I had my 60ft extel pole stolen off my van some time since wednesday night.

So if anyone is offered one let me know.

The pole is unusual as it has a metal ferrule fitted by Alex G, there are a few other tell signs i wont mention on here, so i can easily identify it.

Reward of £200 for its return

TRY EBAY SOMEONE MIGHT TRY TO SELL IT ON THERE,IF I HERE ANYTHING I WILL LET YOU NO,DONT WANT THE REWARD THOUGH WERE ALL HERE TO HELP EACH OTHER OUT.

[George P]

[trike]

keep my ears open,

[Alex Gardiner]

I'll keep my eyes and ears open Dave as I would recognize it.

when you say it was stolen off your van dave how do you mean , was it just strapped 2 the roof bars or did you have a pole tube ?
they are tossers at the end of the day (sorry about the swearing ) , im in yorkshire dave and if i hear anything being sold i would let you know .

[CLEANGLASSUK]

I would ask if any other window cleaners that use this forum live in your surrounding villages to keep an eye open for someone new or someone who is now using a 60ft pole, and i could almost gaurantee that this would be the people or person who has stolen your pole.

[CLEANGLASSUK]

Also dave you could get a family member to phone a few of the window cleaners near your area,and ask them that you need some windows cleaned on the 5th or 6th floor and see which ones could do the clean for you,it would probably be one of these wc that has stolen it.

I Am going to inform the police tommorrow as well as the local papers, maybe the radio.

I am going to put the reward in the paper, someone somewhere would have seen the thieves erecting the pole somewhere.

There isnt that many 60 ft extel poles in Cornwall, so I will find it.

The pole was taken out of a pole tube on the roof, it wasnt locked, i have done this for the last 3 years with no problems, maybe a lesson learned.

The top section only extends about 3 ft, as my son dropped it from a great height and shattered the top section, so if you see anyone using one with the top section not fully extended let me know.

[Wayne Thomas]

There are so many topics regarding vans being stolen on here.
Sorry Dave to hear you had your pole stolen, you should have known better and locked your pole storage tube.
Thieves look for easy opportunities.
I always locked my van IF I'm out of sight of my van whilst I'm working, even if I'm only ten seconds. Had someone try to break in to my van in the early hours one morning and another whilst I was around the back of a property whilst cleaning during the day in a leafy suburb with witnesses about.
Thieves may be watching you and your habits for some time before making their move. They look for easy opportunities.
Don't give thieves the opportunity in the first place, lock it.

[Moderator David@stives]

Just another note the pole didnt have any hose or brush or gooseneck on it.

So if anyone orders 60ft pole hose in Cornwall ?

We have 3 vans out in Cornwall every day so we will find that pole. that pole is so hot , whoever has kidnapped had better hide because we will find you.
