Thieving scum

[sahcivan]

My work van got broken into last weekend and emptied of all my power tools.
I'm still noticing things now that are gone when I go to use them. The window they smashed was covered by insurance but none of my tools where.

It irritates me so much that people are out here trying to make a honest living and there's scumbags that think it's fine to take that away from us. Without tools I can't work.

Me and my partner found out we're expecting our first child a few months ago and I've been working 7 days a week long hours to build a baby fund up, now all of that had to be spent replacing tools.

I've been emptying my van each night now and taking stuff indoors, all takes time but I can't allow them to take them again.

I've heard that once a van gets broken into, it's common for them to wait a month or two and then do the same van again, knowing full well that whoevers van it is will have to replace them and they will get their hands on some more by breaking in!

Rant over

Ps. If you're in the building trade, it may take a extra 20 mins in the morning and evening but it's just so worth unloading every night!
