Clive Williams, who runs Jetis Car and Truck Wreckers on Fallon Street in North Albury, said he feels uncomfortable leaving the business each day, fearing what will happen overnight.

Mr Williams estimates the 15-odd recent incidents at the property have cost the business $30,000 to $40,000.

“We want these mongrels caught,” he said following the latest incident, which occurred early Sunday morning.

“They got in, got a Volkswagen van, and tried to ram it through the front gates.

“After that, they must have taken off.”

Mr Williams received a phone call from police about 4.30am.

He had to attend the property, located in an industrial area, and secure the damaged gates.

“I’ve had a gutful,” he said.

“I just want to catch them now.

“We nearly need to employ a full-time fencer, just from them cutting the fences all the time.

“It’s just ongoing.”

Mr Williams is considering getting guard dogs to patrol the business.

He has had burglars cut padlocks and fences, and people break into a shed.

A variety of items have been stolen, including tools, mag wheels, stereos, car parts, a pressure washer and other property.

“It’s costing the business thousands and thousands of dollars,” he said.  

“Things are tight enough already without these things happening.”

Sunday's incident damaged the Volkswagen, which had only been bought a day earlier. 

The impact caused the gates to crumple. 

Mr Williams said he was being targeted about once a fortnight on average. 

Car yards and wrecking businesses have been popular targets for break-ins on the Border. 

Albury Family Car Centre owner Mick Ristic told The Border Mail in December he feared the volume of thefts at his South Albury property would force him to close. 

He said on Monday the installation of cameras, and arrest of those involved in the burglaries, had helped to turn things around. 

“I haven't had any issues since then,” Mr Ristic said. 

“It was obviously very frustrating.”

While the cars taken from his business were recovered, Mr Ristic said stolen keys were still missing. 

The owners of a nearby four-wheel-drive dismantling business expressed similar concerns about thieves in 2014. 

Mr Ristic said regulations meant it was hard for thieves to sell stolen car parts, but said they could be put up for sale on sites like Facebook or Gumtree.
