Crooks not in the picture ob Farrell of Farrell Transport, Nottinghamshire discovered recently that there is no limit to what thieves will take Following a spate of incidents at his yard which included curtains being slashed and culminating in the theft of a lorry two years ago, Bob decided enough was enough and forked out 110,000 on a state-of-the-art security surveillance system. Now Bob could sleep peacefully in his bed at night secure in the knowledge that all was well How wrong he was, because just recently thieves broke in and stole the security cameras! It seems the perpetrators had been lying in wait. At 2.30am a driver went out in a lorry and at 2.45am the thieves struck. They stole the cameras by climbing up the backs of the poles thereby evading detection. Bob has been told that this is an increasingly common occurrence It is likely the cameras, worth 11,300 apiece, are stolen by criminals who sell them on for 150.00 a time to feed their drug habit. As Bob says: "It leaves you a bit sore really" Putting it mildly I think Bob.

This professional ice hockey team is sponsored by Scania and as well as winning the national title they have also been victorious in the Southern Conference title and the sport's Play-off Championships. Coming from Sweden, Scania knows a thing or two about ice hockey as managing director Ulf Bundell explains; "We were confident we would be able to spot a potential winning team in the UK which I am delighted to say has proved to be the case with the Guildford Flames." With the flames on this winning streak the competition on the ice just simply melts away before such formidable foes.
