All my main machinery was taken from my van last evening. It was parked within 15 feet of my front door at about 9.30, which was in complete daylight.

I was watching TV and heard a car door slam, looked out the window to see their vehicle shooting off. They had forced the rear doors of my Kangoo with a screwdriver by punching a hole just below the lock mech'.

police came out and very helpful but don't hold out much hope of recovery.CSI coming today to dust for prints.

Now I need to sort out insurance and increased security.

I do not usually carry my chain saw as I don't use it for work, not being insured as I don't have a chainsaw ticket. Last night it was in the can as I had been using it at a friends. Luckily they didn't see it as it wasn't on the purpose built shelving but just slung behind the hand tools.

I have spent the night imagining what I could do with my loppers and a rusty penknife to these low life scum.

seriously though, if you do get offered any of this stuff let the coppers know please.

    You can get deadlocks fitted that work a bit like a front door lock. About £80 each. I use this type of lock on my rear doors http://www.screwfix.com/p/master-lock-van-padlock-hasp-set/3866d backed up with a piece of 1/4 inch steel on the other side (so the nuts are holding the steel to the doors) as these locks can be pulled off without the backing plate.

    I only chain everything up but need to get hold of one of those alarms John has really.

    I also don't leave anything in overnight, but I understand this is not necessarily practical.
