any one lost a shackle

<< < (3/3)

thermidorthelobster:
After reading this I went to check mine were still there.  (They were.)  I keep mine quite tight (rather than backed off) so in theory they'll only come off with a screwdriver (also helps stop people nicking them).

I see plenty of ratchet straps lying around the roads, and I'd have thought a ratchet handle would have done as much damage as a shackle, so it does seem surprising this has happened.

I would have thought the chances of anybody coming forward are fairly remote.

Boggert:
You'll never find who did it and to be honest its an accident, just one of the terrible things.

Evilgoat:
This was just down the road from me. I heard that a metro had landed in a ditch but nothing else. Was wondering why that would close the road for so long untill i found out. Aparently the pin ended up in a lorry wheel according to that article.

There is a HUGE scrapyard on that road who always have stuff moving about, theres also a few quarries and hauliage firms based round there too and its a shortcut to the M3

I doubt the owner even knows its gone but I know I checked mine the following morning. I've heard of Cats-Eyes doing this before though.
