TOOLS STOLEN FROM VAN....


Recommended Posts

Hi all, my brother has just had his van broken into in Herne Hill. Around 3k of power tools plus accessories have been stolen. Most of the tools have been marked with Hunter, CR0 6NS. His van is alarmed but they somehow got in by disarming the alarm and popping the central locking. If anyone hears of anyone selling any cheap second hand power tools and see that name on them please call me on 07986296453. Any tradesmen reading this if you have dead locks make sure they?re always locked....


Happy new year...

I had my tools stolen out of my van twice last year by imoblising my alarm & in the last one in Norwood by ripping out the handle on the rear door. Police did not attend & insurance company making a big issue out of paying up in both cases!! No surprises there!!!

I did learn that there is a big market in Battersea where stolen tools are sold.

Keep sharing on Facebook & I wish you well in getting them back. The only thing worse than stealing a working mans tools, is for an insurance company to take your money & not pay out when you claim! Both are theft!!!

But it depends on the terms and conditions of your insurance policy, surely?


They must have told you why they weren't paying?

In the first instance Sue, they told me I hadn?t ticked the box for tool cover, when they were the ones who renewed my policy every year for the last 8 years!! The first time I make a claim, they won?t pay up!

In the second case they would not pay for old tools I had no receipts for, agreed to pay for ones I did have receipts for, but then got another company to ask irrelevant questions about my bank account, the alarm on my van & personal details & wouldn?t pay up, having agreed to. If you ask other builders, gardeners you hear very similar stories.

    • I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me. 
    • If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?
    • I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing. 
    • interesting read.  We're thinking about the same things for our kids in primary school as well. One thing I don't understand about Charter ED is whether they stream / set kids based on ability.  I got the impression from an open evening that it is done a little as possible. All i could find on-line was this undated letter - https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/_site/data/files/users/18/documents/9473A8A3547CCCD39DBC4A55CA1678DC.pdf?pid=167 For the most part, we believe in mixed ability teaching and do not stream in Year 7 or Year 8. The only exceptions to this are that we have a small nurture class for Maths. This is a provision for students who scored lower than 85 in their SATS exams and is designed to support them to acquire the skills to access the learning in mainstream class. We do not have nurture classes for any other subjects. We take a more streamed - though not a setted - approach in Maths and Science from Year 9 onwards. though unsure if this is still accurate reflection of policy, and unsure of difference between streaming and setting.
