bucketep91 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Having a nightmare of a day today and just needed to vent some anger somewhere. First of all i was due to tax my van on the 1st of this month, ive been pestering my insurance company for over a week now to get my insurance certificate an they say thier system cant format my (scottish) address so my van is off the road for 3 days now and if i dont get it taxed today i cant tax it till monday so ill have missed out 5 days work, so im just over 600 quid out of pocket! To top it off i went down to the van today and the side door was open! Locks burst and over £1000 worth of tools gone! So i was £300 to buy some replacement tools thismorning to cover work for now.I live in 1 of the worst ''schemes'' in glasgow with junkies everywhere so i know they are already long gone, so ive spent most of thismorning and this afternoon kicking junkies up and down parkhead cross.One of the worst things about it is 1 of the guys who works for me left his tools in the van and they are gone too, but his tools have great sentimental value to him as most ofthem belonged to his grandad who passed away a few weeks ago.The junkies who didnt get a sore nose have een offered 100 quid to grass thier mates up and get the tools back so heres hoping we get them back and lets hope i dont end up in jail for assualt!

Blitz Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 bit of advice mate thats all terrible and feel for you as a tradesman myself but when a van gets robbed they usually hit it again in a week or so cause they know all the tools get replaced. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bucketep91 Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 I got it taxed today after a lot of hassle, i told them if they didnt get me a cover note i was going to go on a rampage and ram my bullbars into expensive cars and give them a hefty claim to sort out! I got a cover note 5 minutes later. What was so hard about that.Got a few big jobs on 2morrow that should help pay for the majority of whats been nicked but its a few homers i was looking forward to for getting some extra cash in so im gutted:(My tools are useless to anyone who isnt a carpet fitter tbh only a carpet fitter would have use for them so they wont get them sold.Trying to put it to the back of my mind tbh i was running around like a madman today im lucky i didnt get arrested. I know for a fact it was the junkies but i cant prove it so kicking fuck out of a few of them helped me feel better today:d Quote Link to post Share on other sites

_shaun_ Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 great news! ironic realy cause if u went to the police about it u woulda never seen them again Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bucketep91 Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 I did report it to the police due to the sort of tools that were stolen. You could do a lot of damage with them. I had a stanley knife stolen a few years back and someone got slashed with it and i got pulled in for it. Didnt want that hapening again.Imo i did the right thing its the only thing they know and it wont happen again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
