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:

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:

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.

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
