That is depressing to say the least...they really wanted his kit ! I've had a taste of having your kit nicked and it's not one I would want to repeat..when you bust your mahooochas off week in week out to earn a crust having vermin having your kit away is a very personal thing !
Hope he has a bit of good fortune and hangs in there

What area of the country was this?
Hope they catch them and can them
andover, hampshire
this happened just outside of andover where there is about 12 units, all of them where broken into but his was the only one who had his tools knicked, they have security gates at the front of the entrance with camaras but they came in across the fields and through 2 fences

bloody terrible, hope they catch the scum, but they don't often do. too busy handing out speeding tickets.
Hope he gets himself set up again soon!
BEWARE
In Andover during the past 2 weeks a friend of mine has had his house burgled, they took TVs, games consoles, cars and the kids xmas presents. Another friend had a cement mixer stolen from a job in Andover (East Portway), he had left it unattended for 10mins!
where are the thieves selling this stuff - when no-one has any spare money??????????? even £70 for an old stihl saw , people will think a while as cost of living is so much & no work !!! ??
Alot of them seem to use it as cowboys in whichever trade they robbed that day as they "travelled" through the area.
Round Leeds you often get the Door to Door "tree work" "Local landscape services" etc from the travelling community as they pass through the area.
Their visits usually coincide with a wave of tradesmen being cleared out of their equiptment. I suppose its the same warning as usual - Make you stuff as secure as possible and keep it out of sight.

Not good.
So what methods do you good folks use to help prevent theft? I was quite interested in this

as one method to help with the retrieval of property.
i agree with marking your tools but it doesnt matter how they are marked, if someone is going to nick them and just sell them on then they are not going to be bothered if the tools are marked or not, the thiething little fuc-ers are going to take them no matter what
