So as a few of you see i listed my van for sale on Sunday complete with machine. Anyway i had a few enquires and all that so was beginning to think it might go.

Little did i know i would wake Wednesday morning for it to be gone alright.

Someone stole my Van with all equipment including 3x Gardiner poles - Obviously i am supper p****d off. Only had Van insured no contents.

keep your van double locked, insight and take your poles out and anything that is worth any cash to you. I also lost my Ray Bans and CC Terminal.

:hiding:

 
there scum & when they do catch them they get a slap on the wrist & a couple of hours community service & if you gave them a good hiding you would be arrested for protecting your own property

 
********! Hope you find it and get it back! And they get caught on their next job by some even nastier peeps!

 
Gutted for you, I hope they retrieve the van and equipment in one piece /emoticons/sad.png

 
Sorry to hear that fella! Not nice at all. Let's hope whoever did it gets their comeuppance!

 
That's bad. Was it sign written, not that it will still be on. Do you think anyone that came to look at it might have nicked it? Keep an eye on eBay for any gear being sold that's local to you.

 
Thanks for all the kind words guys.

The biggest joke to me was that the police was not even interested. gave me a CR number and that was it. Did not want pictures or want details of what was in it what it looks like - nothing.

@Tuffers the van was not sign written mate and i only had emails and calls for the van no one came to see it. I did receive a deposit which i have to send back but the guy didn't come to look at it.

So yea i will be keeping my eyes peeled but the equipment was as follows -

2x SLX 22 - Average Condition

1x SLX 35 - Like New (4 months old)

1x iZettle Bluetooth Card reader

1x 650LTR Black Baffled Tank very distinguishable as the part that holds the resin bottle was adjusted by myself and i cut it a little wonky:/ It also had Quick fill tap on the left hand side of it. Tank was built for a Transit Connect T230L.

It also has pre drilled holes were the filters once sat. Shurflow pump and pure freedom digital flow reg.

2x Hennay Reels - One reel has a brand new barrel on the left hand side.

1x GrippaTank Auto charger and Leisure 100MA Battery.

plus the contents of the van but i won't bore you all with that stuff.

So im guessing someone some where is selling a complete set up or just parts..

For someone it will be a small profit - for me its going to be a huge expense that I'm not sure i will recover from. Cancelled holiday today too /emoticons/sad.png FML

Really sorry mate

Bastrads

Hopefully you will get a good payout - sometimes you get more than you would have selling .. Chin up pal it's another of life's challenges

 
sorry to hear that horrible thing to happen...and theres me moaning at a part falling off my car which will cost twenty quid..

puts it into perspective somewhat..

hope you can get over this again so sorry.

 
hey, on the bright side of things guys - I'm sitting here with a Vodka and Red Bull and a day off tomorrow...

Id rather be fighting this life test than a life illness, everyones got there problems right.

Yep we sure have! I've had 3 floods coming from the loft this week. Yep 3! Two from the combi boiler and one from a copper pipe. The bathroom ceiling is a mess. The latest leak was tonight and the plumber came out at 9:30 to fix it. This one shorted half the houses electrics. Then the pull cord broke on the bathroom light this morning, the fridge door hinge broke yesterday and the door keeps springing open so has to be kept closed with a chair up the door. New hinges costing £46. A wheel broke on my paddock stand yesterday (found in pieces on the garage floor). I blame the poltergeist :confused:

 
Keep a look out on eBay, gumtree and preloved guys,

Let's hope one of us spots it..

Problem is they will probably sell it without using any if the above, but let's hope they do!
