Default Re: Burglary and our hobby

Well I did pinch a 50's Ferranti wooden cased radio off the top a dustbin in Stroud a very long time ago (I did ask first!!)

I wouldn't think that general vintage radios and television sets would generate much interest. When a considerable number at the BVWS auctions struggle to get £20 or more, Their size and weight and possible pass-on value as well as their target audience would deter most I belive.

What would be more interest to a burglar would be workshop items such as battery power drills, hand tools ECT. Possibly things like digital multimeters which are small and light. Maybe oscilloscopes because they look expensive though the pass-on audience isn't going to be too great.
