Sorry to hear that Hag.

Will increasingly become a problem as people become desperate for cash.

My jack russell and jack russell/chihuahua hybrid might be noisy fookers but they have saved my van/gear on a number of occasions. They go mental if they hear slightest noise near the house.

Bugger, a man and his tools should never part, i'd rather my missis was stolen than my kit. Are you insured? Plenty of dossc@nts in your part of the world looking for an easy buck

Sorry to hear that haggistini :( - keep an eye on eBay / Gumtree for your gear, you would be surprised as to how much ends on there within a week or so of going missing.

bad patter Haggi, a good friend of mine who does away by himself had his lock up and his van robbed all in the one go and 10 days later the whole lot was on gumtree as a job lot! needless to say, he made a phonecall and a few more and got all his gear back :) Rare, but it does happen

My power tools got nicked a couple of years ago. Insurance company didnt give a sh*t. Told me if they were on the back of the transit they would pay out, but because they were locked up in the shed they won't.

Lucky f*ckers came in the one weekend the farmer was away in france, every other time he is down there with his shotgun.
