Was just getting some petrol from Thurso to put in my quad parked on the drive in Halkirk but when I got home the quad had vanished.
I don't usually see the quad as I get home in the dark from the croft. The quad could have been gone for days. My wife said she never really gave it any thought as she would have thought I took it back to the croft.
It's a blue kids quad Raptor 110cc with fitted tow bar. My only means of getting water out to the pigs on warmer days when they can drink well over 100L a day.
Gutted as I will now have to carry the water out to them although I suffer from chronic back pain! I also have a large pile of firewood that needs moving, which I now have to carry rather than pile up in the trailer...
As if life wasn't hard enough as a lone crofter without machinery, they take the only thing I managed to buy to make my life a little easier.
Shame on you !
