Diesel theft, NE Scotland

Heard a few times about problems in this area but never had any issues myself, until now.
Last Monday night kipping on the A947 in the big layby just above Fyvie got woke by a couple of ■■■■■■■ trying to help themselves to some of my diesel, luckily they didn’t do any damage or get much fuel just ■■■■■■ annoyed at getting ma beauty sleep disturbed. :imp: :imp: :imp:

To be honest these guys didn’t have the tinker look about them , both late 20’s / early 30’s , jeans and padded shirts driving an old passat .

That’s why I didn’t even both phoning them Andy, to much hassle waiting for them to show when you know fine well they’ll do ■■■■ all. :imp: :imp:

Am up that way on way to mac duff on a regular bases , will need to keep a eye out even if catching 40 winks on a 45 !
i suppose the dearer the fuel gets its just going to get worse ;-(

the Caravan Utilising Nomadic Travellers are spreading ever more northward . they have bought the holiday park at boat of garten , so now they have a base to operate from . they were all round the north west coastal area in june , tools and equipment went walkabout .

I parked in Asda’s car park at Portlethan in February & popped in for something for lunch. I came out again to find a white Renault master van parked beside my fuel tank, they bolted as I approached but cap was off tank & fuel on the ground.

I took their number & phoned Grampians finest who told me the number belonged to a Nissan Micra! They were well aware of this group of ■■■■■■ & their theiving around the Aberdeen area.

I read somewhere that Colin Lawson Transport had their tank emptied in a yard next to a cop shop in Aberdeen!

interestingly it not only the travelling community that are into fuel theiving, there are also some normal people at it aswell, as fallmonk says the more expensive fuel gets the more fuel thefts will take place
