Smackheads nick first, look what it is later. If they get caught, they get a caution and/or a holliday in Greece.Makes you sick.

Sorry to hear that mate, hope your daughter gets well soon.

Sorry to hear that. If I was local to you, then you would have been welcome to some of my spare gear to get you going again.

I hope your daughter is making a good recovery.

So long as the holiday is in the middle of a Greek riot zone then it's probably OK.

This sort of stuff sickens me. 
When they steal tools it's not just the value of the tools but the income lost replacing them.  Apart from that, I dislike the feeling of violation.  Never had my vehicle broken into but my flat was burgled many years ago.

Hope your little one is ok, and gets better soon m8  ;)

hope your daughter makes a full recovery mate.this is the last thing you need at the moment.

i had a lad try and nick my ladders a few years ago!luckily they were padlocked on my roof rack.i chased the little bugger but he was too fast for me and it was 2am! ::) ::)

at least you didnt have an 30ft SLX and a pure freedom trolley in the back!you would be really gutted then!

anyway best wishes and i hope your new gear turns up a.s.a.p

regards

dazmond
