Default Thieving bstards!

So some travelers have settled in a field near my work with nothing from the council or police this far, get to work this morning both cats stolen off our mercedes vans. Why don't they earn a living instead of robbing of everyone.
They say they are unfairly treated but when this happens you get everything you deserve!

They don't sell the cats for scrap
They ship them by the container to Russia , Croatia , & Hungary
Big money in 4x4 & SUV in that part of the world

C/mon guys - it's organised crime

They might not all be bad, I'm sure most of them have good solid 9-5 jobs and pay their stamp, but - but would you be happy with a camp next to your house ?

I work with a few who come and take the scrap from our jobs. I haven't had any reason not to trust them but you just keep an eye on them just incase.

And to be fair they work harder than any "normal" uk resident I have ever met. They had to break 5tonne of cast iron boilers on the 4th floor and handball it down the stairs to their van. Took them 5hrs between 3 of them. Didn't once stop.

They wouldn't win access to mensa or anything, but their work ethic is second to none.
As said some are theiving ***** who need their tfingers chopped off. Others actually graft for a living.

Don't get me wrong we have some travelers that come round and we give them scrap metal pallets when we have it, like someone said they ruin the reputation of all the others. They even tried robbing our drain cover but left it on the floor 20 meters away probably too heavy for the 12 year old they got to do it lol

There are some seriously ignorant (or just plain stupid?) people on this site.

Some of the above comments genuinely made me laugh. Never ever trust a 'traveller' (I use that term in the loosest sense, as none of them actually seem to travel anywhere, excluding the Dale Farm lot obviously).

How do you think pikeys get their money? Good, honest work? Do you think they pay all the correct taxes that the rest of us do! N.I etc?

Oh wait, you've met a couple of them that 'seem' ok, so they must be honest, decent, hardworking folk

the travellers I know I known for years went to college with a couple of them who were doing plumbing and one now owns a plumbing business and pays tax and is legal, u should open your eyes travellers don't claim any benefits or money from the government un like the immigrants that our country's full of taking houses that English people cant have but that's ok yea as long as their not irish they can rape the uk asmuch as they like
