Awe Mickey. I am so sorry to hear this. It just PI 55 ES me off to no end. You know, some people should just be shot. Period. I know you can't do that, but maybe a ball peen hammer knee massage would slow them down. It sure would satisfy!

Keep your eyes out on selling sites inc Gumtree etc and a local garage advertising MG Rover servicing that you didnt know of before hand. Its obvious you were targeted as the specific tools were taken.
If anyone hears of a garage in Micky boys are doing the same give him the nod. Keep em peeled.

HI Mick.
Just read the bad news, some of the humans out there are in fact lowest of the low, I don't suppose the tools had any hidden marks on them such as postcode, with smart water, property marker pens kits, only visible under Ultraviolet.

It will not stop these scum taking them but if and it is a big if the police ever did come across any stolen tools, goods they can get them back to you.

Once again sorry to hear about this, as you are one of the good guys walking the earth today, PM sent about a tool I have been watching which you may like to purchase, it will replace one that was taken. Arctic

Gutted for you, Mick. You're one of the nicest guys around and don't deserve this. I do hope by some miracle that you do recover your equipment back.

So sorry to hear of this dreadful news.
My insurance company recently sent me a wireless internal security camera that I have no use for and would happily send it to you if you would like it, i believe that it may be a Neos but not 100% sure as am at work presently.
regards

Saddened to read this Micky.

It is an awful thing to happen, together with the thought of some low life rummaging through your stuff.

This kind of crime has a major impact on people and, in my view, the deterrent punishment is nowhere near severe enough.

Hi Micky. So sorry to here about the sitebags that have thieved your working tools. I imagine it’s someone who has been in the garage at some time and made mental note of what you have for Rover/MG cars. It’s someone who has been very close to yourself while you have been working on cars, and noted where you put/store your tools. Some one who had become a bit of a nuisance when you where working on cars. If caught, you will recognise him I am certain.Been in your garage a few times, but probably not to have anything done. Just a browser. Any suspects come to mind. Keep that to yourself. Hope his/ their fingers curl up so they can not steal anything else. Ratbags.

Really sorry to hear this mick. Are there any neighbouring units around yours that have eternal cctv that might have caught anything at all? Even suspicious characters walking by or a van or anything that might have been used.
