    Sorry to hear about this Andy. I feel your pain. Hope you find them and get the tools back. But the chance is slight. Just make sure you have everything listed that got knocked off and get good replacements vai your insurance. It's the down time that hurts.
    Cheers

    Thumbs up Re: Stolen tools and toolbox ballina nsw FOUND

    The Police have found my toolbox with all tools still in it, they managed to trace the tools to me through the serial numbers.

    I now have it locked up much better on my ute

    Very Happy Now

    The people that stole them actually crashed their vehicle into a garden and they apparently came out and were found in the garden by the owner, they took of though and haven't been found.

    Hey Simo, this rain is a nightmare, I am about a week behind, today is looking better though, hopefully the ground will dry out soon, as can't get ride on mowers onto any jobs yet, I am mainly based in Lismore though and I think Ballina has been copping it more

    Sounds like they'll be caught by the police for one thing or another...or both
