Well, I've read many posts here through the years where I've sympathized over someone being robbed- today it was me. Someone broke into two of our trucks and stole a bunch of gear and equipment. So, if you are in NJ (or close) let me know if you see any climbing gear, Stihl saws and blowers or gaffs! /forum/images/graemlins/bur2.gif
 
That's terrible news, Mark.

I wonder if it's possible at all that some of you guys posting shots of your equipment in your yards could be used as means of "casing the joint".
 
You could be on to something Glen, but I doubt it on this particular case. There was a break in down the road last week and this job was all small stuff. They left behind some saws that were in the same box as ones they took too? Go figure.

But, on the bright side, the Devils are up 3-0 right now. /forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
There's very few things worse than getting your trucks robbed....and the vermin that did it, just human garbage.

I've noticed alot of these breakins happen with the approach of spring, as if somebody is trying to gear up for the coming season.
 
Sounds like they were in a real hurry and/or couldn't carry too much....same thing happened to me, 2x, they got a tool box open and took a bunch of gear and saws but left some laying right there.
 
I'll keep a look out being I'm in the county over from you Mark. If you could just make a short descriptive list I'll be sure to let you know if I see anything.

I'm hear too many stories about stolen gear, I think I'm gonna have to lock my stuff up being it is personal gear and not the companys.
 
f---ing cowards. if i were to find the punks that stole my gear, i would do nothingshort of breaking there f---ing hands. there is a rule that you don't f--- with a mans livelyhood.
 
Sorry to hear about your loss Mark.

Wonder how long before chips are put in chainsaws?

Location chip or remote detonation chip I can hear the salesman say.

Dan
 
I think remote detonation Chip would be cool. That sucks Mark sorry for your loss, hope you or someone catch's the M_______s. Probably treehacks since they took your climbing gear.
Our favorite Saw shop guy up here lost 43 saw's (johnny's and stihls) on New years, they cleaned him out. I imagine they went south to the hurricanes.
Someone Stole TNT's new Carlton Junior bout 2 months back. I'd cream my jeans for a shop I could get all the trucks and gear inside.

Maybe start a stolen equip log somewhere on the buzz. Longshot but maybe if one smuck got caught it'd be worth it.

Good luck with Insurance -- Still waitin for my stumper check.
 
Damned scumbags, flogging a workers tools is the lowest form of crime. Deadbeat wankers need a good flogging.
 
Yes, they should be flogged, but it should be done when they've come down off the high they funded with the loot so they can feel every lash.
 
Sorry to hear about that mark, we had some one steal a utility truck and trailer loaded with mowers saws and my personal climbing gear! Kinda makes you feel violated....bastards /forum/images/graemlins/icon13.gif
 
I know what you guys mean we got hit the Thursday before Christmas, took my wife's Christmas present, had it in my office so she couldn't find it, she's a peeker. But the got my Lap-top, printer, and some new Bull line i was demoing for All-Gear.
Took all of my lead forman's climbing gear, about $4,000.00 worth. All my files and all the made chain that we had.
The dumb asses did leave 2 spolls of chain that i just bought right next to the front door along with my 2 kids Christmas gift, a doll house that i had spent the night before putting together.
Crack heads, there is no way they could sell most that stuff, just breaking in to steal !
 
Well, I was in a real bad mood all day yesterday. I had little faith in the "good" of people. Then I went home, saw my family, drank a beer, talked about it here on the Buzz, and watched the Devils win. I started to feel a little better.

Then a dog was at my side door. My dog was playing with it. I went outside and grabbed him to see his tag because my wife said that it looked like a neighbors dog. Sure enough, it was chomper. I called my neighbors. The owner came to grab the dog and to thank me. He said that he was sorry, but he just returned from the hospital 10 minutes earlier. I asked if all was okay? He informed me that all was fine- his wife had just given her friend one of her kidneys! /forum/images/graemlins/bigeyes.gif And in one quick moment my faith in the human spirit was restored. /forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Then this morning I set out to take a crew to remove a 50" dying Oak and couldn't locate my new 460 Arctic and a 660. Guess what-turns out that they were stolen too! /forum/images/graemlins/swear_mad.gif
And in one brief instant I now renewed my hatred!

The list is too long. Smokey's harness, Rory's T2's and his 200T and 192T, some of my gear including a cube with german writting on it, my MS460 A with a XX Timbersports bar (not many of those out there....the list is a three pager.
