Bush Tucker Man:
Well we were visited by the men in a stripey jumpers, masks & sacks bearing the word 'Swag' on Saturday night.

I didn't mention it last night as I was still annoyed :x

Some point between my leaving for work at 05:10 &SWMBO getting up at about 08:00, they got in.

Thankfully 'BTM Towers' was untouched, but the workshop was forced open :x

I got a phonecall at work to ask if I'd left the driveway gates open (but i park outside) & had I not locked the workshop??

So on arrival home, I investigated (wearing rubber gloves) and found that my cantilever tool-box had gone, socket set, a (burnt out :lol: ) cordless drill & charger, the BBQ (big damn 4foot long thing) & a patio-heater (6" tall!)

I've just been working out the replacement costs for the toolbox, using the Machine Mart & Maplin catalogues, and have come up with a figure for the items that just were in there of almost £300.00!

It's very annoying as I'd had the socket set for over 25years (a 15th birthday pressie)

Luckily they didn't try the garage, or they'd have found the father-in-laws  7-drawer tool chest that's full of Snap-On, Draper, all up to perhaps 2" sizes etc......
(he was in charge of the local bus company garage & had built it up over the years, but it's in my custody since he took aonther position)

My big (ie; very heavy, 35-40KG??) trolley jack was also in the garage

Curiously enough the cabinet with his air-tools & my drills, power-saws, various odds & ends was still closed :?


So I presume the next step is to re-contact the insurance company with lists

*************, make sure its all secure , they have a tendncy to return, perhaps move the valuables in doors for a while... utter scum..

dazzawhipple:
BTM,

Sorry to hear about that

Remember to upgrade the security and move stuff around some may come back.... for the new stuff

schuee:
Sorry to hear about it as well, hope the family are ok.

I know what I would do to the scroates who did this :twisted:
