Arriving at work for a sunday shift is bad enough let alone finding the back door to my restaurant kitchen screwed shut so i walk in through the front entrance to gain access to find the place being finger printed by very blas'e police looking for finger prints then i discover they have stolen my briefcase of my personal knives stolen , I was furious , I have spent thousands of dollars on my
tools over the years and will have a very hard time replacing them insurance or not (the finest drop forged german crafted chef's knives) and various knick knacks .
They broke through a large air vent the council said we had to have and stole that 5kg of chocolate a bin and a shirtload of grog from the bar(only crappy spirits not wine!) and a fire extinguisher and even a large washing mashine which they trashed nearby.
Having been the victim of theft many times in my life and being a very security conscious person this bleep es me off no end so god help anyone i catch in the act or suspect.
Police could be a bit more sympathetic ,i realise they see this every day but when i gave a good description of the good they couldnt care less and just wrote one set of knives in a black case WTF!
I was happy to hear of the recent theft of the 100 series LC being recovered.
Its pretty hard to have faith in the system and the fellow man when this happens.
What sort of a world are we headed too .
The perpetrators arer the vicims no doubt?
So if any one sees some F.DICK knives for sale with B .Filbey engraved on them e-mail me with details or at least stab them with my sharp knives (oops i fell-38 times) .
The replacement cost of these is in the thousands.

I can relate to how you feel in the last 15 yrs we have been broken into aruond about 6 times for a total loss of over$40 000 in lost tools & damage to workshop,total recovered equipment nil, total prosicutions nil.on top of that we have had the work vehicles stolen twice recovered both times
the wifes car stolen twice & then her next car they tried to steel but it had flat battery so they never got away with it ,left it sitting in the middle of the road.
If that isnt enough i have lost 100's of $$ worth of
tools out of the work cars while out on site.it
some times makes you wonder why you bother working for your self.
at least the cops have taken prints over here they walk in give you a report number & walk out again saying send us a list of what was taken when you work it out .
best of luck, fingers crossed that they catch the buggers

Toonfish, if this is any help in lifting your spirits, we had someone clean out the back of our courier ute (with a locked canopy, I might add). Our sons swag, tollbox, chairs, tools, tow bar, heavy duty jumper leads, you name it, it was in there. The tool box was given to Geoff by my dad, who then went and died on us. It
broke my heart and that was all I wanted back out of all the stuff that went. We reported it to the Wagga police, and I said to Geoff on the Saturday well we can kiss that stuff goodbye because I didnt think the police were going to do anything. When we reported it they did not even ask what had been stolen. How did we feel then? Well blow me down, on the Sunday morning at 6.30am (bit bloody early) the police rang and said can you come straight in and identify your things because we have got it all back. Then i had to swallow my words. Everything was there except for the jumper leads. That I could live with. Believe me Toonfish, I used all them words and probly worse that you used, cause it makes you so f#*king angry that someone else has taken your stuff and what right have they got. I just hope your dilemma comes out as good as ours did. And do you know when the police went round and raided them, they needed a divvy van to cart all the stuff back to the station, these wankers had had a field day all over the neibourhood. So Toonfish don't give up hope yet, but I know exactly where you are coming from.
It does make you so **************** angry.Kind Regards
Karen & Geoff
(Happy holidaying)
