Well that was a dismal failure,,,, (tried to post the link) in the abovementioned article there was a sub heading about a low life that also stole a 1,000 litres
of diesel from a property in the area that Wapiti was speaking about just recently.

Yes, it bloomin well is similar mate. You can cut down from there down to the Texas road then up ours.
Bloody grubs.
It's not like they're struggling people that quietly suffer from all this deliberate mismanagement in everything in this country for so long, it's deliberate ongoing theft by the type of grubs that think working hard for something is taking the time and money to drive distance to steal from others.

The dudes I caught that night not so long ago were in a huge shiny black American pick-up, like one of those pathetic Rams, they were sneaking around our sheds and bolted when I put the torch down towards there.
I had plenty of comments about what I should have done then, but it would've been me that was in trouble.
As it was, nothing was done by our respected law enforcement, not even a visit.

Then, you wouldn't believe it, Thursday I had an individual from the property where I have had Intel on, where that vehicle came from, a bloke from the same mob complaining he didn't have any deer to hunt with his bow, because they'd all been mowed down by these wonderful new community members who've graced us with the pleasure of moving in to our area, and would not take a polite no for an answer.
You know how we all have professionally made signs on our gate now saying no entry, visitors please respect farm biosecurity plans, pl3ase call this number prior to entry? Well now my number is being daily text and called repeatedly by this bloke. They say, keep your enemies close... but FFS.
I guess I could use this to my advantage, but I think that would actually be a one way street.

I remember watching the show “yellow stone “ , yeah okay, it’s Hollywood drama at times, but a good watch.
They were really nice people at that ranch, anyone who was a PITA they’d very kindly give them a lift to their local “train station “.
How thoughtful. lol

There was another big theft by another mob of future fish food 20km away from here, stealing fuel and quad bikes.
And just outside of Warwick, fish-food showed up and robbed a farmer at gunpoint, stole his firearms.
And we can't have castle law, because the coppers will sort it out. Sort it out maybe later. Maybe.

I was worried about them creating the city slums and the cost of living crisis, sending them to closer low crime areas like mine.
Now the fuel means an easy unlocked quick syphoning crim for the low-lives.
During the last big fire a ute was cruising around our streets for looting opportunities.
Cops said it was from the Mount Druit area, may have been stolen.

I asked a riding mate what he does about poachers before they had to get through the hippy tree huggers that now surround him.
He was a very proficient bow hunter and shot heaps of trophies O/S and at home.
He said he stalks in close with the shotty, and they seem to get out really quickly, not that I would ever condone such behavior, lol

Some types of people will just take advantage of others, no matter what it is.
With the world the way it is, there's more good stuff to take, and seemingly more people of the grub disposition that would rather take the trouble and risk to steal something from another person who's worked hard, rather than use that effort to find a way to get it legally and respectfully themselves.

Pretty low I reckon. With the looming super El-nino biting here now and were told most likely no meaningful rain here for dams even into summer and coming into cold weather nothing grows here anyway then, so many around me have dry dams, animals getting stuck in muddy dams, and no feed left. I spent another couple of hours on the phone with others to secure feed for some neighbours and store it here for them and trying to organise water drilling for those who can afford it. Better ways to store water in paddocks, not just for stock, some out of the box ideas that traditionally are not thought of.
And just trying to get everyone together and just to ignore the mongrels that live in the insulated cities and don't understand what's going on and who is responsible for so many not having the fuel and energy to try and stay above water.

And with all this happening at one time, dirty lazy oxygen thief POS from all around are prowling around to steal what others worked for and aren't respected for achieving by a greedy market that basically steals from them too when they sell what they've made or grown. I've stopped being surprised how our community despises even more those who don't live in it, but reckon they know everything about it from a few visits.
Way more to come I reckon.

it's bad enough with fuel theft from lowlifes , but i reckon in the coming months as food price goes up there will be a increase in livestock thefts . apparently there's a gang of middle eastern looking fellas doing a lot of stock theft around the VIC-SA border regions . i reckon live stock theft goes on a lot more than people realise . alternatively maybe vegans will be out in the fields of gatton, west of brisbane thieving veges :unknown:

Many world experts are saying that soon, things will start to get very bad on the fuel side. I hope to hell this is just wrong.

We are preparing with our needs through winter, and will not be participating in this engineered mess. And will not share it with people who want to steal from others and have a free ride.

The people are the only things that can fix what's happening.
You won't vote this out.
You won't isolate from it.

Look at the top of every corporation. The same people that represent this silent terrorist movement, sit there on every board.

That's why the underlying push for castle law here.
But the people against it, both politicians, police and little people like us... or who pretend to be - are the ones that want to be those who control in what direction we are heading in.
Not to contribute to a respectful society.
Look what happens when those arrested get in front of the judges... "what's in it for me to keep you out of incarceration?"

These crooks are dumb at the end of the day... I dont have many suggestions, but I do have a few... trail cams with sim cards set in strategic places ready to video the moment they are tripped... surround the fuel pumps on your property with spotlights on a movement sensor, and tape a recording of your voice very casually telling them that uve seen them... cops are coming.. we have your rego... etc.. and put that on the same movement sensor as the lights coming through a speaker... I like using a nail mat, and putting it at the entrance/entrances to the fuel pump at the end of the day... you can also easily rig an alarm to go of in your bedroom the moment the movement sensor is tripped... obviously you have to ensure the sensor isnt sensitive enough to be tripped by Foxes etc...

one of the things my mates did down south... he hotwired in the whole area surrounding his pumps... the moment he flicks that switch to turn on the sensors the whole place goes live including the gates, with enough power to kick those bums right back to where they came from... obviously those fences cannot be reached by his livestock...

Another mate is pretty handy with welding... he has built 2x Montser gates surrounding his pump area, (you can only get to it through one of those 2 gates)... he made a slam mechanism and spring activated the gate then wired into sensors... he activates that when he goes to bed... the minute a vehicle breaks the sensors and passes the gates slam shut... and im telling you... that vehicle is not getting out... the only way out for them is walking, and the fence they will come to is very heavily hotwired... and the fence cant be reached by the car... they would have to drive over a pretty deep revine/gully to do it

I love it!

On that awesome inventiveness your mate shows, he must really have some problems, eh?

I can't help but remember the set-up Walter White had in his boot in the final episode in the last series to sort out the cartel dudes...
But those things don't come up for sale all that often and cost as much as a new Raptor ute... then how to feed the beast?
