[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 11126, member: 175057"] Lovely surprise today, popped into the huge B&Q superstore this lunchtime to buy a pack of three mains timers for a friend and some wild bird seed for the garden feeder. Not too onerous I hear you say, you would of course be correct. if I hadn't gone back out to the van, to find that some $!%*@# had broken into the back of my van and stolen my £350 battery drill. Stealing the drill itself is an inconvenience, particularly as I must replace it immediately as I cannot work without it, what is more of an inconvenience is that they have completely knackered both locks and surrounding bodywork on both nearside doors. The damage to the locks and bodywork is probably around £500 to repair, but bearing in mind that there is a £100 excess and I will lose 20% no claims (around £280), there is no point in putting in a claim, tools aren't covered. To sum up, the knuckleheads who stole the drill which they'll probably sell for £50-£100 in a pub, have cost me £800 plus. When I phoned the police to get a crime number, he asked if there was any blood at the crime scene, to which I answered, no, unfortunately I didn't get back soon enough. [/QUOTE]
