You should booby-trap the shed. The burglars might come back in a few weeks hoping to nick the stuff you've replaced. I'm sure the OcUK Armed Keyboard Response Unit will advise suitable methods.

I would certainly report it to the Police and claim off your insurance. Does the shed have a window? Were the tools on show? It is worth covering or misting the window - e.g. attaching opaque plastic on the inside.

Has a window, but how the shed is the windowed side is facing the side wall of the house, so you can't see inside or access the shed from that direction.

Nothing expensive will be going in the shed from now on, learnt my lesson.

Only thing thats worth money that'll be in there is the mower, and good luck to em if they wanna try and dig that out without getting a hernia lol

Sorry to hear about this bud. Ive been away Saturday/Sunday and only picked up yer MSN message.

What is more worrying I would say, is how the thieving gits knew about the contents of your shed, i.e. you bought the new gear recently to work on your new water cooling etc and hasnt been long between now and then.

Cooincidence?

Get a guard dog is your only solution

Dunno what to do to make it any securer, its only a normal wooden garden shed, there is only so much you can do with it...

Seal it in 3ft thick Concrete.... seriously the whole thing

Works like a charm

Bad luck dude. Report the crime to the police and claim on the insurance.

First rule of OcUK AKRU is never talk about OcUK AKRU!
