it's not just the tools going, it's not being able to work without them to earn money and buy new ones.

happened to my bro not long back, they removed the back window on his transit and nicked the lot, all really expensive makita battery drills etc

really gutted for ya mate

Thats harsh mate, sorry to hear.

My bro is a carpenter and carries all his stuff in a van. He was saying he is struggling to find insurance that will cover all the stuff as its effectively contents of a car to such a high value.

If all is sorted with insurance can you let me know who the insurer is as at the moment the car is just garaged with another in front and the van always in sight at work.
