We are surrounded by scumbags, they are lurking everywhere.. Work hard and they will target you, this country is broken and its getting worse everywhere…DONT VOTE FOR THE TWO CORRUPT IDIOT PARTIES…
Trouble is,JB the law has become such an arse, thanks to the do gooders, that they will protect the scum rather than it’s victims. You catch one of them and dare to touch them and see who gets nicked. And this thick as shit government seem to think they should get loads of free money instead of the workers getting help to pay their bills.
Best to look out for them on Wightbay or EBay.
Some right scum out there, without tool’s these guy’s can’t work and look after their family. If caught they need everything they own removed and sold to cover costs of stolen tools and loss of income. Then they need a prison sentance without perks!.
Word off advice don’t leave your tools in your van overnight
Some people sadly don’t have a choice
Kev,
After a long hard days work sometimes you just want to get home put your feet up and relax!!
I was always told don’t touch what isn’t yours.
And leave the van outside a garage for two days ridiculous
It was waiting to have work done… Come on, lets aim the blame at the right place!
It was in for work don’t think the van owner thought he was that weekend going to be a victim of crime!! Some lowlife stole tools that didn’t belong to them,What part of that do you find hard to understand?!
Don’t think it really matters how long it was parked there for! It doesn’t give people the right to break in to it
Quite right and it’s surly totally voodoo to steal another man’s tools… I mean..come on..you just don’t do it… its gonna be bad karma for whomever I reckon..
Sad but true..
I bet you own a caber…
A better alternative would be to not leave criminals when caught free to re-offend.
Even better would be, not to pay low life to breed these feral chavs which don’t need to work using their clones as free rent, c.tax and income, so they have all day or night to then steal, smash up cars, drug deal, and mate with any painted up chavette, to keep another scattered clone housed and fed by all of us who do work.
it don’t work like that..
This makes me so furious, It happened to me in 2021 in Shanklin.
I know how the owners must be feeling, how do people live with themselves stealing from hardworking people who’ve worked hard for what they’ve earned.
If, it’s a big IF the police can be bothered?! They weren’t with me, exhaust all avenues in catching these lowlifes please!! Yes we do have insurance but that’s not the point.
I do have tools if you need anything, welcome to borrow anything.

Non working benefit claiming useless rats that did this you are the lowest form of scum and your not worthy of the benefits you get, Hard working people have to pay for tools and pay tax on them, insurance and business rates aswell as pay taxes on income to support you scum! This island has gone to the dogs with the lowest form of people!
Sick thing is, these thieving low life ass*oles are probably claiming more free hand outs than the poor sod who’s tools they stole.
Time to smash some hands of these scum
The system is just broken, offer free money to people with kids who won’t work and then give them more if they have more kids, what do they think is going to happen? All these parents have to do is make sure they aren’t living together, then the system is forced to provide two homes and throw money at whichever parent has the children. It’s so easy to ‘play’ the system…
This is the problem. What other country pays low life piss/snort/smack heads NOT to work, and they never will, but questions OUR pensions that WE have paid in for 50 years, and OUR benefits for money to get help with. This shit government needs to get heads together with the DWP and question why this is being allowed to happen, because OUR money is being taken from us to pay all the free loading waste of space shite. They are about to be given even more free money to snortwith while a workman struggles to pay his mortgage. It’s time some some priorities and priciples were met.
Not all people on benefits are rats or thriving scum. You should rethink your narrow-minded comment. Some people on benefits are on benefits for health reasons, physical and mental. Some people are completely unable to work. I agree some people on benefits abuse the system but not all.
Whom ever did this, not only wrecked the van, they also took away the means of how this person, robbed provides for their family.
How they home them
How they feed them
How they cloth them
How they care for them.
The vermin also knew the van was there that night for repairs, and knew tools were inside.
Clearly, they were pretty daft leaving the tools in the van. Who is silly enough to leave expensive power tools in a van these days? Obviously, they have zero chance of making a successful insurance claim.
Crims have no fear of getting caught, the Tories cut the police so much. And they want to cut more to buy votes with a fake tax cut.
Need to get the closed prisons reopened, and some decent coppers and judges and bang these scum up.
Why is it that a section of todays society think that they have the right to just take from others that actually work hard for what they have? Is this sense of entitlement instilled in schools, by parents, media, what?We had our van broken into not just once, but several times and it’s not just bad luck, this unfortunately is the ‘norm’.This has happened overnight, during the day – outside jobs, in retail car parks, on private driveways etc in different parts of the country.There are times when it’s not possible to empty a van when working. It’s not just the loss of the tools, it’s the damage to the vehicle and the time and money of being out of action, and impact on insurance premiums too.
Scum a hard beating needs to had ..bugger all will happen poor sod van fucked tools gone evil shits..
im sure popo won’t do nothing..
Personally, I wouldn’t leave high value tools in my van when I was leaving it at a garage. How did the theives know there were tools inside? It is possible that someone at National Tyres might know the answer.
Yeah Dave I agree with you. The chance of coming across a van to break in and having nothing to take wouldn’t be worth the risk to the criminal or criminals but if they had information the tools were in then it makes it a good target
Just for a bit of balance, while I was working for a major employer on the island, starting salary £28k for the untrained newbies and more as you learned the ropes, the amount of thieving that went on was shocking. Tools from the shop floor, colleagues phones, prepaid lunches from the fridges (with names on so no mistaking them,) bicycles from the front racks. ( No access without an electronic pass so it wasn’t outsiders). That’s working people. On good money. It’s not always the unemployed and people on benefits. I think it suits some people’s ‘hate agenda’ to punch down. Give your heads a shake people. Not everyone is a wrong ‘un just because they don’t fit your preferred demographic.
should all be sacked ‘bloody good money on island anyone touch my stuff would of got a punch in the face would’nt do it again..
Unfortunately Bob, how would you know who did it? 4 different shifts overlapping and staggered start times. Too many people coming and going and nobody ‘sees’ anything.
Seems could be more to this story.. was it just this van targeted seems very precise at a garage compound. Or maybe a dodgy garage worker tipped the criminals off what that van had inside????
