But at least stronger locks are on, which I will bolt into place tonight rather than relying on screws which could be levered out. Doors have been reinforced, and a section of heavy angle iron put on the sliding door to stop it being forced off the runners. I've boarded out under the eaves to stop anybody climbing in, so hopefully we can worry less now. Put an alarm on the most vulnerable shed, and the CCTV is now up and running.
As it happened, it picked up something today while I was at work - we live up a forest track so there is no passing traffic. Imagine my worry when I saw a flatbed Transit parked outside the workshop. Police were no use unless I could say that a break in was happening, so I had to go back and investigate myself. Turned out it was just some guys from the Forestry that had come to do work, but it didn't help my heart rate!
As for getting rid of any bodies, with several hundred acres of woodland behind us, that wouldn't be an issue


I went down to my local power tools place, partly to see if anyone had offered them my stuff but also to ask about buying replacements. Turned out they have one of their ex-hire strimmers for sale, for a decent price so I asked whether I could put a deposit on it until the money comes through. It was rather nice when he said "Don't worry about a deposit, I know you - if you want to take it now you can just pay when you have the money"

Speaking of which, many thanks to Brian (electrokid) for the loan of a camera which arrived today
