This morning I started working on my Snoot (the first time in a long time), within five minutes two guys in a Transit van arrived, my first thouhgts were they were selling some thing but oh no they had other intentions (it was empty except for a spade the Police told me they searched it) after 5 minutes of asking them to leave they got realy nasty and violent towards my wife and I, even as I was talking to the Police they still would not leave, in the end they drove at me, it was only then that they drove out of my yard.

They then blocked the road and were still threatening us, unfortuanatly it took the police 25 minutes to arrive on the scene, by this time i had enough of them, and the only way I could get them to leave was to get my crossbow, as soon as they saw it the went, the police said that they wanted me too look in the van and they probably would have hit me and then take what they wanted,(they thought I was on my own) I was not that stupid it back fired on them.
 
Which leads me on to the question, (is my snoot safe), in a word NO it is not safe because there is always some bastard out there who will take what they want when they want and they don't give a damm who they hurt, the Police said that I should not have got out the crossbow and that I should have waited for them to get there, my response to that was they went as soon as they saw it, and you took to long in getting here, it was the only way I felt I could protect us under the circumstances and that was all I was interested in.

If we were not at the yard at the time I am sure they would have taken what they wanted,
I told the Police that if they return I would have no problems in protecting us with it, (no action was taken against the scum) but at least they took nothing.
Police threatened to arrest me for protecting my property! Great society we live in!

Forgot to say these were pikeys
