Default stolen- car broken into in edmonton area

just thought id ask on here incase anyone gets offered any tools as my mate who i work with got to work today and when he went to get his tools out his boot realised his tools were gone and he'd been broken into.

it was a green 53 plate passat and the tools stolen were:

a dewalt chop saw

bosch jig saw

dewalt 1'4 router

dewalt 24v sds drill

dewalt 18 3 speed screw driver drill

14.4 volt screwdriver drill

tom tom 1 poss more but all i can remember, if on the off chance anyone hears anything or knows anything it would be greatly appreciated if you could let me know, cheers

Whereabouts mate? I live in Edmonton although don't know anyone in the trade or could trace anything. What has just come to my mind though is there is a house being rebuilt near me and I've seen a guy turn up there before, open his boot and try sell tools to the builders. Shall keep my out for him again if he arrives!

that would be excellent mate, my numbers 07837736028 if ever you did see him. he lives near farm foods. worste thing is with this credit crunch thing he cant really afford to replace them now so is tied to working with us to keep himself working if he ends up out of work on this job.

had my transit passenger window smashed just before xmas, at a Harvester in Edmonton, got my other halfs purse out the glove box, but luckily no cash in it, so just the hassle of cancelling cards and ne window. They missed the satnav in the drivers side door pocket though, tossers.

the locks are on the saloon passat to stop people doing the rear door leaning in a pulling the seat back down and gaining access to the boot.

its a shitter getting your stuff stolen but you cant leave anything in cars these days
