Just found this thread.......i can really sympathise with you , when i had my business restoring classic cars , i was broken into twice , the first time they nicked about 5000 quids worth of tools etc , but must have been disturbed cos i found a large pile of tools pullers and electronic equipment in the middle of the workshop . Second time i had built an armoured vault into the wall and had the tools etc locked away very securely , cos they couldnt get the tools they trashed a mk 2 jag and an austin a35 . Both times over a weekend and both times the plod all i got from the plod was " sorry mate been raining aint it won't get any prints of that door ,and your tools have probably gone anyway at the local bootfairs so i wouldn't hold out any chance of getting them back .
Really fills you with a warm glow doesn't it ?
I really feel for you my friend , attack a mans livelyhood and you make it personal , at the time i just wanted to find out who it was and then sledghammer their hands , wouldn't be able to nick someones living antmore then would they ?
Dont let the scum bags get you down
