Sitting at my computer on the internet i hear BANG then followed by over small bangs, i think wtf,
so i go to my window and open my blinds, i see a Ford Fiesta parked with its boot open with aload of tools init. thinking to myself they look familiar, so i turn my heead right and i see someone jumping out my dads van, wtf.
I ran to the house phone and rang the police, while connecting went back to the window got details of the reg make so on.
Surprisingly police came surprisingly fast but unfortunatly they had already left but not long, looking at the inside i realise about 2 to 3 grand of stuff was gone plus the damage on the van which will be 1 to 2 grand. speaking to the policewoman, i hear on her radio, we have the suspects of the Ford Fiesta 
YES…
The bad thing is the vans locks are f****d, the rear doors been bent open, practiculy evrything what we need for work is gone and now we have to wait for the case to go through intill we get our stuff back.
The Vans been impounded for doing fingure printing and security reasons.
But hey atleast another 2 crimals behind bars, for tonite anyways hopefully something happens.
I was soooooooo gutted tho as i was giving my statement i wanted to take pictures of the damage and inside, but when i was inside the truck came and took it away 
Sorry to hear about your bad day. What is wrong with people? Glad to hear the culprits have been caught.
What the hell is going on with not getting the stuff back? If they’re tools needed to earn a living what are you supposed to do whilst the case goes through? Crazy bloody justice system. Maybe there’s some way of claiming money back from lost earnings?
Best of luck
oh no…
why do people feel the need to steal - absolutely beyond me…
Trix, glad they were caught tho… good luck to you and your dad getting your goods back
Damn, awful luck Trix. Double-hit with not being able to get your tools back! Do you have insurance for this, i.e. can you claim back the cost of hiring replacements?
I’m pretty much sure my dad will have that covered in the insurance hes very lijit how ever thats spelt, i know the van tools so on are insurued and i do know the vans fully comp, not sure how the insurance goes for tools.
Bad thing aswell is my dads on holiday at the moment but he was coming home tomorrow and staying at my sisters place down in southampton tonite but after i told him there heading back up now, so he can go and specifically say whats gone from the van, although they have everything in the car which they stopped.
We have got a selection of tools at home including mine as they werent in that van at the time b4ecause im doing work at home, but all our testing and pat testing equipment, which we need to fault find in jobs was taken.
Sorry to hear about this Trix… But really glad that the offenders were caught…
the tools are the main evidence of the case.
If we give the tools back then continuity is lost as is the case.
two thieves get off.
Once an Officer ‘siezes’ evidence it cannot be released until after Court.
Frustrating, but look at the bigger picture…
If they had NOT caught them you’d never see the tools anyway…
Contact your insurers and you’ll find a lot of them will replace regardless and claim back off the accused in Court.
glad they got caught!!
