Sorry to hear that Ronnie,
It's strange about being on here as on Wednesday 2 blokes were outside my house, I live in the middle of no where, looking at my van. My wife went out thought they were lost.
 Then a few hours later we were going out and the same car pulls up. I asked what's up driver puts thumb up and drives off.
Doesn't sound good.
Hope you get it back Ronnie.

Our vans seem to be "hot" just now. There was a spate of nicked vans a few months ago. Think we should all take every precaution. Hope you get it back quickly Ronnie.

Ronnie, that's gutting. Sorry to hear that. It's s relevant question what has been asked about if anyone on here knew you were going away.


Also, what was the vans registration?

Check out eBay for vans for sale and your local rag.

Try and get a picture of the model at least.

I imagine you've contacted the police.

And whoever is doing prank calls from a withheld number, you guys make me laugh. Pathetic is an understatement.

BTW. You'll be surprised at how many stolen vans are found.

it does sound dodgey even the ploice officer said they dont usually make this much mess,and it looks like they were looking for something.

i dont really have competitors......not that i know of but it seems strange that they take computer but tnot the laptop charger which it was attached too??? and how they had time mess the house up go upstairs trash bedroom all at 11 pm and them walk out the back round the front and drive off without being seen.??

i cant see the poice finding them or it, iv got more chance but god help if i do.

just wish they was man enoughh to do it while i was in!

I'm shattered frustrated and concerned that this wil cost be more £££££ in un paid debts also lose of new leads and customers.

Post by: Roy Harding on December 31, 2010, 09:15:20 am
Sorry to here that your van has been stolen Ronnie.

But its made me think, we all try and help each other and say what systems we have and post pictures of them.
We also have a link to a website so you can find out were we live. And in Ronnie's case said he was going away. Unfortunately there are people that just wait for such and opportunity. 

Perhaps a good reason to reconsider the use off personal messages again.

Hope you get things sorted Ronnie.

Ronnie,

I'm really sorry to read what has happened here.

Is there any way you can contact your customers to tell them what has happened? I feel sure they will not only feel for you, but they could perhaps be put on alert if they get somebody calling on them and saying you have sold the round or otherwise given up etc... just a thought.

I sincerely hope that out of this whole sorry mess lies a solution which more than compensates you for what you are suffering now.

John.

hi all, dnt know much about the wfp systems, but i have a degree in crimeolgy and forensics...

if it was fitted on x mas eve, by who??
prints from the house, also its easy to get a key copy from when the van was left to be fitted out.
insurance people will want the recent invoice for the fitment in case there is a faluse claim going on.

To be blunt though, its really either a faulse claim or its been taken as a result of info being past on here, so you's basicly given it away, i find the second hard to beleive though.

The people who were arguing on here not so long ago are prob none the wiser, the more you harp on about that welsh guy leights the more you'll throw the real truth.

In my opinion its a faulse claim, the machine was not covered as it prob was not in the van or was taken by the owner, as for the van, he could claim for it as the law states he would need insurance for it to be driven, but the tank, prob cash in and the other system be sold.
Double money for the owner...

Sorry but this thing really goes on.. A LOT

Not a great start to the new year for you Ronnie, sorry about your bad news mate, not sure if your van was signwritten or not ? but this is one of the MAIN reasons we never have ours done as no one knows whats in an unmarked van, and the ammount that went missing in Birmingham last year was unbeleiveable, and most were found but the systems were,nt.  >:(
Title: Re: Van stolen

Title: Re: Van stolen
Post by: ronnie paton on December 31, 2010, 11:47:19 am
Just to put that muppet straight ut was fitted at purefreedom andnits not a false claim ce see the mess if my house and day that youprick.

They took the keys from my house and drove off in van so any security they had the keys.

It wasn't sign written has was  a week old and with Christmas and that didn't have time.

If this was a false claim would it not of been a good idea to insure it bright spark?????

It comes to light there has been several attempted break in but the police have failed to inform neighbour hood.

I'm nit sure if it's a druggie or targeted but they weren't prepared ie uses my garden fork to get beadin off door and pop glass.

Police are doing next to nothing

I'm so sorry Ron, it's the not knowing who's paid and who hasn't, on top of any other outrage you must be feeling right now.

One lesson I take from this is to copy all round info onto a memory stick, and hide it where it won't be found.
The world we live in has changed a lot these last few years, and none of it for the better.
What hurts even more is knowing that if these illegitimate guys were caught, they would probably get off with a community service order or some other tame slap on the wrist.
Good luck with getting your stuff back mate.
Wouldn't it be great to be in the right place at the right time with, a baseball bat in your hand, or maybe not.

Thanks for all the positive depots, work wise I'm fine still got two vans the only problems is getting window cleaner pro back unto date.

I'm pretty sure the last save they will have is 3 months ago so got some paper work to do.

It more the hassle and the 5k I'll lose from system, I have to admit I could of prevented this maybe not the breakin but the van and lap top could of been left in lockup which is secure but...... I didn't think it would happen to me.

Next year will be a year of putting the wrong s right and no were near haproffitqble but after the next few months my head will be above water.

I wouldn't rule out it being a random break in.

My thoughts too.
I reckon the van may well have been an afterthought once they saw the key.
I've been burgled before and it's a horrible feeling that goes with it.  I had only just started window cleaning a couple of weeks before.  This was 1991 though.  Wayt before WFP vans and also way before I had internet access (there was very little internet about then and what there was usually consisted of text only due to modem speeds).

This is turning into a thoroughly distasteful thread.

I know we all have differences of opinion about various stuff and we fall
out, but this guy has gone a few steps too far.

His problem is that hopefully he's already made the mistake that will collar him, if he hasn't and carries on the way he is then he will.

Why are WC forums magnets for nutters? ??? We get the clever guys who can't spell the subject they have a degree in. We get trolly pushers from Sainsbury's who claim to be window cleaners, I love it. Now all we need are a couple of astronauts and the odd war hero from the Korean war and we have the full set. ::)

Ronnie,
So sorry to hear this has happened to you. Hope you get back on your feet soon so to speak. As the saying goes, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger :)
I know it is a long way of going through things, but at least you have got bank statements etc and know where your customers are, so you can start to build a database again. I know we are miles away, but it goes without saying if there's anything we can do let us know.

Quite agree Matt, be careful Ronnie. This matter should now be between you and your insurance company, not an open forum!

When you are burgled and then you replace goods, never shout about what you are doing and never, never leave the "marked up" empty boxes outside in view of anyone. It is known that opportunist "scum" burglars will revisit and maybe rob again as they see you have replaced with new items.......this can foul up any claims on insurance for obvious reasons. :)

Just had a look on the tools forum. It's been locked and apparently he was a wind up merchant on there. My guess is he's trolling for trouble again. The guy is obviously very simple but no-one with half a brain cell would put a genuine post like that on a forum shared by so many members here.

Ronnie I had a transit stolen about 15 years ago. 3 years later it was found on a pikey site. The police left it with the pikeys because they knew if they retrieved they'd just go out and nick another one.

In a sense, mentally, maybe it's time to give up on it and try your best to move on. Vehicle theft is very low on police priorities. Their main concern will be giving you a crime number, after that it's up to your insurance company.

your proberly right but for the last week iv scrolled the internet gave them leads but they cant  follow them through..........i just want to know who it was im sure they knew me in some capacity has i was away.

i should let go but it has effected me my personal life my business and me finacialy......im struggling more than i have for time and i proberly could of stopped the van being robbed by taking the keys with me.

i need a hot system for a contract iv got but dont think i can fund it at the mo.

Post by: weetot on January 10, 2011, 09:12:24 pm
I had a van nicked in 1994, just had it signwritten and paid £150 for a custom made roofrack to be specially fitted.

I was in a partnership at the time, and actually thought me partner had it at his house, as we used to share it.
It is a gut wrenching feeling lookin' out the window to see it aint there!
Only had it 3 weeks from a main dealer, though there was no system in it, just ladders and 2 buckets etc:.
It always made me wonder whether it was targeted or not, got a crime number off police, and they said the wheels will be sold, the diesel engine will be shipped to Pakistan (why Pakistan I don't know?) and the body will be crushed.

Yep, the police back then made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside on the day they told us that. it ended up we received a cheque eventually' worth about 8 grand, and had to start all over again.

Hope you get more success than I did Ronnie, and good luck.
