Stolen Vehicle & Gear - My turn

I think everyone on this forum knows that at some point in the next 5 years they will be starting a thread under this catergory....
Anyway Land Rover Defender 300tdi, with gear went last night with various saws in 66's 44 26 20. The land rover was for sale and was worth about 3k will probably only get 2k from payout
I am glad that a popular tree surgeon from Colne who frequents this forum told me on an arbtalk get together to change my tool insurance to an old for new policy ,so not as gutted that 2 66's went which were only 3 months old.
Cant remember his name but he has this ridiculous unimog set up with a massive 14m crane on a trailer, it will never catch on.

Sorry to hear that mate, hope they find the sods and castrate them. Hope the insurance pays out quickly.

Re: Stolen Vehicle & Gear - My turn

Thieving scum!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So glad you have insurance mate and its not going to be a devastating hit (of course a grand is still a lot to loose)

What gets me real annoyed is that these no marks don't know whether your insured or not and could be taking away your very lively hood, when caught they should have thief tattooed on their forehead!!
