So sorry to hear this,wish I could help ,maybe grow some seeds for you or something.We had someone came into our garden a few years ago in the night and kick down all our flower pots. Had to go out and buy all new pots and soil .
Aww thankyou, that's really kind. It is so disturbing knowing they have been in my space but my main worry is are they going to come back. They may have seen all the power tools etc in the other shed and gardening equipment & golf clubs etc.its cost a fortune that I couldn't really afford for Extra locks, alarms etc. I just hope it does the trick. I am so disgusted with the people that can do things like this.i am disabled due to bad back and a little bit of gardening is all I can manage and they have spoilt thus for me.i won't give in though. Thanks again for your kind words. Xx

... You've won yourself a gardening security set worth £50! ...
I wonder what a £50 Garden Security Set actually comprises.
Homebase offer something called a Garden Security Set, for £26. As far as I can make out, that's a piece of strong wire/cable and a padlock.
Several of my neighbours have had sheds ransacked, mainly by people looking for, and taking, power tools, and bikes.
I've had nighttime intruders in my own garden on 3 occasions during the past few years. I have some garden alarms. They use infra-red detectors. They are not cheap, but they are effective. In my experience, once a burglar knows they have been detected, they're off. I have not had anything stolen. So far. Touch wood.
You may think a proper alarm is expensive. But in my opinion, they are well worth it, for the peace of mind. I wouldn't be without one.
Ha, ha! That's sod's law that you have won a free garden security pack, after you have already bought and installed one yourself! At least you can be super secure in your garden now and relax at night. I'm sure that now it is May you have been busy with seeds that are now showing and hopefully all that nasty business is behind you. Well done for continuing and fighting back.Yeah!
Winning a gardening security set is painfully ironic Lucy. So sorry to hear about your break in. In my experience, the thieving scumbags of this world will take anything, whether they really want it or not. Last year someone actually lifted a load of newly planted hedging from outside our property! Claiming on the insurance would only have pushed up our premium, so we had to fork out again. We have security cameras all over the house and garden, and now have them up outside the house, in case these low lifes try it again. I'd love to catch these people, wouldn't you! Good for you, re picking yourself up and re-seeding. Hope you've got some helpful friends and neighbours.
