Last night i was laid in bed and the dog started barking like mad and snarling next too the front door. So i got up opened my bedroom window and there was 2 blokes trying to steal my 5 year olds (yes 5) push bike and my 11 year old bmx. So i shouted out the window "0 you little b*$**s" then tried running down stairs trying too put soe boxers on at the same time. I STOPPED the dog getting out as she would hurt someone and gave it legs they dropped the bikes and ran.

Anyway took a while too get too sleep but anaged too then when having breakfast y neghbour came round too say my gargae door was open, Went round and it was ragged open No sign off the padlocks etc, All My tools Gone My tiling tools my mechanicing tools and my father in laws carpentry tools. ALL gone. Every way i make money gone.

Just down the road from me theres 3 herione addicts 2 sons and the dad, Im sure its them but police have meant to be turning up for last 3 hour. I mentioned to the police officer on the phone that i had stopped dog going after them. .... there reply......."if your dog had off injured the person it would be getting destroyed and you would have faced charges" are they taking the p.

The wife will be dealing with the police as at the best off times i have no time for them, There oright sending 5 different sets off coppers round for me on xmas eve over a speeding fine as THEY had forgoten to take it off system. the heroine addicts have them round nearly everyday removing laptops and things BUT they dont lock them up

Im really upset at moment as everytime i seem to be getting some where somthing happens.
 
Sounds bad Mike, hope you get sorted. Some real low life types around:mad2:
 
little scumbags,typical coppers with there red-tape,if it was up to mei would make sure i was certain it was them and dish out retribution to the cost of the theft............gggrrrrr........it makes me totally seething with anger when people steal a mans bread and butter(tools).can you claim any insurance for the tools? i know it doesn't helpshort term but may get you back up and running!
 
thats shocking mike, , hope you get your tools back, you can bet it was them who stole ya tools, police are useless, i got robbed about 2 yrs ago , i found out who had done through some pals of mine , i told the police , what proof do you have , they had been talking about it in the local druggy pub, that aint enough for us to act , forget it ill sought it out myself, there advise was dont do any thing stupid or you will end up in trouble your self, yeah right what ever ,
 
Still waiting on police to turn up. O alls i have to find is one socket just one in there possesion. Who ever has done it has lived in walking distance or had a van but iv had heard a van. Whic makes me think its them plus when i went breying on there door this mornig they were too quick to try and grass some one else up.

Still in shock honustly feel like crying, £500 for a new garage door as this one is nackered i cant even get that done yet as the police have said dont touch anything..
 
my neighbours been done twice in 6 months and both times the rozzers turned up the following day:mad2: waste of time and they wonder why people sort things out themselves
 
we'd been away in June, and 10 minutes after we got back, a local copper pulled up as we were unpacking the car and proceeded to tell us that a house 5 doors up had had their garage broken into and had their push bikes stolen.

Even before the policeman turned up I knew somebody had been in our back garden cos the patio table had been pushed over from in front of the french doors, and the little gate down the side was broken because somebody had climbed on it.

thankfully we have a full alarm system, although I have made hubby buy an additional pir sensor to put in the garage just in case. we even set our house alarm at night so the entire downstairs is alarmed. the alarm system was the best £200 we ever spent.
 
Sorry to hear that had it happen to me years ago. Perhaps someone will give them some bad stuff and they will die a horrible sqealing death.

we had a breakin recently just some garden tools taken and they sent a full csi squad which for garden tools was pathetic.

hope you are insured all the best
 
bad news mike,as above look at your insurance and see if your covered i hope you are,if your covered make sure you claim enough to eliminate the excess loss:smilewinkgrin: play them at there own bloody game
 
Iv chilled out a little bit now although its still stinging abit. Going to buy one off thos "secure a post" things and alarm Its wierd how you dont do these things until its too late. The police turned up and said they were sending out a fingerprint person But they cant get prints of anything in garage as It has too be shiny???

So said they would get them off door even to its been raining since iv been waiting for them. Its not the point that my tools have gone its the point that some one has thought its OK to go in my garage and take my and my father in laws things. if that makes any sense??

Iv a mate with a scrap yard who has 3 big rotties hes offered too lend them too me to put in the garage but cant see them coming back im convinced it was the smack heads across road,

I did how ever get an ace picture off my little lad stood in front off police car in his police outfit :thumbsup:
 
That's your worst nightmare there Mike,
i hope the scumbags are caught,keep your ear to the ground and everyone else watch out for cheap tools !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then we hear of other scumbags who can claim in jail for getting knifed !! 100k :yikes:
Pity they hadn't finished him off.
I must tighten up my security:thumbsup:
 
If I had my way instead of of token sentences I would give repeat offenders community service. Working on a chain gang clearing ditches for 8 hours a day, 4 days a week for there second sentence..
 
sorry to hear this news Mike :incazzato: it makes me mad, and it makes me realize what a nice place that i live in ,i could leave money out on my drive and nobody would touch it guaranteed :thumbsup: it sound rough where you are mate , you need to put your dog out front at night to guard your stuff, or in your garage :thumbsup:
 
Mate its a nice area (believe it or not lol) The heroine addicts granfather owns the house he bought it to knick down to give him access to a £3million bit off land too build houses etc on.

Im glad i didnt let dog out as id rather all my tools cars etc get nicked then loose my puppy lol

They will slip up as i know most off the wrong uns round here and somthing will come up next week or next year, .... I hope
 
Mike
So sorry to hear about the tools going missing, as hard as it might be remember to keep your chin up and its not inside the house. You can replace the tools in time.
Hope the police get the scumbags.

However be careful as and when you replace the tools, the scumbags now know you may well be buying new tools and might be back. Be on your guard...electrify the garage door.......
 
Mike, we just lost some tools from one of the trucks, which was parked right in front of the job and within sight and in the middle of the day. :mad2:

$1000 dollars later, and I now have three steel gang boxes in which we put almost all the tools.

And they got about $500 worth of tools, which I have now replaced. Somehow, these morons didn't steal the Fein which was sitting right next to the stuff they stole. I'm sure they didn't know what it was or they would have gotten it too.

The thing that really chaps my ... is that the circular saw they stole was an old-school Milwaukee brand, which was made in the US back when I bought it. Now the same model is made in China and I'm not interested in it any more.

Those crack heads probably sold those tools for just enough money to by two 40's and two rocks. :incazzato:
 
I might start taking the keys out of my ignition at night:yikes: sorry to hear about your predicament Mike, hope you manage to get a result and retrieve your tools etc.
 
sorry to hear this Mike I beleive what goes round comes round :fuk2: they will get theirs in time mate just hope you are lucky enough to witness them getting their comeupance :thumbsup:
 
Really bad news there. My garage was done a few years ago and it wasn't just the expense and inconvenience. The thing I remember is the sick feeling in my gut so Mike and family have my sympathy.

You have to ask who benefits over something like this. The crooks who do the original crime probably fence the goods for peanuts and somebody else gets a little from selling it on. The main beneficiary must be the end buyer who bags a bargain from buying stolen goods and are financing petty crime to continue as they are unaware of the grief it causes. Sadly a lot of people will buy 'knock off' stuff conveniently putting their heads in the sand and not thinking too much of where it comes from.

Sorry for ranting but I rant to everyone over this subject. Spread the word and maybe change some attitudes :thumbsup:

Note to Doug...I lived miles out in the country on the edge of a farm when my garage was done and I wasn't the only one. The crooks can get you anywhere.
 
Well last night a 2.30 3.30 and 5 am i was stood where the smack heads could see me. I did this as they dont sleep and theres motors pulling up all threw the night dropping things off.

My brother in law wants to kick the door in and "tax" them off everything they have in the house but we would probably get caught and because we have our own things ge punished 100 times more than a heroine addict that we are meant too feel sory for as its an "addiction"

I smoke im addicted i dont go ruining 2 mens lively hood. I was also on my *** with debt collecters threatening too take everything i own. and NOT once did it cross my mind too go and rob sombidy else.
Rant over lol
 
thats interesting that they are coming and going all night, you should have rang the law and told them there was a burglary in progress, thats yout gear thats being distributed and other peoples gear coming to their house
 
Its been done by nieghbours mmate a few times they either take an hour to turn up. OR arrest one off them and by the time you wake up there out walking about talking to them selfs.
 
are you covered by insurance mike? if so i would concentrate on the positives ans begin a claim and try tp put these scumbags out your mind:thumbsup::31:
