Fellow Window Cleaner caught a bloke stealing stuff out of his van!
« on: February 02, 2011, 04:54:18 pm »
A guy from Milton Keynes who had his van and system stolen a few months ago was working at the back of a house today when a guy peered over the fence to see where he was then jumped into his van to sniff about and tried stealing a bag etc. What the dipstick didn't realize was he had someone working with him who saw everything. Whilst he was helping himself the guy got close and whacked him over the back with the pole he was working with  ;D he then run off

Anyways another heads up to keep your stuff locked and safe :)

I don't know where the thieves were from. Once everything is done and dusted i'll post it up

Ronnie. The other guy who had his van stolen with a system got paid out last week. so its taken about 3 months. They paid out even with him saying he left the key in the ignition.

He got 4500 for a 54 plate Vivaro van. didn't get nothing for the system but at least it softened the blow.

I hope you get at least half what your owed, got to be better than nothing

oh I'd lose it big style if I caught someone stealing from one of my vans - even more so if it was another window cleaner, makes you angry doesn't it.
