Turf wars have erupted after daring lawn raiders stole a family’s front garden.

Father-of-two Steve Woolnough was astonished to wake up one morning… only to discover the late-night thieves had stolen his beloved lawn.

Mr Woolnough, 54, of Ipswich, Suffolk, had laid the 100sq ft astroturf to spruce up his home’s appearance.

But now he has been left with a £250 bill to replace the artificial grass after it was pinched under cover of darkness.

He said: ‘I’m absolutely seething over it, I really am. 

‘How dare someone have the cheek to steal what I have had to work hard for.

‘You try and make your house look nice and someone comes along and steals what you have got.’

The gang struck between 10.30pm on March 19 and 6am the following day.

Police forensic experts scoured his looted garden after footprints were left behind by the thieves.

‘I have had it in my garden for the past six years,’ said Mr Woolnough.

‘During the small hours, someone decided their need for it was greater than mine.’

Villains have tried to take the fake turf before but gave up because of the weight of the material.

Mr Woolnough said this time the crooks professionally planned the raid from start to finish.

‘Whoever did it knew what they were doing because they knew the weight of it,’ said the grandfather-of-four.

‘I have not had my garden stolen before – it’s quite strange.’

Mr Woolnough, a systems IT consultant, said he won’t put down artificial turf again unless he installs CCTV cameras.

Police are appealing for witnesses as they hunt the lawn looters.

A Suffolk Police spokeswoman said: ‘This is a very unusual incident.

‘It would have taken some time to remove such a large quantity of astroturf from this garden and needed a vehicle to take it away.

‘Officers want to speak to anyone who may have seen any suspicious persons or vehicles in this area [at the time].’

I would look to the Council Leaders…..
I read a DM article previously where a family put astroturf down, but the Council did not like it (as his lawn looked the best on the street) and ordered him to remove it, fining him daily until he did. This just sounds way too well-planned and professionally executed to be some random thieves.

Strange indeed. Some people will steal anything that isn’t nailed down.
Like these dummies… google “thieves steal concrete parking” .

out of all the things to steal…

I know this is bad but I can’t help but find it really funny. How random! Were they just walking past and noticed, “Hey man, that’s some damn good looking grass…..let’s nick it, yeah?” “Yeah, I could use a nice sized bit of grass!” WHY!?

The grass is certainly greener on the other side of that fence…

It’s the end of the world.

I asked a friend what his preference was grass or astroturf he said that he had never smoked astroturf.

Report abuse

Round here they’d have nicked the soil as well.

Sod that Yorkshire turf is far better.

Lawn snatchers, rotten sods. Or not, as in this case.
