Absolute scumbags. There’s been a load of vans getting done around my way at the moment. 

These can only be sold to other window cleaners, so they are either stole to order or people in our trade know what’s going on!!!

I have some split carbon I would put in a certain hole I ever caught anybody breaking into our vans

My advice to everyone who keeps their poles in their van overnight. Fit Deadlocks or expect your van to get screwed in the middle of the night. You must make it difficult for them. Also get good insurance. Everyone is beginning to realise the price of these poles and how easy to sell them on Gumtree or ebay. Don't allow yourself to be a victim, I take mine in at night time but will be fitting deadlocks this month.

You just don’t seem them being sold in volume though for the amount I hear getting stolen which leads me to think they are stolen to order

I wont be keeping my poles in the van from now on incase they come back. My van is ford transit connect. I've just been looking at youtube videos "how to break into vans without damaging it"  :1f644:  My van is the easiest van to break into.

I shall be putting cctv outside my house  which I was meant to do while back but never got round to it.

If these a***hole think about trying it again i will know who they are and i will make their life hell.

Cheers THL4KEL.. but I would personally rather have gardiner pole, if i have to pay more for a brand new Gardiner pole so be it. Thank anyway mate  :1f44d:

Dont blame you mate i use Gardiners as well... Hope you get sorted

I’ve got an SLX 35 that I’d be willing to sell. PM me if you wanted to discuss further. Cheers 

Just really bad crack, I am fortunate I can put my van in my garage and parking the wife's car in front.

They are getting stolen more and more often. They must be being stolen to order or shipped abroad cos I can’t find many second hand poles for sale compared to how many are being stolen. Just like theft of power tools it’s dodgy tradesmen who keep the market going. Unfortunately it must be windies buying and ordering stolen poles causing this wave of thefts. I think thieves will overcome extra van security. It won’t work as a deterrent cos they know exactly what equipment you’ve got and they want it. I think finding a way to secure the pole itself is the answer.
Either that or it’s local trad cleaners trying to sabotage lol
Sorry to hear about your pole though mate!

Best thing to do is keep the expensive equipment in your house. Thats what I do and never leave expensive unattended on a job.

Iv seen van setups where they store the pole on the roof in a Rhino type pipe tube that can be locked. You could probably fit it inside if you don’t like the idea of it on the roof.

Sorry to hear that bro, might be worth investing in a ‘deadlock’ for the doors or a alarm or something. They probably won’t ever come back again, but still anyway for piece of mind
