Title: Stolen Machine
Post by: Raymondo on May 19, 2010, 12:53:08 pm

A fellow carpet cleaner in Shrewsbury had his van broken into over night.
He had his Airflex made by Cleansmart taken plus hoses and bits and pieces stolen
He has not had the machine long.
Let’s keep a look out for a machine that may  be offered on the cheap that may be stolen.
Also at the moment he can’t work, so if anyone has a portable that they can loan to him can they let him know?
I don’t know whether he want me to put his mobile number on the forum but my number is 07970 037185

My back up machine is a 400 psi Ninja, 2 1/2 years old, sat in my garage near warwick, would this be any good to him?

Thanks Philip

I will see when cleansmart can get me another, I am quiet at the moment so not desperate for a week or so, if any longer I will phone you.

Thanks again

Really sorry to hear this >:(
 Makes me realise that humping my machine and bits and bobs is worthwhile every night even though it is a real pain.

What possible use will this machine be to the scumbag who stole it and r how would he sell it without IT coming to us fellow carpet cleaners attention.

 >:(I can put up with most things but theft really ticks my boxes! Obviously a lot of folks have offered help, i'd like to do the same. Where in the country are you? Things like this makes us all aware of our insurance.

Good luck mate, consider my eyes peeled.
