Angry Pikeys stealing fuel again

There has been a sharp rise of pikeys stealing heating oil and drilling fuel tanks on cars lately. Stealing heating oil from a childs primary school though My friends family own a farm and they have been told if they hear anyhing suspicious not to confront the pikeys but ring the police and wait for them to arrive, by which time they will probably have gotten away with 1500 litres of fuel.

We used to have a red diesel tank used for off-road plant. Pikeys kept breaking the padlocks to get access to the fill nozzle.


It stopped when I got a stencil set and sprayed "Paraffin" in big letters onto the tank by the padlocks

Seems pikeys can read afterall

A work friend of mine had a problem with nieghbours nicking his Esso blue parraffin (this was a long time age when you had free standing parraffin heaters) from his cans, so he replaced it with petrol, it stopped after that when they burnt down there kitchen & lounge, & put the neighbour into a burns unit.

Pikeys were in our town yesterday, I witnessed them nicking plates from a store - right in front of EVERYONE!!!!

They get away with what they like, don't they?

A cull is the answer - vermin, scum.

There are a lot of them where i live, and daily i witness them causing trouble and people are to scared to do anything about it. The police are also a joke and would rather challenge motorists for having a brake light out, rather than a van full of pikeys speeding around throwing bricks at people... this was last week. Scum the lot of them.

We refuse to fill our tank now. We've been robbed about 3 times over the last few years.
Once they know it is there, there is no stopping them. They even hacksawed off the padlock
We are looking at alternative heating options. These new eco friendly heat pumps seem the way to go

And be awarded life imprisonment - Tony Martin style.



Long term partner of the wifes aunty used to go "on a run" nearly every night. He'd leave at about 11pm and not come back until early hours with his people carrier full of 25L drums of pinched diesel. Taken from farms and trucks all over the place.

Not sure how many "runs" were for fuel as its later turned out he was banging most of the local slags (the guy has 15+ kids)

When finally caught, the barrels were empty and he could only be done for theft of the barrels themselves.

some ******** stole all my heating oil the other night. £500 wasted!!
Plus i had to take a day off work the fix the boiler from being run dry.
Such a pain. If you try and secure the tank they just drill a hole in it and then you gotta fooked tank.
Got no choice but to fill er up again and hope they don't come back. Didn't even bother calling the feds. What are they gonna do?
Hopefully they don't come back and have a go at the scooby too.

Is it always "Travelling Folk" that do this, surely as fuel gets more expensive it will happen more often and I suppose it might not always be travellers, it could well be any theiving tosser.

This happened to my brother, cost him a fortune for the dregs left in the tank they took, his was petrol as well and I thought this usually for diesel ?

I would love to find one underneath my car and chuck a match under with him, "Yippee Ky Ay mothef*cker", I could quite cheerfully immolate someone doing that to my motor, and I think I actually mean it as well !

I haven't any heating oil on my property .... but, get this!!

I woke this morning to noises outside the front of the house, we have a pair of ornate steel electric gates .... a group of Pikeys were lifting them off their hinges!!!

Despite the distance the gates are from the house, I was going to shout at them ... but didn't ..

And you having been reading them for so long too!

Maybe the only way to deal with these underhand thieves is for them to get a lesson which they will never forget!

pointing 2 long barrels at them tends to do the trick even more so when they hear the hammers being brought back.

Didn't do a very good job did he?

Saying that there doesn't seem to be a pikey problem in Germany, I think it is because he never made it to England that you still have the problem and we don't

He didn't do anything very good all round when you think about it. Took the easy way out too!

Mind you, doubt if it would have been worth his while letting the Russians catch him.
