Cheers Smurf thats ever so kind to offer. A family member has given ne an advance on the payment of the jobs to be done so ive nanaged to order a replacement which comes in next couple of days.
Its just a painful reminder not to let guard down on security again.

I took three sets of ladders off my car to clean it some years back. Took my eyes off them for less than two minutes to fill a bucket with water and they were gone.  Didn't see or hear a soul. It was like magic. Now you see 'em, now you don't.

I had my van broken into today; we only left it parked up for about fifteen minutes, in a busy car park.

They removed my passenger side lock barrel and nicked a bag I'd foolishly left on display.  Inside the bag was quite a nice camera.

I liked the bag too.

We reported it to the police; there's a roaming CCTV camera there, just the one, so there's a slight chance it might be on camera.

Wor Lass was pretty angry about it, but I reckon since they've damaged the van door and nicked my camera, I'm not letting them steal my peace of mind too. So I'm doing my bestest to just let it go and hope karma gets the bugger.

Sorry to hear that Tosh. I hope they catch the scumbag.
It can be annoying enough to have stuff stolen but can also be a lot of hassle to sort out a repair too.

Ive learnt alot about positive nental thinking and not getting bogged down with things that can happen. Sadly i sometimes slip (like a good noan on here about loosing work), but on the shole try not to let things get to me.
Sinve being robbed, spoke on two occasions to police on phone. They know i have cctv footage and pictures of the event. But nearly a week later they have still to show up. If they do great, but im not holding my breath.
Sorry to hear your van got broke into, the damage/repair is a major inconvienience on top of the theft but well done for fighting urge to let it rob you oeace of mind and ur day.
I hope in karma too

Nathan you don't need to hope for Karma, it's guaranteed.
