Having moved my weather gear to my workplace in order to get better readings, I got in today to find that some SCUM has pinched the bl**dy thing! They even unscrewed the stevenson off the post. Company insurance can't cover it as it wasn't "Tools of Trade" either :(

I hope they get CG'ed !

But why steal it, it cannot be of any use to them! Was it a theft to order!

Theft to order? If you saw what little was left of my TrickyDicky 918 it would have to be a deranged international weather station theft ring!!

What annoys me is it that now I have nothing until I can save my feeble pennies. At least my good old weather rock is still swinging around at the back door.

I 'spose they could have just vandalised it, so at least it's (probably) still functioning....somewhere. Now I know why MetService surround their stations with barbed wire.
