My van was broken into last night between 10pm-1am. The ... bags have stolen ALL my carpet cleaning equipment and my ability to earn an honest living. They have stolen over £6000 worth of equipment and I am at serious risk of losing my business now after 10 years of trading. The police have informed me that there are professional thieves that have key fobs that can unlock any van and turn off the alarms. There was no damage to any locks on my van and the alarm was de-activated. This is a list of the stolen items, if you hear of any carpet carpet cleaning equipment for sale PLEASE contact me directly.
PROCHEM DV1700 extraction machine, blue and grey with large clear dome lid.
PROCHEM STEAMPRO extraction machine, blue and grey with 2 grey lids.
2 x 25feet of extraction/solution hose, blue and grey.
2 x 2 jet floor wands, one with missing trigger.
Numark rotary floor scrubber with water tank attached.
PROCHEM stair tool.
Sahara Pro air mover/carpet dryer.
ALL the equipment is LARGE and heavy and is for professional use, they would of needed a LARGE van to move it all. PLEASE keep you ears open, these ... have destroyed my business which I have worked VERY HARD to get up and running.
Please email me at [email protected] if you hear of anything matching this description or call me on 07955 326558
Thank you
Russell

Sorry for your situation, you must be gutted. Some "people" out there will take anything from anybody - they have no conscience. I just hope your kit was insured...

it was insured but the insurance wont pay out as there was no forced entry. Insurance is a rip off.

sometimes some of the more common swear words don't quite describe these people.

Yes, I guessed that. A little proofreading before posting would have helped. wink

So let me understand this: if my house was broken into, my car keys/fob were in the house (even locked in a safe) and the thieves then used them to steal my car, the "insurer" would not pay for the car because "the keys were on the premises"?
That is insane!! Why would anyone pay an insurance company a cent in premiums, for non-coverage like that? Yikes!

I suspect that the premises were unoccupied and that's what made the difference.

So the insurance only applies when they`re open?

No, but if the premises are unoccupied the keys should not be left there. I suspect it was in the insurance conditions.
