Totally gutted! Had my van broken into last night on my drive, took both of my pure freedom trolleys and both poles, basically everything in my van apart from the containers. If anyone hears of anybody selling 2 trolleys with poles in the Teesside area let me know as they could be mine.

 
That sucks! Is the van sign written? I wonder if they knew what was on board? @spruce and @johnny bravo areboth round your way. Maybe they could keep an ear to the ground. Feel for you pal, I'd be suicidal if it happened to me /emoticons/sad.png

 
it,ii be someone starting out, or to order. keep an eye out for any tradders trying wfp, or check gumtree out occasionally. ive only noticed 2 cleaners with trolleys up here in town. they could be anywhere. time to beef up van allarms on rear doors. inside. i take reel + pole out at night. not worth leaving in overnite.

what area you from graeme

 
Might be worth going up to your local Facebook selling groups if you haven't already. They could try and move them on on there.

more near spruce, phew thats the pressure of me, just kidding, what you doing with 2 trolleys in your van, get a tank and take rest out @ night

 
******* ******* *******

That's about all i can say without getting too irate

We work hard for knobheads to ruin it for us

Sorry to hear that mate

 
Don't know you mate, but as a fellow windie that post has infuriated me. Hope you get things sorted. Don't let the ba$tards grind you down

 
get yourself a backpack and a slx and get straight back at it, it may be some competition in your area, wanting you to quit. have you got any customers from any other windy from canvassing. empty your van at night untill you get a good alarm os cctv set up.

lots on ebay atm

 
Total *******.

Can I just say that my van is covered with Adrian Flux including contents. This is a like for like deal so if anything were to get nicked out of the van as long as I have a receipt and a police report they will have it replaced.

Always worth paying that bit extra for peace of mind.

Hope you catch the pricks.

 
That's a total *******! Sorry to hear that.

Its a worry though as more become wise of the kit windies carry and the value of it the more insurance like @Green Pro Clean Ltd mentions seems essentail. I hope you find them. Dont let them get you down get back out at it as soon as you can and show them.

 
F.A.O.pro green. That's probably why my insurance was cheaper than yours, I haven't insured for goods in the van. After reading this post, that will soon be amended

That's good of you Oliver.

Unfortunately the scum are coming closer to home.

They are a husband and wife team, so I guess a trolley each. We will keep an eye open of course.

I think you have to analyse the costs and insurance excess in the event of a claim. You also need to check whether they will replace new for old in the event of a claim. (How much is a 4 year old SLX22 worth from an insurance view point?)
