Tool theft ? Adopt sharia law for the perps Imo

When I lived up country, about 20 years ago, my van was broken into on 3 occasions over about 4 years. By pure luck, on each occasion I was working on a full refurb and most of my tools were left onsite which was reasonably secure so losses from the van were minimal, 100 quid tops. Conversely, a mate parked in B & Q for 15 minutes and his van was emptied, maybe £5k worth of kit, that was by travellers who targeted the area for about a week.
When I moved to Cornwall it wasn't something I worried about (although it did happen to a much much smaller extent). Retired now so not a concern but my heart goes out to anyone who is a victim of tool theft, it is a horrible crime and the affects on the victim are more far reaching than the financial loss.

Its funny I was working next door to a cash converters shop today and in the window was a sthil saw and a sthil chain saw and a stihl leaf blower, I just thought straight away some poor landscapers gear has been robbed.

The government should ban the resale of tools in places like Cash Converters, because of the very high chance they are stolen. Same for a number of car boot sales. Tradesmen never sell their tools.
