FROM BOB WILLIAMS:
Sadly, I have to report that our JCB 804 has been stolen from the Tamworth Road
site.
The perpetrator{s} broke the internal handle in the toilet cabin to use the stem
as a "key" to release the black shutters, this and the shutters being abandoned
on site. Tracks indicate that the machine was taken along the site and up
through the trees by the A38, probably to load onto a lorry in the bus stop
lay-by away from houses.
The Police have been informed and are investigating.
I am copying this to Mike Palmer with a request that he circulates it to those
attending the training week-end in case someone noticed any onlookers appearing
suspicious which could help the Police with their enquiries.
Also I include Laurence Hogg who has offered to circulate information through
the CanalScape-BCN website for possible sightings of the machine or any leads
that might be helpful.
Similarly, BCNS.
A regular search on E-Bay will be made in case it is offered there.
