Seen this on Facebook so thought it would be worth a share as these are very reputable companies
From Brian Macgregor this morning ...
“£100,000worth of equipment missing from our peat bog operation at Moy this morning. Called police and discovered I was through to a control room in South Wales. Tried again and got through to Burnett Rd Police station. Explained I was in a peat bog with no post code and got promise that someone would call me back. After more than one hour I drove down to Burnett rd to find the police officers sent out to investigate were sitting at Daviot wondering what was my post code.Now you do not se this happening on CSI. Gave statement to officers who felt CID might have to be involved, after their report was sent to CID. I am frustrated thinking my diggers etc are heading for export. On my way home I get information saying that my equipment was seen on the back of some wagons owned by COLIN LAWSON ABERDEEN viewed passing Kingussie around 7AM. I report this to reception at Burnett Rd and assured that police are active. I drive home but on the way I get another call from another of our haulage contractors saying my equipment is passing Blackford on Lawson's wagons but that I should tell Police to contact Stirling Police to draw the wagons off at VOSA at Stirling. Back to Burnett Rd where nobody seems interested in my progress until I threaten to communicate to police through Facebook. They then show interest but can't act as quick as that. No the matter would have to go past one of three Sgts on duty. I insist that Sgt George Coleman should not be allowed to be involved as I have a £142K claim against the Chief Constable alleging that Sgt Coleman had exercised malice against me when I was "framed" for stalking. I went home and phoned Colin Lawson where a Kevin Ryan refused to connect me to Colin or even give me Colin's mobile phone number. He refused to give me the mobile numbers for the wagon drivers. He asserted that his firm was acting under instructions from Strathclyde Commercials. I rang Strathclyde and was told that they had agreed to buy the diggers, dumpers four wheel drive tractors etc for £45K but while they had a sales invoice for the equipment they had no Bank details to transfer the cash into.They agreed that it now seems that they were conned by someone and would send me a copy of the sales invoice. The invoice lists the items. 22 tonne Dawoo long reach digger. 8 tonne JCB tracked digger. John Deere telescopic fork lift. Two JCB telescopic fork lifts. Two Muir Hill 4WD tractors. Roadless 115 4WD tractor and a Bowmag towed roller. Strathclyde was paying Colin Lawson £3K for the transport work so I begged Kevin at Lawsons to bring the equipment back and I would pay the transport but again he refused to help. On the invoice was a JCB JS 130 digger which I bought last year for £45K in Cambridge. It seems that when the gang couldnot start it because of its digital security code, every window in the digger was broken. A towed gritter had its draw bar cut by a grinding disc to free the Muir Hill tractor that was joined to it by a pick-up hitch. While Kevin might maintain that his workers were innocent participants in this heist, how did they not suspect that something was wrong with the situation? Plant and heavy equipment being lifted after working hours, after the access barrier to the bog had been cut open for access. Grinders cutting draw bars up and a JCB being wrecked in an act on vandalisim. Still missing is the 8Tonne JCB excavator that was on the sales invoice. Strathclyde reckons the seller must have sold it to someone else but CID figure they can't pursue this missing item till I furnish them with a serial number. I do not have a record of this serial number but I am confident that JCB store in Muir of Ord will have it. Aye cops and solicitors can all find 101 reasons to do nothing. Leaving Burnett Rd tonight I threw down a challenge. I had traced the stolen equipment within four hours, while cops had failed to find a post code. They failed to intercept Lawson's wagons that were transporting the stolen goods to the south. I suggested that I should post the matter on Facebook to see if readers could beat cops in finding the eight tonner. It is a medium sized excavator with wide tracks for working on peat. It has two new collars welded at the base of the main boom and an extension has been added to aid greasing the bottom boom bearing. Inside the rear window there might still be the name of the previous owner JOHN SMITH PLANT HIRE INVERNESS. Feel free to post information on here or phone me 07860939064, in confidence”
Good news John. Earlier this evening I got a phone call from a Facebook reader informing me that my eight tonner was maybe sitting in the Millerston Taxi yard Glasgow G336NL We contacted a relative one hour south of Glasgow who drove up to the City and took pictures of the machine allowing me to positively identify it because of a welding job that I had done on it last month. Taxi folk wanted to know all about our enquiries and seemed rather hostile. While waiting for police to arrive three cab windows were smashed. We phoned around for a salvage vehicle as police feared the machine might get torched. Phoned around and found an ignition key and machine is now away into safe custody and all within 24 hours of posting the appeal on Facebook. A mighty thanks to all who were concerned and involved in the cause. Cheers Bogbain
More good news. Report just in saying 22 tonne Daewoo long reach digger has been sitting in a lay-by on the old A9 at Dalwhinnie since Friday morning. Now need to ask Kevin Royan at Colin Lawson Haulage Aberdeen why he told me lies on Friday when he said that he had delivered all the equipment to Clydeside Commercials in East Kilbride.
