Van broken into........again

casperLennon · Jul 13, 2020

Bought a new van on Father’s Day and today it got broken into at work. Luckily after last time I don’t leave anything in it. Although they stole my father’s day present, my new trainers. Makes me wonder why I bother working so others can take what they want for free

I found out last week that some tw*t had pinched my spare wheel. I was on a windy site, dropped something and it blew under the van so clambered under and there it was - GONE. No idea how long it's been gone. Looked at one of the other guys vans today. Transit Custom - VERY simple to pinch the wheel :-(

The problem is they'll have more protection under the law than you if did owt.

Crying shame.

Same happened to my Relay, never realised until I sold it and was asked where the spare was.

Spare wheel theft is common on VW transporters...

They have damaged the van bodywork this time. So that’s another expense.

What’s the best tool insurance people know of?

Had an Ecs test just before Christmas at a unite site, they were obviously pushing the benefit of being in the union, one of the benefits being tool insurance covered within the membership and cheaper ecs tests, costs worked out similar to what I have paid for tool insurance in the past but couldn’t find any further info online to see what they would actually cover.
