Avie and Flatcat are heading to the old factory site with Scout Parsons, answering a call for back up from his fellow officers




When they arrive at the site, they can see no one, just an empty police car




They drive around the car, but nobody is around. They begin to get worried.




Then they spot Andy over in the distance, using the ripper on the bulldozer to break up the old concrete hardstanding




The noise of the machine makes it impossible to speak, but they exchange welcoming waves, and Andy points them in the right direction

They continue driving through the desilate industial scrub land, until they come across some life




They leave the patrol car, and head over on foot to see what is going on




John explains that they found this secret hiding place whilst removing moving lumps of rubble. The booty still looks fresh




The police officers are making checks with the station

Gasp! An archeological find! They should leave the scene immediately! Leave this to the experts!

I just love the way flatcat (whats the word?) puts his head in the loot  !!! Fantastic Damo!!!

The police officers emerge, and report that the treasures were stolen from the town museum a week ago, and that they must be returned immedietly as they are very valuable and orf utmost importance to the town.




John is sent in to remove the last of the stolen goods, ready to load into Site foreman's truck




Site foreman reverses up his pickup, with Scout Parsons acting as banksman




The treasures are carefully packed into the rear of the truck, with the utmost of care to ensure their safe return to the museum




Scout parsons moves his patrol car, as the treasures set off, with Bob volunteering to be lookout in the back




The police officers lead the way

With everyone gone, Scout Parsons comes up with a plan to catch the robbers when they return (as they always do)




They follow him to his car




From the unsuspecting wooden crate in his boot, he pulls out a shiney police issue rifle with scope




Scout Parsons reverses his car up behind a remaining factory storage building, so that it is not easily seen




He points out a suitable ledge in which they should lay in wait




They ly low, so as not to be seen. Scout Parsons hands John his pistol



And they wait

[flatcat]

And sure enough, from the woods, come the robbers.

Look - it's Rosie robber, with a new partner in crime






They are angry to find that their loot has gone




They panic, thinking it's a trap, and race back up the path to the woods




*BEOW*

Scout Parsons fires the rifle in the direction of the woods entrance

The pair are frightened, and run back down towards the work site

[flatcat]

The robbers come across an empty loader, and lucky for them, the keys are still inside




They fire up the smoky diesel engine, with Rosie in shooting position




With an inexperianced operator at the wheel, the 14 ton wheel loader smashes through a porta loo as it picks up speed

[flatcat]

Scout Parsons hands the rifle over to Avie, while he goes to get his patrol car to catch them




The robbers head off at speed, heading towards the exit




Scout pulls out in front of the speeding earth mover, but it shows no sign of slowing down




The machines hurtles into the side of Scout's car, debris flying everywhere




The digger continues on at speed, turning round for another attack.

Poor Scout's car is badly damaged and won't start




A sitting duck, Scout fires as many rounds as he can at the digger which is now rapidly advancing on him at speed.

His bullets just bounce off the machine's giant bucket, whilst bullets from Rosie's gun pepper the side of the car
