WOW - that was hard work to get through - should've got myself a pen and paper for the math though 
ITs a pain in the *** when things get stolen - some people just see opportunity where it shouldn't be knocking - theiving tw@ts.
However, I'm glad I now no what a theodolite (sp) is - however, wtf is "trolling"?

So you've bought Yr1 4 @ 15K; Yr7 4 @ 17.5K; Yr13 4 @ 18.5K; Yr21 4 @ 24K, one per gang and you have 4 gangs.
That's 300K over 22 years, now assuming a year on year inflation rate of 2% that would equate to 15K in 1985 = £28431 today; 17.5K +6years = £24553; 18.5K +6Years = £21962 and £24000 today, so in real terms (todays money) you've actually paid out £395,784 over the 22 years.
Not forgetting that spare unit in the shed, at whatever that cost
If I've got the number of units wrong you'll have to forgive me for being "thick"

can't you just poke your head over the fence at the pikey camp - note a number plate and report that one to the police as being the one on the Van?
Even if you don't get the theodolite back you'll get a laugh out of annoying the pikeys

People are getting confused over how many theodolites you've actually bought

I'm sorry to hear about this............. thieving tw@ts 
Doubt you'll see that again, prob get offered round the local building sites for a round of drinks before ending up in a skip somewhere.
You'll have to get the lads to start chaining the tripod up to something, like I now have to do after my 5603 was stolen.

Can't remember which it was we used (I've since left the company) we used them at Sellafield, they're all pointing at prism's set up on all the chimney's to see how far they lean in high winds - and you really don't want know how far they do...

welcome to another chilled out scoobynet thread..
Bloody Gyps,they most likely didn't know what they were stealing.Because if they did they would of already knew that it's useless without the other piece of equipment that it needs to work correctly..unless the pikes already have the other bit of equipment for it.
I think a national millitary Boot camp run by Ex Servicemen/women would be better,like lads Army,or shove them in the effing Glass house
.that will sort the yobs out..
