    Default Rotten stinking lowlife scum!

    Went to the beach not far from home here in my little seaside town where nothing ever happens ( we had a siege yesterday!!!). Took the daughter and the grandmonsters, parked close, went "Abbing" for half an hour, got back to the ute to find that some stinking filthy lowlife piece of schidt has stolen my Makita scms.... BARSTEWARDS!!! How low can someone get to steal a mans tools of trade? The "fellow" must have been in a hell of a rush as he left nail guns, small power tools etc and just took the dearest. Rang the insurance company today to find that if my ute had been parked in my own driveway and not in public I would have been covered. Merry bloody Christmas you mongrel, mine is knackered!

    Hanging is too good for em mate.....

    You got a cash converters/pawn shop locally. Keep an eye out in there for it. Probably just some opportunistic druggie, they will sell it on quick for their next hit
    I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

    It really is a bummer mate, I can get a new saw on special for $1000..... Thats my christmas stuffed, any spare I had for a bit of time off with my kids, my grandmonsters and my special lady is now history.... I am a chippy and I need a dropsaw. Mates will happily loan me their old ones and spare ones but the saw still has to be bought sometime and the thing is on special now and is about $200 cheaper than retail.

    Default Cerial Number

    Do you have its Serial Number and a Photograph of it?

    Maybe now's a good time for others to record the Serial Number etc
    and take a Photo of their Tools.........

    NO!!! NOT That One.........

    No Ivan I don't, one of those jobs I was "Gunnado". It will be a priority for me to do just that though as soon as I get the new SCMS and I shall go right through the lot too, I willl engrave them with my name and drivers license number to boot. Some of my tools are engraved but I have not kept up to date with it.... Bugger!

    You might also want to file a police report...may not seem like much good but then at least you have some documentation if you see your saw on ebay or cash converters.

    Or if you see some other tradie using your saw on a work site.

    Good luck (looks like you could use some!)

    As hopeless as this may sound without a serial number, you'd be surprised what the police find when they nab some dude on another theft. Usually they turn up an Aladdin's cave treasure trove and have trouble finding the original owners. If you identify it visually you may get it back (ie special marks etc may be sufficient).

    You may have seen our little town on the TV news yesterday, we had a siege! A reeal piece of scum and his/her sons murdered his ex a couple of months ago and he had been on the run since last weekend. He holed up in his girlfriends holiday house just around the corner and trhreatened to blow himself up. So, after I discovered my SCMS had grown legs I went up to where the siege had been and reported it then and there. Got my police report number this morning... So the headlines should have read something like "Murderer nabbed and SCMS flogged!"

    You could try to appeal to the thieves "better" nature and post a reward, no questions asked for their return.
    this might seem nieve but a fairly well known muso did this in ST kilda and got his guitar back.
    also ring every cash and carry within 50km ,if you post a reward big enough to be more than they will get at a pawn shop, you might get them back

    sometimes life stinks

    hey , but have a happy christmas anyway

    Unfortunately this happened to me and I spotted my stuff down at the local cash convertors.

    Despite having no excuses (they had also stolen the car) all the police could do was charge for receiving stolen goods as there is no proof of the actual act of stealing...

    If they made receiving the same penalty as actually stealing it would close down another loophole for these lowlifes.

    Good one Woodhunt

    How did you Identify it?
    Did They [Mr Plod or C/Converters] require much proof?
