Didn’t work as I’m part time, but lost 3 customers for Friday as they “don’t want it done in this weather, ask us next time” ? so decided to chuck an ad up on facebook to replace them and have brought 9 more higher payers in in their place ??

 
Absolute **** day.....

kept raining on me which isn’t normally a problem and I had treated myself to a new waterproof coat. All that meant was all the rain ran down my jacket and my trousers were absolutely drenched.

last but not least, my van was broken into on the first job I was at, so all in all it was a right crappy expensive day ???????

Sorry to hear that. Did they damage/steal anything?

Had mine done a month or so back. Completely ruined my ignition ?

I was only 30 foot away from it talking  to a fellow window cleaner.

One of my customers shouted out to me and as I came running up they drove off.

Nothing stolen, well there’s nothing worth taking unless they want 700 litres of water. they obviously looking for power tools.

dent in the rear panel and sliding door as they put a crowbar in and popped the lock.

Hopeless security..... 







I’m just getting a quote for some deadlocks to put people off. Van is only 2 years old and want to keep it looking good so now I’ve got to get a body shop quote for the repair.

flipping scumbags!

I believe you are not far from me, (Blackheath) aren’t you?

I had mine fitted by vanlocker. They are based in Croydon but come out and fit them on your drive. 

Very pleased with mine.

Hope this helps ?

Don’t have a ‘schedule’. Never have, never will.

I work in rain, but not belting rain ?

Yeah, Shooters hill.

Cheers Steve, I'll definitely get a quote from them if you reckon they're good.

How much your ignition repair cost?
£150. I have a mate who’s a top machanic. He actually built a new ignition barrel around my van key so it still is the same key as the lock.

Had to wait three days until he was free, so lost income.

I’d like to stab the scum sh*ts in both eyes

 
@Spartan thats gross mate did you get a reg number or anything?

Old bill probably womt do a thing unless they left blood at crime scene.

Probably a cpl smack heads out for selling a cpl hundred quids worth of gear for a £30 fix ???

Didn't really get the reg number.

60 plate silver Audi A4 saloon, 3 blokes, 1 with a ginger beard.

Found out a neighbour in the same road had his van done by same people - list all his tools ?

Is there any cctv in the area on peoples homes that you can get the reg no from if you know what you are looking for with the vehicle make and colour you might strike lucky 

 
Asked about cctv but no luck.

miffed me off for the rest of the day, felt like just driving home and takin the day off.
