Van broken into - all power tools stolen

[GasmanxxxR1]

Word of warning, the van was dead locked all round with expensive dead locks http://www.locks4vans.co.uk/products_locks_deadlocks.html

No problem what so ever the side door was just bent back and in they go.

The locksmith is now saying have a Clifford alarm fitted in stead of locks

Stay safe out there and dont get complacent, ive lost £2000+ of power tools plus assorted blades drill bits and knick-knacks i had picked up

Oh mate I feel your pain. Where abouts are you?

 

[Phil]

Where was the van parked? are they insured?

Total scum

 

[hammers4spanner]

B stards! !
When did this happen ?

 

[Chalked]

Feel for you mate.

 

[Masood]

Oh mate, that's sickening news to read. Stealing tools is pure scum. Whereabouts are you based? Post a list of the missing stuff, we can all share it on facebook, other groups, maybe someone will see it up for sale somewhere and can alert you?

 

[PlumbBobBob]

Oh man that's not good even worse this time of year

 

[leelister6]

There are times when sharia law makes sense. In a case of stealing a working man's tools the amputation should be without anaesthetic.

Make him choose between both hands chopped off or 25mm auger bits bored through his knee caps and left in poking through the back. Lets see him back them out without a drill.

That made me cringe just thinking of it.

Gutted for you mate. It's far to common an occurrence these days.

2010 Ford Transit parked in a carpark opposite my house, about 20 meters from the front door. Dewalt tools like impact driver, combi drill, sds drill, circ saw, recip saw, multi cutter, angle grinder, jigsaw, makita core drill, and a £650 Kewtech multi-tester.

Gutted isnt the word, im insured for about £1000 of it.

Thing is that when i had the locks installed on everydoor, including the cab, i was told that the van was extremely secure and that any theif would have trouble getting in. Looks like it about 30 secs. I religously locked the doors every night too.

Take all your power tools off your van, every night !!!!!!

 

[Phil]

So this is another Transit with its door peeled back?

I don't leave a screwdriver in my van at night, I wouldn't dare. It all comes in with me.

Had the garage opened back in August and they took a couple of old powertools but all the good stuff was inside.

 

[leelister6]

The tw@ts will still bend the door down to have a look inside! The Transits seem to be easy to get in cos of the height of the doors above the hinges/sliders. Deadlocks fit quite low down if I recall so don't stop em bending doors.
Got a Stoplock van lock on back doors, Matlocks deadlocks on sliders and £400 worth of Clifford alarm/immobiliser fitted to me Scudo, power tools locked in a steel box in back. Gettin ferkin ridiculous, we should be allowed to nail gun the scumbags to telegraph poles, cover em in honey and unleash the Fire Ants!!!!!

[GasmanxxxR1]

As you can see, minimal damage done to pop these open

 

[gassafe]

Iv got locks4vans on my transporter... the side deadlock only goes into body work a few millimetres so I agree easy to force it & bypass that! I also have the good stuff in a van vault & an alarm system, with the van under cctv on the drive

Basingstoke mate

Where abouts in Basingstoke? I live up near the hospital.

 

[Rickster123]

Are you insured for the tools? I've got a spare Bosch multi drill 110v and transformer if you get stuck?
