These thieves prey on what they see as safe easy pickings, they know you will be gone a long time and will be parked in a remote area with no witneses, which gives them plenty of time and very little risk of being disturbed or caught.

There is therefore a significant risk in caves carrying drainage from farm land, stables or quarries. anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) information Thu, 28 Jan 2021 15:09:08 +0000
