what have the cavies been saying that's puerile?

I still reckon that a collection to put a tracker on it would be a nice idea. Not that I'm offering to organise it, of course, unless no other volunteers can be found anywhere.

Yes, great news. Didn't see any puerile stuff on afl, though. Are the speleologists going soft?

Just a smattering of comments such as "perhaps you should lock it up better" and all that kind of thing.

The cutting comments were not here - the OP posted, or rather cross-posted from elsewhere. There were a few nasty 'why wasn't it locked up safe' comments from (yes, purile) lazy feckers who do bugger all else than demand everyone else revolve around their needs whilst doing bugger-all to actually make any positive contribution in any way (or so it is said, etc.)...

(Hot discussion at the local Mountain Rescue meet on Sunday apparently

- I was otherwise busy missing the County Durham 'unofficial' after having caught that W.O.R.K virus thingumie).

I wonder if that was why the thieves left it in a forest with the doors locked and the alarm set.... Just to see if the police tracked it down because a hidden tracker had been activated. I understand (from too many late night documentaries) that it is standard practise to leave the vehicle you have stolen just standing for a few days to see if Mr Plod turns up to the tracker signal. If he doesn't show in a few days it is safe to assume what you have nicked doesn't have a tracker and you can get on with taking it to bits or selling it on or whatever.

Anyway, glad they got it back.

I gathered - which was why I asked, as I'm far too lazy to go and look in uk.rec.guineapigs.

Theres a collection going for a tracker, organised through the mud club guys.

It would be even nicer if Tracker were to donate one themselves!
