Hi all.

Apologies for slightly off-topic, however I've just been informed that
the West Brecon Cave Rescue Landrover has just been stolen. A
particularly cowardly act against a volunteer 999 organisation has
potentially put lives in jeapordy in South Wales.

If anyone sees a white 110, registration X338 DCU, possibly with CAVE
RESCUE down the side (unless they've painted it already) please report
it to the police urgently.

Thanks for all your help.

Let's hope the little feckas get an interest in a bit of caving - then
get into some difficulty...

Nice idea, bit no. The first would be DC-uh and the second DC-ee.

Indeed. Having done a lot of caving when I was younger (and slimmer) I
regard the work of the Cave Rescue guys with a deal of respect. How anyone
could steal their stuff and vandalise their kit is beyond me. Problem is,
if these idiots got an interest in anything at all (caving, knitting,
archaeology, whatever) they would stop being idiots.

To good for 'em and puts the *professional* rescue team under to much
pressure preform the rescue despite really wanting to drop down the
nearest hole.

I think a dark night something small and hard meeting the odd kneecap at
high speed is a better idea and if that fails to bring the message home,
the accidental inclusion of baseball bat.

No no no far too tame,

Use a cheesegrater to produce a graze, nothing too serious, use the small
grater setting, then rub in Battery acid. Do it on the thigh or chest and
hurts like mad and leaves the wound red and inflamed for weeks..

A buggered knee cap lasts (or prehaps doesn't) a lifetime...

Gas powered soldering iron up the japs eye. That's the preferred solution to
car scrotes round 'ere.

Good coverage on BBC Wales news tonight at 6.30pm. Certainly looks a fine
vehicle. With all the hi-viz graphics and chequerplate, it's pretty
distinctive and would be easy to spot - even broken down into panels.
Reporter reckoned police said it was likely to have been taken as a prank.
While that seems unlikely, I can only hope it's true.

On a slightly odd note ... I'm sure we could all club together and get them
a tracker sub? Viable?

They've set up a page where donations can be made via the Charities Aid
Foundation (which presumably means they will get the extra tax relief as
well).

The link is

https://secure.givenow.org/charitysearch/CharityDetails.asp?Src=CAF&ID=645215&
SID=595760&OrgName=West+Brecon+Cave+Rescue+Team&GUID=

or

I'll make sure the tracker suggestion gets through - I think it's likely to
be pretty high on the agenda once a replacement vehicle is obtained.

Nick.
