don't hold your breath... they probably won't at all. Friend had his van stolen and the police didn't even turn up to take a description of it. It had no fuel in so must have stopped at a fuel station within a 10 mile radius, they weren't even interested in ringing round and checking the CCTV cameras.

There really is scum out there!!
Your working for an honest living and there thieving for a living and the plod do nothing about it!!

I bet if you were doing 5mph over the limit they would put more effort in to give you a ticket. Really winds me up!!!

I've given up and just accepted I'm gonna have to buy again today is the 3rd day and still no police, rang me this morning too say my case has changed priority I gave them a mouthful

stopping for speeding is financial worth the prosecution. £400 worth of tools it'll cost more in court fees etc plus they should be covered under insurance so they aint bothered.

bad luck

lesson learnt?

More in terms of not leaving valuables in the car overnight, and perhaps thinking about some more security on the vehicle?

Don't worry I'm on it lol, hasp and staple bolted too each door

dont leave your tools in the landy overnight , its just stupid.

sorry mate finding it hard to muster sympathy, this is really the dumbest thing you can do.

The funny thing is when I had my sliding window opened and a 20p parking ticket stolen, resulting in a £65 fine, the council had the SOCO's round finger printing the car!

We live in Marple too.
I know it's a pain but I always empty my van at night, takes me 10 minutes in the morning to get all my tools etc in, but I've been out to the van in the morning and seen smudges on the glass where some tw*t has looked in the back sometime overnight, to see if there's anything inside.
Also I've been lay in bed in the early hours and heard cars trundling past my house, then coming back the other way a minute later, there's usually the distinctive sound of a big bore exhaust so it's clearly not a taxi.

Im for ever hearing the big bores round here little scroats

Get an alarm with a dual zone proximity sensor on it.

I have one on my car after I was informed that it was on the 'hit list', you get within a foot of it and the alarm beeps 3 times as a warning, ignore it for 3 rounds of beeps and it goes off without you even trying to break in as you obviously have intent to do something!!
