That's some total BULLSH!T!!!!!! I can't stand thieves. If there's anything I can do, i.e. lend you some tools to start off with, let me know.
[Reply]

Much appreciated Jay but I have enough guys on my job site to bum stuff off of. Gonna hit the Depot tonight and get the necessities.
[Reply]

That sucks big time.

Make up a list of stuff you need, Gare. I have about ten of everything. There's buckets of handtools I can't see the bottoms of. I'll dig around and send whatever I can find. It'll motivate me to clean the shop, too. :-)

Sorry to hear, brother! I agree to be proactive and look in the places mentioned for the tools. You didn't perchance ID them in anyway did you? I actaully met a photog that put streaks of paint on his very expensive cameras and lenses so that he would know if someone stole them- and to prevent anyone from doing just that.

Like Scott said, relax and have a stogie and don't let the bastages win! As hard as it is, that's the best advice. And, hopefully you have good insurance peeps and will be none the worse for wear sooner rather than later. Best wishes to ya!

I'm not sure what your stuff was worth, but if it is significantly more than your deductible, your homeowners policy should covers the stolen items.
[Reply]

Hopefully you did a police report? There may possibility that this is recoverable.

Also, your insurance should be able to work with you to replace items stolen.

I know your pain.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Sorry to hear that man =( Total bummer.
[Reply]

Thoughts and prayers for you bro...
[Reply]

Thanks everyone. Yes I filed a police report and will talk to my insurance people tomorrow. After talkin to a bunch of you guys along with my "other" family I am feeling much better. I know everything will work out and I am not gonna let those sumb!tches ruin my weekend.

Hope the insurance works out for you Gary, and hope the POS gets caught. You have a great attitude and I know you will not let this drag you down.
[Reply]

Sorry to hear that Gary.

I hate thieves, and was watching a sad story on the news today, and they were showing a guy in Daytona who trailered his custom Harley from Canada for Bike Week, and had it stolen today outside a bar. He looked understandably upset and it was the 6th theft this week.

They should cut these scumbag's nuts off if they get caught.
[Reply]

I did, Brother.
[Reply]

Sorry to hear Gary.

Just a bunch of @ssbags.
[Reply]

Sorry to hear about this :-) People that steal really upsets me. Luckily no one was hurt and hopefully insurance will make this right. Brighter days to come for sure :-)
[Reply]

Gary, I'm sorry dude... That blows. Gimme a holler sometime.
[Reply]

Gary, so sorry to hear this Brother. These azzwipes will get what they have coming someday. You move on with your life and forget about them. :-)

I already have JB. I am a happy go lucky kinda guy and there really isn't much that keeps me down for long, life is too short anyways. I was at work yesterday tellin all the guys about it and started feeling pretty upset again, then at the end of the day 2 of the guys on my crew and a couple guys from some other trades got laid off with no new job to go to. That would have been way worse than getting my tools stolen.

I figure it to be about $800 to replace everything that got stolen and I am just gonna start over with it. Get the important stuff this weekend and start collecting slowly but surely from there.

My Insurance is workin on what they can do but the process is gonna take a couple of days so I have my fingers crossed on that.

Thanks again for all the kind words and motivation guys. :-)
