Somebody stole some very expensive tank badges from my workshop, I found the jiffy bag they had been stored in but the badges are gone.

There is a new rule at Spanners workshop...NOBODY is to be left unattended at any time, even for a nano-second.

Feckin' hell, where is the brotherhood these days???

Brother, how I can scratch my ***** if you won't leave me unattended...but that really does suck big time. I knew this guy many many years ago that stole off everyone...even his mother, just to feed his habit.

Yeah, I am pretty sure I know who took them, I'll leave it to his conscience to see if they turn up in my mail box one morning....in the mean time, it has to be one rule for everybody until I get them back.

I know the feeling ... I've had several things stolen from the garage over the years and the real pisser is that if they needed it that bad I'd have probably given it to them ... Friggin' Thieves Suck

Probably not, I thought I had a good relationship with everybody who came here to get stuff fixed.

Good looking badges on your tank Kee's...

Seriously though, that sucks.. MY brother inlaw would instantly just start rummaging through my toolbox and anything in my shop whenever he would visit.. Never really caught him stealing anything, at least not maliciously, but the shop is never open when he visits anymore, unless I'm right next to him.. Hope it get to him and he returns them to you, guess it really doesnt matter where you are in the world, people are people..

If they come back to me nothing will be said, if I see them on their bike then the next person they see will be a doctor.....

What burns is that everybody who comes here (and that was a fair few people over Christmas/New Year) is supposed to be a mate or a mate of a mate (I work by word of mouth mainly) so I can't trust anyone anymore....it isn't about the money...

To be honest, the way I am feeling right now I wanna shut the workshop down. Its a part-time "hobby with benefits" I don't need the money but I do need the peace of mind and right now I don't have any.
