Hi everyone.
on Thursday i had a Worcester 18/25 heatslave boiler stolen from outside my shop in chislehurst, any help on this would be grateful.
it was delivered and outside my shop for about 20 minutes while i finished dealing with a customer and had time to make room for it. given the weight of this boiler including the weight of the pallet, i didnt expect it to be lifted.
any information that leads to the recovery of this product will be rewarded. you all know the value of this boiler and how little profit there is on them, this has cost me a lot of money, stupidly i didnt put aside my customer and bring the boiler in immediately

im sorry you wont see it again if you do its going to be in bits, and im sorry (my own opinion) but its your own fault, would you leave nearly 2k in pound notes sitting outside im sure your answer would be no

reality is i know this, im beating myself up with this, normally only baths get left outside, i had a customer in the shop who had been there for 4 hours discussing her kitchen and bathrooms, this had frazzled my brain, literally 5 minutes before she left it went,

i am aware i was stupid to leave it there, i am more interested in the people who took it, i park my car outside my house every night, doesnt mean i am leaving it there for someone to help themselves.

no but your car weights much less than a boiler and police wont be able to do anything as no clear faces as ive been through the same

Can you find out the serial number for the boiler? Might turn up if someone registers the warranty? Might not be the fitter but think the customer might!

 

[aqueous design]

i know, just doing everything i can to make myself think i have done all i can, an expensive lesson is learnt, and it wont happen again.

its an avenue i am looking into, the suppliers are trying to establish when they bought it from worcester.

126kg plus the pallet is was on.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

easy two man lift 63kg each plenty to hold etc

 

[Ray Stafford]

You have my sympathy. And whilst it may have been unwise to leave it there, this theft is not your fault.

The responsibility for the theft lies 100% with the thieveing scrotes who stole the boiler, and I hope that they drop it on their foot.

Stealing stock from a merchant has exactly the same impact on his business as stealing tools from a tradesman. And we take it just as personally.

im sorry you wont see it again if you do its going to be in bits, and im sorry (my own opinion) but its your own fault, would you leave nearly 2k in pound notes sitting outside im sure your answer would be no

No comparison there at all!

No comparison there at all!

i did say it was my opinion and on a main street

Sorry to hear about that, I feel for you as I Used to live in bromley and know what a nice place chislehurst is. Its a long shot, but I would suggest you find out the serial no of the boiler register it with Gas safe and the police and hope the Muppet sell the boiler whole and some fitter or customer tries to register it not known it was stolen.

It's an oil boiler.......

 

[townfanjon]

Any cameras anywhere ? , defo book it as a crime with the rozzers, if it turns up ( long-shot I know ) you cant claim it because you never told them it was stolen .

 

[aqueous design]

the link on the original post shows the cctv of them taking it, and i have another of them arriving on the corner, but no number plate visible, i have reported it to the police and they have emailed me to say someone will contact me asap. So probably sometime next week. figured i would get the cctv on the net to try and create bit of awareness.

 

[townfanjon]

Sorry didnt do the link lol .

I'm sorry Aqueous Design, but I wouldn't hold out much hope. I have CCTV of people running into one of our warehouses, taking a boiler off the shelf, and dashing back out, shoving it in a van, and driving off. Its happened about 4 or 5 times to us, and probably 50 times across the south east to various merchants in the last year. The police go through the motions, but if no-one is hurt, its a low priority crime - just like nicking tools from vans. One day, we'll catch one of the b'stards, and that day the cctv might just malfunction briefly.

+1 but if someone tries robbing me tools again there will be some shallow graves and lime also and thats after ive had my fun with them

 

[drip-dry]

leaving a boiler in the street or leaving shutters open...you are asking for trouble...if i take a old boiler out and leave it outside ,its gone within 15mins,so a new one has no chance...... get real.....

Which is why the thread is open.

Nah.

Lots of people take old boilers out and leave them on the pavement for the scrappies. Its not the same thing as taking a new, boxed, unused product. In urban areas, lots of shops struggle with space, and have to take deliveries over the pavement - that doesn't mean that they are fair game for theives. The attitude of "its your own fault" just legitimises and excuses theiving ball-bags.

"Honestly your honour, if Mr plumber didn't want me to steal his copper and spend the money on drugs, then he shouldn't have left such valuable property in a tube on top of his van, protected only by a sub-standard lock. I respectfully submit, your honour, that this negligent attitude constituted an invitation to help myself, and that therefore not only is the copper my just deserts, but Mr PLumber owes me compensation for cutting my finger on his cheap-skate lock..."

and put a 'no running' sign up in the warehouse, that'll make the buggers think twice!

But seriously, that's pretty unlucky. I suppose you can't leave anything anywhere without some scum bag trying to nick it.

True 'nuff.

 

[drip-dry]

so the thieves did him a favour in fact nicking the boiler ,as he was taking over the public pavement with boxs and deliveries,restricting access for pendestrians,forcing them on the road,to get knocked done and suing him or partial sighted folk,walking into the obstacle course outside his shop ....and suing..for a lot more than the cost of the boiler...

Fit feckers - i struggle to run with a pocket full of change.
Respect where respects due !

Psst.....just maybe they are part of the problem. If they would get off their fat arses they might catch someone. ( Edit crime figures are down my arsz, reporting figures are down because people know nothing gets done so why bother reporting it and politicians don't live in our world )
Its well gone so get over it. Ther aint nothing in the world bringing it back even if plod gave a ***.

 

[hydrotherm]

Sorry to see this buddy, will keep you informed if I hear this being offered around, I am just down the road in Sidcup. They will have a job moving an oil boiler round here, might try and shift it through Gumtree or E Bay.

 

[gmartine]

I looked up the shop on google maps and I see you have a few plumbers around you...might be worth a visit or a call.
