Stolen saws from the truck

[Paul Smith]

Heads up, had a couple of saws stolen from inside the truck whilst we were loading to go! N13 6 DL. Must have been away from the truck 45 seconds max! My 200T and a firms 365 special.

 

Words can not describe how pissed of I am!

 

Be careful.

not another,this is getting a bit repetitive,sorry to here that mate.

No one will be excused from not protecting their kit. I have heard read the same type of post a Hundred times if I read it once. The theifs are constantly looking for a easy mark, don't let the theifs get your kit. I would love to come over and catch some of these folks lifting all this kit, boy could I make an example of them if they were lucky enough to remember their names by the time I got done.

There were 3 of us constantly loading the truck which was 5M away from the house which we had to go through. As I was contract climbing for another company my saw is not covered by their insurance!

 

Ordered a 201T from Justin, don't know if its as good as the 200 and the Husky isnt out yet!

Lots of thefts, and attempted thefts around here atm. I know of dogs having been poisoned and gas axes used to gain entry. Also they were sniffing around at my bosses last night.

Sounds like you will be in the market for your own insurance coverage for your kit.

No adays it is a case of if you havn't got someone actually right there the whole time you are a target,they can here us working for half a mile or so,for most of the day,like flies to a jam pot.

They know we are tired & bussy,they dont get punished much if they get caught,they are desperate mostly,so we are vulnerable.

I don't wish to be rude, but this is stating the bleeding obvious!!!!!!

 

And if none of us ever left stuff unattended nothing would ever be stolen, but in the real world its not always possible or we make a mistake.

Id love to set up a booby tap for them, something that would cause them a great deal of pain and suffering , and me a lot of satisfaction, anyone any ideas? mind you, you'd probably be done for it by some backwards law.
