gutted all your kit is gone :(

Great.
If you don't get kit back use it as opportunity to get better kit.
-
cheers. I was very emotional and when i went back to place i stole it from i didn't really know what to do with myself. I wanted to crack heads but as it was in a car park couldn't be sure it was these people that done it. hence waiting for the finger prints...I got to look round the guys unit though for my gear but nothing so wait and see.
-
Great.

If it wern't for the distinctive writting mate the van wouldn't of been spotted so it has its advantages to ;)
Had a 800 litre pure freedom delivery.
2 hose reels
2 brodex 18ft Hydra ally
1 SL2 42ft
Loads of hand tools, buckets, boabs etc!!

nearly 24 hours since i got my van back and STILL the police haven't been out to finger print it.
What do i pay my taxes for i'd like to know?
>:( >:(
-
thats a joke m8 totally >:( >:(
-
as far as they are concerened you have it back, so what is the problem, the van will be cover in fingerprints,
-
that is not the case. i have just this second spoke to them on the phone and they have appologised because it has been left hanging and no-one has picked it up ::) It gets better.
To answer your question there are a number of finger prints on the adhesive where they have taken off the vynil so just bow and call me chief inspector big balls ;D
-
chief inspector big balls ;D
-
well done mate, hope you find the gear you had stolen aswell, best bet mate is scan ebay where half the stolen stuff goes as its nearing xmas. :-[
-
Nice catch Steve CM - I agree the police are worse than useless on autotheft - I've had several cars nicked in the past; it is very very frustrating.
-

i have only been checking every hour since it happened ;)

frustrating isn't the word!
i feel like i need to be doing there job
-
well done on getting the motor back, been following your situation over the past few days.
maybe some guys can help you out with some spare kit????
-

No chance.
I went for their "buy it now" price.
-
Glad you got your van back Steve!!

lol...i can handle the jokes a little more now ;)
-

cheers mate
-
i think to get a result from the police they,ll have to find finger prints inside the van.
-
Glad you got the van back Steve. Hope they catch them scum >:(
-
Good result, glad to hear you have got it back.
Maybe its worth getting a full body wrap, as it will be very hard to take all of that off? and may deter the thieving numptys from nicking it again :o
-
When my wifes car was broken into Yobs/kids (bless their cotton socks) the door was almost bent in half, they used a screwdriver to smash steering lock >:(
All I got was a 6 foot copper looking down his nose at me, saying "It's kids... not much to go on, heres your crime number" :o
When I said "Is that it then?" he said "pretty much, that's what your insurance is for!" >:( >:( >:(
Basically the Dickson's of Doc Green (old London bobby of telly) who gave a.... are all gone! :'(
It's a nasty world full of nasty people :(
-
good news
-
well i finally got the van printed and DNA'd etc today. And what i found out that no-one has told me is there is a big sting going on at the minute as lots of these vans are being stolen (ie there is a racket going on). She said the police should of told me but no, that would be just to easy ;)
The tracker has gone back on my van. The locks and keys are being replaced and recoded (so no-one will know apart from the guy who programmes it)
I just need to speak with pure freedom tomorrow about getting a new system in the back.
The only thing that will be left of a while is the sign writting but then i may just get it done as it looks a little untidy :)
-
what ur insurance said?
-
:D
-
what ur insurance said?
my system and tools wernt covered. I'm booked in to see a solicitor next week but am losing the will to live. i just want to get me van back and running and get back earning proper doe!!
I have now insured all my gear with the public liability company i use.
-
Insurance seriously is a waste of time. They riggle out of every little thing they can, they dont mind taking your money for x amount of years, when my wife crashed our old car we were left with nothing and we were fully comp!
No wonder so many people drive round uninsured. Whats the point when something does happen they dont want to know!
Make a racket steve.

Could you just strap a tank in for now with a DI & pump box? get you going untill you're sorted?
-
i just rather have all the gear i had before. it was a nice set up and made light of hard work. Although i had a DIY before and it worked fine for the sake of a few hundred it was so much better

they say all publicity is good publicity ;) only thing is wish they had said to ring me if they knew of anything about my kit :(
-
Steve i used to live in mk where was it found?
-
blakelands. Outside a car mechanics. Who had nothing to do with it ::)

Just a quick one to say thanks to Alex gardiner. He approached me to see if he could lend me any poles to keep my going, I was knocked back totally with his generosity. He has done me an incredible deal on a long pole.
Goes to show what kind of bloke he is.
My hat goes off to that man! :)
-
totally agree,alex is a top bloke,had a good chat a few weeks back and he done me a deal.
