Snap on theft
My local Snap on man runs two vans and he got done over last weekend, they broke in to his secure unit and both vans and cleaned him out, was about 100k's worth apparently 
he has them on CCTV but tbh the police don't give a rats arse 
... the robbers were there for 7 hours too 
so if anyone heres of any cheap Snap on tools im sure he would give some form of reward

Bastards. I do mobile security and about two years ago got called to a major bank as the cash machine safe vibration sensor had gone off,quite a common form of false alarm. When i went in discovered the atm safe door laid on floor the intruders had cased the branch out and realised there were no pir detectors between a side window leading to atm area meaning they could get through window undetected and work on the safe with only risk being the atm vibration sensor. They used oxy accetylene and cut the hinges off the safe vibration sensor did not activate until door was removed, 5 hours later (watched cctv) they got away with Ł148k. Not bad for 5 hours work i guess and the best thing is wincor nixdorf fixed atm but the bank still to this day have not updated alarm system. Tits. But problem is in this day and age burglars etc are getting cleverer (stupid for doing what there doing but the way they do it is quite clever sometimes). I have even discovered exactly how they make and use the skimming devices on barclays atm machines. But 100k of snap on tools aint light so they must have had a big van

not paid enough to risk myself lol if intruders still on site i just keep my distance until police arrive (usually ages lol) but have had a couple situations that not been able to get out of with out defending myself thats why i carry a 4 cell mag lite , had van smashed up by pikeys because i had them arrested the week before, had a smack head lunge at me with a needle so a colleague hit him on shoulder with mag lite and dislocated his shoulder and he ended up sticking needle in his own leg lol, had 2 blokes in a supermarket once and literally banged their heads together, that was quite funny, and another time caught a pair of poofs on one of my sites shagging, that was disturbing, one of them head butted me so i knocked him out lol..... but if i can avoid a situation like that then I get out of it as soon as i can, but the very worst was when i was working for Group4Securicor patrol and response was sorting the alarm system in a nationwide building society after cleaner cocked it up, whilst in there (behind counter so out of view) G4S cash in transit came into fill the atm machine and as they unlocked the door a gang of armed raiders came in behind them one shot was fired and the cleaner got beaten up, i can handle myself but am not silly enough to try and tackle a man with a gun lol, when the drama was over the raiders got away with 2 full cash cassettes (about 60k) i came out lol, and i am not afraid to admit i was fucking terrified, but in the end it turned out they had blank firing pistols. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/bristol/7214400.stm

tell me about it, i sometimes go on the reliance/wincor run around wales with Jayne one of the wincor engineers (we travel as a 2 person crew for reasons i will get raped for if i make public knowledge lol) and she was saying there one of the toughest safes on any atm (ncr are crap in my opinion) but then with 5 hours undetected i suppose anything is possible.
the latest scam is the skimming devices, basically a card reader is inserted to read card details and other ones actually trap the card and the other part of the devices are basic as hell, a panel attached to top of machine and are anything from 5-12 inches long, same colour as atm to disguise them and inside is a 3 video mobile phone which is connected via a video call to the scammer, there is a tiny hole in panel so they can clearly see the key pad. We found one on the barclatys atm in caerleon, Newport recently, when jane pulled the panel off the phone fell out andf the person on the other end quickly hung up and a fiesta parked over the road quickly started up and wheelspun off lol. what wincor are doing now is installing a failsafe device which sends the atm into tamper mode the second the reader is messed with and also shuts atm down if a mobile phone is held near it for a set period of time, a few months back we had 12 in one day go in to tamper around wales but the device had been removed by time we arrived until we reached the last one which ios the caerleon one. one things for sure when i use any atm now i am like a hawk i check it completley before putting my card anywhere near it
