Opportunity knocks if someone saw that cable lying on the verge and you can’t blame them. Besides whoever took it (on a main road) would need transport and manpower, obviously it didn’t stop them. Well you can blame them for stealing stuff that didn't belong to them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0bserver Posted July 21, 2022 Author Share Posted July 21, 2022 Fair enough is the warning signs are there. Can't say I've driven a high vehicle along the coast road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once it's stripped and cut up it'll be difficult to prove where it came from... It will be bare already surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt_Mainwaring Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 There's only a few hours of darkness at the moment (assuming they weren't extremely brazen!). If they came from Laxey direction, does Gellings eggs not have CCTV facing the road, which might come up trumps if it's good enough quality? You'd expect someone would have seen something as it wouldn't have been a quick pick up job. Unless they were wearing overalls a la Phoenix Nights when they nick the TV from the club....... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A fool and his money..... Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 To be fair IOM bus and rail have a terrible record when it comes to security. In Longworth was stealing a living from them for years. BTW I wonder if anyone has checked his garage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hissingsid Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Is it definitely nicked or has a different department of the DOI picked it up and stored it for safe keeping, that is what happened to the scoreboard, allegedly. 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
