We get a fair bit of thievery yeah man...

it's really disheartening too as often i was serving them and found them some sick things and then they nick em...

i got a couple of dubstep regulars that i am starting to believe steal the cds lol....very sad but i will pounce on em!...

dub echoes keeps getting nicked as it's 16 quid...fuckers

we do pretty good against target and for the last 2 weeks have been the best in our region!

numbers are hard though...missed it by 3 grand on sat but it was a mad budget..
