Just hand my hand tools pinched...

[Ben-gee]

In an odd way that’s actually pretty decent of him, after a few days of guilt and wrestling with conscious he did the right thing. Can’t have been easy, catholic guilt?
Obviously goes without saying shouldn’t have done it, but moment of madness put right by careful thought- civilisation at work.

Now, go and get yourself that plastering trowel!

Or somebody asked him why some of his tools were labelled with 'mutley racers' name and he thought he'd get caught if he didn't return them PDQ.

Only happened once, in a cottage out in the sticks. Had left my Milwaukee radio, new digital shower and a handful of pipe and fittings. Broken in overnight, customer coughed for the costs as long as is wife didn't find out.
Never had tools go, apart from the ones I put down and cant find two minutes later.

Or the many spanners left under a cylinder

 

[Jim Goodenough]

Left plastic cutters above suspended ceiling, footprints under a bath, pipe slice rolled off cylinder the wrong way into an inaccessible corner, left my precious Knipex pliers on a job never to be seen again......

Thanks all. You are never going to believe this... the guy that pinched phoned me up and returned them. He was a builder who thought, lovely I shall have those. Said he had his gear stolen 2 months before. Went home, remembered how he felt when it happened to him and so gave them back. Nice one.

Good job my wife puts name tags on everything I tell you! HAPPY DAYS

Unbelieveable, well almost. The guy is still a ****.

Should of twated the ****

That's a bit strange to me. Why would he steal them in the first place?! What an idiot.

How did he get your phone number?

I am glad that you've got them back. It is the last thing anyone needs after this year!

 

[Phil]

Reminds me of when Victor Meldrew got a phone call from the burglar who broke in and stole his video recorder on how to set the programmer.

How did he get your phone number?

The Mrs sows his name into the back of very tool.
