I definitely would not advise informing my neighbours,as like jelly bean has posted,we have had everything which is not bolted down, stolen from our property.
Some of the things stolen have been so large they would not fit in a car or normal size van,but have been walked away and I beleive are still close by.
We have just visited to find our old tractor had the fuel tank drained and the contents stolen,even though it was nearly empty and full of water !
