Lost a digi manometer that way. The teenage kid took it while I went to the van. He'll probably blow into it and wreck it.
Also a small stepladder a year back. Drove off without it, went back next day and they'd never seen it.

Well, to redress the balance a little, carpet fitters nicked my Hammer, landscape gardener nicked my wheelbarrow and hacksaw (and di d a sh**e job as well). Can't really complain about the barrow though, 'cos previos builder left it behind!

Here's one to restore a bit of balance. I went to a plumbing job in a shared loft (3 flats) in the middle of Summer two years ago. Too hot and tired to remember to pick-up my gland pliers and two 12" Bahco shifters from the loft, forgot all about them until I noticed them missing a few days later. Couldn't remember where I'd left them and considered them lost.
Two years later the same customer called me back to another loft job, noticed she'd had a new bathroom fitted in my absence so the other plumber had obviously been up to the loft. I found my tools exactly where I'd left them by the hatch......a nice feeling.
Equally I used to lose Maglight AA torches on a regular basis, leaving them in lofts, etc., until one day I had to "borrow" my daughter's pink Barbie torch. I still have it 2 years later; I still leave it in lofts but now I get the customers ringing me up to remind me to pick it up next time I'm passing

First and foremost, I'd turn the water off! Failing that, close the window. Then fix the tap, then buy a new set of mole grips, go round his house, and see just how tightly they can clamp his nads!
