VAN STOLEN - SWANSEA AREA
« on: November 13, 2012, 06:31:07 pm »
Silver renault traffic. CP08 EZV.
CLEANOLOGY written on sides.

My best mates father works for his brother in law, (its a franchise) and he said they left the keys in to charge the battery, and some guys on motorbikes jumped in and drove off with the hoses attached!!

Ripped the poles out of their hands!

ps. there is 2 vans in the area, one has got a private number plate with "dug" on it. so bear that in mind before you call the cops.

And be careful out there! get a spare battery instead!

So what happened to their motorbikes?

Woods Cleaning Services has probably got them.

That's good news the van was found.

What I don't understand is why leave the keys in the ignition for any reason what so ever, regardless. Maybe I was bought up in a different world but I never leave the cab unlocked even if I'm 5 ft away but to leave the engine running?

Yup, get a spare battery instead.

Do you reckon that after driving the van for 40 miles the thieves got fed up with the sound of water sloshing around in the back so decided to dump it?  ;D

The sound of the water probably made them want to pee themselves .

Paperwork and a ladder missing.

That is really bad nice to hear they got the van back . If they have stolen paperwork relating to the business ie all his custys they will be looking to possibly take over work . That is one good reason to use a Cloud based program . Mike
