Theft

[woodland]

We are 30 miles from the nearest rcmp station and the last two years have been a nightmare. Before that we were like mallee where nothing including the house was locked. Sometimes a neighbor borrowed a vehicle to get home if they got stuck and were walking home past your place( I've done it too). We've had a pickup stolen (never found), fuel stole, and a $1,000 electric fencer as well.

The last time they were in the yard I was firing the 12 gauge in the air (my wife phoned the cops during this and they were out in a hurry) and letting them know it wouldn't be warning shots next time. They haven't been back to our place since.

A couple of neighbors and I are the local sheriffs since the cops are a half hour away. We've had 10 people (over 18 months) arrested that have been theives here including a couple of guys in a pickup that I rammed with the feed truck. Thought I would get in trouble over that but the cops coached me on what to say in the interview after. The Rez is only five miles away but most of these people ( some are women.... it's 2017 after all) are white trash and repeat offenders.

RCMP must feel like their hands are tied. They keep catching and arresting the same 'people' knowing that the courts will keep letting them go free.

We can thank Beverley McLachlin for the court's leniency.

Called RCMP first this morning. They seem genuinely interested. Hopefully Michael kept the guy talking long enough to get enough information out of him so they can catch him.

We have our main farm yard along a major highway and have only had trouble there versus our more remote yards. We have 24 hour video surveillance now and recently working with the RCMP caught someone attempting to steal. A crackhead female with drugs and fake firearms, she is going to jail likely for not long enough.

We have everything from fuel and auger engines to s skid steer stolen.

We have yet to lock up chemical on our sprayer trailer but that will be next lol.

This crap is getting out of hand. Good luck on the recovery Klause.

The one thing about them trying to peddle it back to other farmers is that they will get caught, because that is an immediate tip off bullshit pitch they will be making lol.

A few weeks ago at Humboldt. Someone stole a JD gator and a Kubota from dealerships .both are along highway 5..more busy than any farm yard.some people have giant balls.

Was always the case in our part of Alberta. Meth addicts for the most part.

Grassfarmer they quite often are packing knives but the cops said some are packing handguns. Wish these repeats would we sent away for a lot longer than they are. The guy I hit with the feed truck was caught back at the neighbors place six months later.
