My brother Brock had the diesel fuel syphoned out of his race truck the other day, along with all the vehicles on a couple of local farms. The travellers are all heading for the Dorset steam fair this weekend.
Wonder what's in the van.

I deliver to a mobile home park Rick. The travelling ones have already left for Dorset so are presumably in a layby or somebody's field halfway there.
