The latest theft on Tuesday night saw them lose about $6000 in goods to offenders who appear to be targeting specific items and have a knowledge of their premises and the four-wheel-drive industry.

The thefts have frustrated the Deuchars, forcing them to the point where Mrs Deuchar has questioned her resolve to remain in the industry.

She fears if the thefts continue, their business will continue to suffer because the losses are having an ongoing impact, forcing them to close.

Those who have had their businesses or homes broken into will empathise with the frustration felt by the Deuchars who have been the victims of repeated break-ins and feel powerless to do something about it.

The focus needs to be on identifying those responsible and bringing them before the courts for an appropriate punishment.

That requires the right lead for police investigating the crimes.

For those who see something out of place, that information may prove the vital clue that solves these crimes.
