Best Off Road
I lobbed at the Factory this morning to find the front door smashed.
My heart sank. I know how some of these thieves smash the property they can't knick, just out of spite. I was fully expecting to find all sorts of damage.
The Office was fully ransacked and geting the computers going again is not yet complete. Our CNC Router can't cut if the computer is down
Fortunately "all" these arsewipes did was knock off a lot of power tools, generator, laptop, camera, electrical gear etc etc. Insurance will cover most of it.
We'll be back up and running by Thursday, so it wasn't too bad.
It could have been SO MUCH worse.
However, should I find the little bastards, I'll be taking my Lads, my Mad Brother and having a stern chat with them.
Jim.

Sorry to hear it Jim.
Anything (such as the generator) that's recognisable in case things apear on ebay etc that we can look out for. I know it's not likely but sometimes surprises turn up.

Bugga..thats terrible.
I know what it's like being a robbery victim. Invasion of one's inner space. Takes a while to get over it.
Glad to hear most of its covered by insurance.
Chin up!

Sorry to hear about your bad luck Jim, as one poster said, maybe keep an eye on ebay but I also hear that Cash Converters are now on line, not sure if this is right or not.
Heart sinking feeling knowing some creep has stolen some of your hard earned property, Insurance can't help that part of it.
Cheers

What rotten luck huh.
No monitored alarms ????
Jim, I live not too far away from Dandenong (Lysterfield South) and was hot by a burglar myself not too long ago. Also had that sinking feeling that whoever did it would trash the place but fortunately you wouldn't even know they had been there.
Well....apart from what they nicked of course.
Surprisingly, a vigilant neighbour got his rego and he was nabbed by the constabulary and put away for a holiday at the tax payers expense. He would be out right about now.
Monitored alarms mate. May not stop them from breaking in but it only gives them enough time to carry out one lot of goodies.
Hope the insurance company are kind to you with their next renewal premium.
Cheers.

Hi Jim
You have my sympathy.
Please upgrade your security, because sometimes these warts on the backside of humanity come back again for the new stuff you have acquired as replacement gear.
Cheers

Hey Jim,
Having been out to your factory on Saturday, I know what a great set up you had going there.
So sorry to hear about your bad luck - all the best for getting it up and running again.
Take care.
By the way - great set of drawers. Very very happy.
Cheers,
Jeannie

As some of the other guys here we have been robbed as
well so I feel for you. The worst thing is they will sell it for two tenths of bugger all to feed a drug habit.
Even with a monitored alarm the police will not come out until your security copmany has sent someone round so they will still have plenty of time. they have probably come to your factory in the last couple of weeks asking for "Dave" or "Steve". someone who doesn't exist. They then case the joint.
Hopefully insurance covers it and you get back on deck ASAP.
Good Luck!

I guess your lucky they didn't injure themselves kicking in your door -- or rummaging your stuff, then you would have all kinds of legal problems ....
In the even you do find someone in your place , make sure the accident they have is there final mistake - after all, dead people cant sue.....

That's it Boc, total low life scum. And all the do gooders will be feeling sorry for them cause there on drugs. Id be giving them a permanent drug and they wouldn't be waking up again. What a friggin joke that some one breaking into your place can sue you for damage for hurting themselves. Id be kicking the shi tter out the low life scums. Hope they choke on the macca's they eat after having their hit. Sorry to hear Jim hope all pans out ok for you.Regards Steve
