (still working out what’s missing)

Police tell us it looks like a professional job, maybe with local help.

We’ve had break-ins before. They’re disheartening, but our little band of members carry on.

We’ll need to replace the stolen equipment, and contributions are welcome. We deliberately limit ourselves to second-hand and low-cost equipment so the only thieves we attract are stupid ones.
