On a nice spring day.

Two new cars - obviously ex the Iport at Rolleston driving into town nose to tail. A close look revealed one D plate on the front of the front car and one on the rear of the second....Nothing to see here officer.

Going South in Hornby - a 4 door big Toyota painted up in cop colours. Obviously down here for assessment. Refer recent thread.

On the main West, a Duzgo. Only the second I've ever seen running under it's own steam. Heading in to town so possibly over here for the VCC swap meet...

On the Bealey Rd, an unmarked and unidentifiable low loader (obscured plates) with a Daf pulling it. Empty but with the bearers for the load sticking out way over the width limit - no wide load boards - and doing at least 110kph...We've had a rash of digger thefts....

There's a black market for diggers?

Underground.

A hole load of them.

Heaps in fact.

No need to pile it on...

But yes, apparently there is money to be made dealing in hot diggers.

I guess the criminals are trying to shovel a hole load of cash into their pockets...

The hydraulic pumps alone are worth a pretty penny.
