I was visiting a client in
Port Pirie last week and noticed a near-new-looking small excavator in the workshop (it's a hydraulic business that works on all manner of machinery). I asked the bloke what had happened to this "new" machine.
He said the owner had left it on a job site over the weekend and some @rsehole had taken the air cleaner apart and filled the cavity with dirt and put the cover back on. Exit one motor!!!
They've also had a spate of the usual damage caused by sugar or dirt placed in diesel tanks.
Just a warning to those who own and operate machinery..... be careful

Have a similar problem around
Brisbane.
Friend use to run a dog security business for that purpose, to protect construction sites at night and to deter joy riders/vandals.
He had to be careful though since a trained dog is considered similar to a weapon from what he said. So if some one came over the fence towards him, he could use the dog to protect himself. i.e. any bites or damage had to be on the front of the person, not behind.
Evidently took a while to train the dogs to tackle the unwanted person the right way :o0
