Had van robbed other night . Everything I owned in last 20 odd years since I started was in. ( blame builder if his job was ready stuff be on it) not bothered bout electrical stuff to be fair it's trowel and stuff I.m gonna miss .



Anyway new van time . Don't want another transit . Do any of you manage in a smaller van . And what swb vans do you get 8 x 4.s in
 
That's sickening mate, had same thing not long after I started on my own self employed. Cops no help just crime number for insurance ! But I found out who took it and sorted things out myself.

Good shout that mate. I've got x4 deadlocks on the van x1 van vault - van backed up against house - house lights up like a christmas tree with any movement - high def cameras with bright night LED - front/rear/side and wired alarm system and I take a holdall of main power tools in at night. Never leave machine in van.

Throughly disagree mate, you get alerted instantly when someone is trespassing on your property and at the very least they are a useful deterrent. Thieves will move on to the next place that’s easier pickings.

Gavin will probably get his watch back as it was stolen. Should have kept it and changed his name to gavin. Oh what good it would be to be 21 again hector.

Cctv is useless. It's only a deterrent for the chancer.
These gangs don't care, their blatant, watch some of the kids nicking motorbikes in London, Broad daylight with people watching.
Spectators filming so they can put it on Facebook instead of getting together and chasing them off, crazy world!

Exactly that mate. Flooring guy I know had his van broken into with a coach load of people parked next to it. Not one did anything.

It's because the law deters us from helping now, by intervening it will probably end in contact and injuries, it's easier for the police to charge you and make money from a fine than charge some smack head that has sweet fa.
Police force in my opinion no 1 objective fining Joe public and making money then dealing with crime second.
Dealing with shoplifting and burglaries right down the pecking order.
