Van done over, tools lifted

[jonnyswamp]

It's all going a bit vigillante round here ATM, quite a few farmers near me have had quads stolen and have put up a reward of a few grand between them, I don't think the pigs will need feeding for a while once one of the scroats chooses money over honour amongst thieves

 

[jonnyswamp]

Gutted for you mate. Hope you're well insured.

Unfortunately no

its no consolation mate but Plumbs are doing a couple of deals on a Fein multi tool and Marcrist DDM core drill, might be worth a look.

 

[jonnyswamp]

I had the Marcrist DDM, I've sent off my old Makita 4306? to be refurbed (clutch etc) so I'll wait and see what it's like with the PC 850 cores (which they left behind)
The Marcrist was good with the cores when new, but don't think it would last as long as the Makita, didn't feel as robust

Its a hastle doing it but I unload all powertools in doors at night, I just couldn't sleep even if I'd left a single one in there.

Ive said this again and i'll say it again fellas, aftermarket deadlocks for your van or slam locks, forget about what comes on the van as standard that wont stop anyone with access to the internet

Spend the £500 or more on a decent set of locks and sleep better at night or when your working in a rough area

You don't arf repeat yourself, I say repeat yourself :thinking:

Agree fully mate, getting locks fitted Sat morn on side and rear
Hadn't heard about the key fiasco before now, or maybe I did but chose tomignore it

I think most of us are guilty of ignoring the warnings until its too late, its just bad luck that choads get away with this kind of thing so much.

Feel for you mate hearing a lot of guys having their van done around here.

I bought a Vito with the locks already bust 3year ago - would be easy for them to get in but nobody has tried.
Do all the people who have had their vans broken into, leave them on a driveway or the street?? Mines on the street but right outside my house but you can clearly see it from the main road

 

[rocketmanbkk]

Mine was out the back of my house, cul de sac

Really annoyed me that did

Feel for anyone who has tools nicked. Really do

I fitted mine myself, I've also got a van vault for added piece of mind with the power tools

The only thing is to remember to lock them, but if someone gets past my vans standard locks and then gets past the dead locks and gets into the van vault they deserve my tools for there effort

sadly if its the mk7 transit? not the latest shape,one before thats seen everywhere,you dont need a key to break in,just a bread knife
