Stolen Goods

[Hadouken]

Hi all

Unfortunately some one broke into my garage and took my Blue Kincrome Toolbox and my Mint protools RO. The toolbox as quite a lot of tools in it. I think ive managed to squeeze it to its fill.

Completely spanner set in roll sleeve.

Completely imperial and metric socket set located on the top drawer in a red plastic moulding.

Lots of other tools, pliers, screw drivers etc.

If anyone sees these kicking around please infrom me via pm or phone 0403 568 217. Or if you are not comfortable contacting me feel free to call the police as a report has already been filed.

These item were taken from the Kensington area.

Spewing as I love my toolbox and I need to start from scratch again.

Really too bad about that. God I hate scum that do this. It's really crap that we work so hard for some low life to come along and cheat you.

Sorry for your loss.

Are there any bits you really urgently need? I might be able to look in my collection to see where I have duplicates. Noth'n special - crap really but might get you by.

In the Members' Subforum Dutch, there was a thread of Free Tools.

Nothing much is left over, but for what it's worth, there's a set of screwdrivers and one of those $35 plastic cased tool sets.

Contact me if you want them.

Kinchrome is great stuff. If some of them or other tools were pretty unique, or were marked with your Lic No., let me know (or in the Members' Section, let us know), and we'll keep a watch out.

[Hadouken]

Thanks alot guys. I take your offers to heart.

Its ok, I dont need anything desperately and i would only feel bad to take your duplicates. Except for if they are already up for grabs

Also its unfortunate that nothing has been marked. It will easily dissapear into the abyss.

Once again thank you for your kind offers.

[Pezhead]

Well, my dupes are actually more like triplet or quad (and not great - like Terry's friend's Cheap plastic case set). Just let me know cause I think I have the majority of a 3/8 socket set - at least the ones you need.

No problem at all, just taking up space cause I refuse to throw them away.

Eric's a great philanthropist Dutch.

PM me too (with your addy) for those freebies, whilst I'm a couple of steps behind him.

check your local pawn shops, hopefully their stupid enough not to separate.

good luck with finding them, i dont know how id feel if my tools were taken.

...and if you have "Home Contents Insurance", anything in the garage will be covered along with an "Event No" from the police + an inventory (at retail value).

An "Excess" would be deducted though.

Some basics are on their way tomorrow.

[Hadouken]

Thats the first thing i did yesterday. Call all the pawn shops.

Terry you are a legend.

Im also going to try Repco tools until i can get myself a kincrome tool chest again.

[Pezhead]

Don't know if you are a costco member but a while back they had these fantastic stainless boxes and drawers for unbeatable prices.

I'm kind of looking now cause I do need more space to properly store my tools. Will be going soon so I'll let you know if they have 'em.

The repco stuff is actually better then the kingcrome stuff

[Hadouken]

Is this from a personal point of view?

[zebra]

I rate the Repco stuff highly too

Do you have House and contents, most places cover garage theft up to a point

[Hadouken]

Negative on the insurance claim. Its a shared garage due to being a apartment complex.

Its been safe for over a year haha. I still think its an inside job. Door wasnt broken or anything.

But the light at the end of the tunnel is, im a sparky so my tools can be claimed next financial year.

Im glad repco have good rep. I will definitely try them out.

[r32-25t]

Is this from a personal point of view?

The is from personal experience having used both more times then I can count

[Hadouken]

That is great news then.

[luke gtr]

+1 for repco branded tools.

seem the goods, and when I needed warranty on a ratchet, was sorted out, no fuss.

[Hadouken]

Ill be visiting them after work. Maybe get some good deals

[Shazbanger]

Yeah, I don't mind the Repco tools either. The SCA ones, although passable, aren't nearly as good.

Sucks about your loss mate. If you need to do something in particular, I have a fairly well equipped home garage over on the Northern Beaches if you need to use a space or whatever. You bring the beer, and we're good.

Cheers,

Shazza

Repco tools also come with a lifetime warranty!

Most of my tools are repco branded. The worse I've done is put a very minor bend in one of the extension bars of my socket set... And I may or may not have had a 2metre piece of pipe on it to do so...
