scumbags

[tosspot]

Got a call this morning to say "you'd better get down here mate i think your shops been robbed" click

 

great thinks i there goes the day on the clays, well priorities first eh!

 

drag my sorry *** down to shop (launderette) to find door jemmied and all seven tumble drier coin boxes scattered on the floor and all machine fronts prised open

 

please bear in mind everything was emptied at close of day yesterday so sweet FA to take

 

youd've thought that after doing a couple the dimbos would've clicked, but no they carried on regardless creating more and more damage

 

next was whether to ring old bill "pah" after ten minutes on the 0845 nonsense gave up made good the mess as by this time i had customers waiting to come in

 

managed to get through later in the day and was told some one would be there shortly, the Mrs waited for two hours then gave up

 

so the upshot

 

need 14 new locks for machines, couple of hundred quid and a wasted day

 

the thing is if i invest in better security the ***** will cause more damage next time they want to steal nothing, coz they will get in if they really want

Saw something on the TV tonight about a “Ram-raid†in which a car was used to smash its way into a shop. They tried to steal the cigarette machine but when they got it out to the car they found it was too big to get into the boot……so they dropped it a ran. They also had a go at a cash machine which proved to be empty as well.

The final tally…….nothing stolen…over £1000 worth of damage…..

I think they should be gassed and put out of their misery, as they are obviously too thick to be able to cope as a normal human being.

TP, sorry to hear about what happened, not much else I can say I'm afraid.

 

GM, there used to be an awful lot of ram raiding here a few years back. Got to the point where they started using JCB diggers to rip cash machines out of walls!

[Bagsy]

Gutless tw*ts the lot of them, like so many of todays scum.

[Mungler]

Very sorry to hear about that Pete - it is the way of the world now, but you're right it's pretty mindless / stupid.

 

Cheap CCTV?

Sorry to hear about your grief, I am self employed too so I know how it hits you in the wallet when these sort of pond creatures strike. Have you thought about leaving all you cash drawers open at night so they can see they are all empty? It won't stop them breaking in but it might save you buying new locks for the machines.

I feel for you, we all grafted for a living and the lowlife sponge or just take, I was SE all my working life and suffered the odd setback right up until I retired trucks were being vandalised and fuel nicked.

 

What PTD says makes the most sense and large signs telling (if they can read that is) the scumbags that the cash boxes are emptied every night.

 

In a way I feel sorry for plod as they are generally undermanned and bogged down with paperwork, given X no of minutes to get from one side of the county almost to the other just to satisfy ridiculous government statistics. When they do nick them all the scum get is a slapped wrist despite the damage and inconvenience caused by their mindless actions.

 

The other aspect is that if you claim on insurance you end up with an inflated premium not only to cover this loss but also any possible reoccurrence so you end up losing either way.

Sorry you are going to replace whats been wrecked , Cant you get some angle iron fitted to your door and frame so they cant jemmy it again? If not then perhaps a roller shutter door might be the answer.

I used to repair commercial laundry equipment for a living and I have changed 100's of cash boxes on both washing machines and tumble dryers.

 

My best advice is to cash up every night and leave the cash boxes sticking out of the fronts so that it is obvious that they are empty, it may be a pain in the ar** but so is changing all the locks.
