    A school in Tuam that my kid goes to had the oil robbed over the weekend.... Apparently this is very common in the Tuam area so householders and businesses beware... Any one know anything about this??

    Well I don't know anything about a school in Tuam that your kid goes to, however there is a big thread on oil being removed from residential tanks in the Galway City forum

    It wasn't me! :P

    But on a serious note I have seen an increasing amount of coverage in the media regarding this problem. I think you can get a lock for your oil tank, but even this will not deter these people as they have also been known to break tanks or connection on tank to get at oil.

    People like this seem to be always one step ahead of the law. Apart from installing 24hr cctv and/or a pack of barking wild dogs of some sort at the gate, im not sure how else this practice can be stopped!

    We just have to be vigilant and stop feeding them dogs grrrrrrr

    Not just oil. Someone drained all the diesel from my friend's tractor AND digger overnight. This is the second time it happened.
