trapperman 474 Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 Well what the feck some c##t broke in my transit last night and nicked my sthil chainsaw and hedge trimmer £600 worth and my iPod out the cab never had a house or vehicle broke into before I’m so fecking angry I could kill no damage to vehicle but the one key lock on drivers door had loads of oil dripping from it so some quick trick they know of I assume would of thought it was harder to get in than that, not leaving anything of value in there again 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dogmandont 9,312 Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 Everything a thief needs to know about breaking into vans is on YouTube, it’s like a thief’s tutorial and most videos made are by companies selling anti thief devices. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greyman 25,086 Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 Sadly it will probably be done again in a couple of weeks that seems to be the mo around here, they give you enough time to replace your gear with new then return, the new trannys are a joke security wise get it belled up Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sussex 5,776 Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 My pals son had all the locks upgraded on his van after losing all his tools , three months later he lost another lot when the took the side panel out of the van with a battery operated metal cutter .Not only lost the tools but wrecked the van , he unloads the van every night of anything of value .Hopefully anyone buying stolen tools will reap what they sow , there as bad as the thieves . 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Arry 18,485 Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 Sleep in the back with a base ball bat. A mate of mine did that on Dartmoor in his camper when loads of cars vans getting done in broad daylight, sometimes with people watching from on top of a Tor with bins. Any way Chris parked up laid in the back with base ball bat in hand and sure enough not long after side window forced in came a arm which he reckoned he broke with the bat. Chris has gone on now but was a good sort. Cheers Arry 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel cain 42,791 Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 Years ago a few wrong uns were robbing vans by us..... One lad payed someone to sit in the back of his transit with a pair of mastiffs and a crossbow..... The silly cnut who broke in took a bolt through the cheek and out the other side, then the dogs gave him a good shake Couldn't of happened to a nicer lad 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
