Drove in, picked up a trailer full of land rover engines, waved to the Gatehouse staff and drove off, only to return a bit later and do it again!!!
A padlock really might have been a better idea, and cheaper too!!
Now without a job i imagine.
As for the engines, in a container ready for outage to Africa most likely, Salone would be a likely market, bent customs…well…bent everything really…
Audacious much? Talk about confident.
Clearly more to this than meets the eye, like that even needed saying…
Well you have to take your hat off to em I say! 
Sadly though it’ll just result in even more bollox for us to endure… 
Beezle, gate house folk might be in the clear…
Security to Goods Out Office: There’s a guy in a balaclava trying to leave the site, paperwork looks ok tho…
Goods Out Office to Security: No worries, lift the barrier…
Mutters to oneself /best mate, ■■■■ ing security eh, are they even capable of making a decision for themselves. What the ■■■■ are they like, ■■■■ ing numpties, couldn’t wipe their own arse if their life depended on it. What we have to their job too… ■■■■ 'em
They have a good laugh… Get the kettle on will ya.
Any drama that was once in the Goods In office is now well and truly over…
God we have got some ■■■■ ing idiots doing security here, where do the ■■■■ do we get them from…?
Kettle now boiling… Two sugars…■■
Culprits even waved on their way out. It’s almost laughable.
Was Denzil driving by any chance…■■
Happened to us a couple of years ago, one of our units was stolen and they tried to lift a trailer out of a customers yard.
They failed, we laughed, life went on.
Inside job?
Somebody must have known how to get the correct paperwork.
Somebody must have known what trailer to steal, or he could have ended up with a trailer full of castings.
By the way I think 3 million for 2 trailers with engines is a bit exerted, probably the cost of lost production, late delivery etc included.
Inside job. It said they obtained paperwork to make their escape easier. They must’ve turned up with load references and taken the loads ‘legitimately’. Think how hard it is to get on a site without the correct numbers. They’d never have done it without inside knowledge
So for glamour value does this now count as a heist rather than just a plain old robbery?
Fact that they went back for 2nd helpings only backs up there had to be someone on the inside keeping watch, ultimately p/work got them out past security, not security in itself.
Would not be at all surprised if plod is on their trail already. Bet they have at least the 1st arrest within days if not sooner…
■■■■ ing agencies. Thieves the lot of 'em…

Its quite easy if there is a regular drop happening at the place. Take last night, we have a regular collection from the West Midlands for Denmark and Norway on a Friday. We are supposed to quote a V number reference to the gateman but last night that didn’t happen. Me and another driver in convoy rolled in, I was first and told the gateman I was there to collect for Norway. He then proceeded to just open the gate for me. It isn’t hard getting hold of one of our trailers as someone was actually breaking into one of our holding yards a few years ago (I say breaking in but he was really just walking through the gate as it was left unlocked), taking photos and then posting them up on eBay. People bought the trailers then arrived, hooked up and made off with them!
We are supposed to quote these numbers because on a few occasions someone along the chain had screwed the pooch, messed up the paperwork and ended up sending Denmarks load on Norways trailer to Norway!

Not even a robbery - just plain old Theft. Robbery is theft with violence.

You wouldn’t get out of jrl without a gate pass. They might have got in solo, without question if they had stolen a dhl unit, but to get an exit pass means someone inside has leaked the information
Yesterday I had to go and pick up my firms British Superbike trailer after it had some bodywork work done from a place in Avonmouth. The repair guys had just left it in an industrial estate away from their premises due to space. The only unit we had spare was a 56 plate DAF hand painted in military green with no company stickers on it and tons of damage on it as it’s given to new drivers on waste/landfill work.
When I was hitching up to it and raising the rear suspension on the trailer as its a low rider a forklift driver from another company that the trailer was parked outside of their gate actually challenged me on whether it was my trailer to take. I proved it by showing him my company fleece 
At least he took an interest, maybe even noted my numberplate down before I left because I knew the trailer was empty but it could have had a very expensive load on board.
1 reason why we use pin lock on our trailer weather empty or not
Ok not full proof as we all know but it helps there are also padlocks on all of our trailers on the back doors
i went into british bakeries in apollo road belfast with a fridge loaded with bread from glasgow…tells the cabbage its a load of coal for the furnace round the back,( this is in a 45 ft fridge) and they get regular deliveries of loaves and bread anyway,he dont bat an eyelid and walks away to open the barrier,i then call him back and ask him if he knows anywhere i can borrow a shovel as i broke mine when i was loading it,so away he goes to ask the other security guard to help me…this one clicks on and calls him various names the autocensor would have a meltdown for,and lets me in anyway…same for the wazzocks at the ferry ports.ive got on saying im carrying chicken lips,glider engines,waistcoat sleeves,holes for polomints,bubbles for soap,spirit levels,etcetc…sometimes you get a reaction,but mostly they are just brain dead lemmings,and thats the local/indigenous one.

PMSL… 
I work for JLR at the solihull plant and it will be the same set up as last time someone tried stealing a trailer load of engines. The trailer was found on a farm still loaded and fingerprints from that led to many being caught.
Theres even a guy still working there as a JLR supervisor because they couldn’t pin it on him but everyone knows he was involved in the last engine load theft which included JLR workers, DHL management and paying the guys off in the security hut.
you’d be amazed what goes missing at that plant. Alloy wheels being thrown over the fence to collect after shift to guys getting caught with bag fulls of uncoded key fobs.
I’ve never been stopped by a security guard, I don’t see a point in having them if they just wave people in and out all the time.
