im afraid they get away with it because vthey know if they are caught there is no punishment waiting. the law is a complete ass and needs making much much tougher with prision sentences handed out for more crimes

They want stringing up. They could have caused a right explosion if there`d been a spark

As the boiler in question was new I'd guess that a plumber could probably just install it in somebody elses house and get the full price for it. Not suggesting of course that a plumber would steal a boiler. I can't see it being worth much as scrap however.

The idiots that are doing this need locking up before they kill somebody

With the road been so busy someone must have seen at least 2 people carrying something strange looking across shiregreen i would have thought!

There really brazen in my opinion and very stupid but then it is christmas and they will do anything for the next couple of quid even cause a massive gas explosion that could have killed half the street it is pure greed and selfishness they need finding before they do seriously hurt someone.
