Would it help to have a forum to report stolen tools? As this group grows, so do the chances of finding some of this stuff.

Chris.....Without sounding like the ass that I truly can be, stolen tools are part of "the cost of doing business". You will not make the same mistake twice.

The odds of you recovering your tools is slim even if you have serial numbers for everything!

If they get pawned, you MIGHT recover them! Other than that, let it go and begin anew.

There is NO JUSTICE to be had!


Ever bought any "cheap" tools off a skell? A lot of contractors have.

[Chris G]

Oh no, I wasn't looking to recover my mitre stand, I already bought a new one. It rocks!! I am over it. It was more in response to the guy who had his trailer stolen, and the guy who had his truck stolen. I think something can be done to deter theft by reporting it, and making it more difficult for people to sell them. It shouldn't be a cost of doing business, but I know it is. Maybe I am just dreaming.

Hmm, you have me thinking.

Do it cole! Make it happen!

[Chris Johnson]

Biggest problem is if we all reported our missing/stolen items the web host would probably run out of space and crash!!!!!!!

I carve swashtikas on all my tools with a grinder.
So the thieves are using tools with swashtikas on them.

Good stuff!!!!

I was thinking that N.Y.P.D. or where ever you are from would be a good idea.

Check out www.stealitback.com I did some work at there Los Angele's warehouse. I'll bet some one on this site has some stuff for sale.
