Yep, again one of the vans was stolen on fridaynight.My men misunderstood eachother so the van was left on our ( private) parking with the keys in it..... Yep, away saterdaymorning. Police etc... And Yes, Sunday morning she was find , parked and closed , the other side of Belgium. ( no big deal , Belgium isn't great  ) So , that was my sunday , retrieving that van. They removed the bed sides , perhaps to steel something BIG ?


So i assume there are more nights in which those b#@*#s  are feeling our doors for easy theft, because you can't see or smell from the street which van has his keys on it !


After the first theft we installed alarm , now we think a fence with gate ... etc. So what did we earn this weekend working with 10 legal men ? Bed sides for aliens.

Sorry to hear of your van being stolen, Norbert. 

At least you got it back all in one piece.  Over here, they strip it down and all you get back is the frame and what they didn't want.  

At least you've got to be thankful for that.

Norbert, don't leave any fuel in your vans!! That way, they won't get too far!!
It sux when people steal the things we need to make our livings.
We've had people steal cars right off our parking lot, in broad daylight, at the shop. We try not to leave the keys in them, but sometimes...
Good to hear you recovered it, anyway.

Sorry to hear that Norbert!!  That would bumm me out too!

There's a guy where my husband works that's had his Dodge Pick-um-up Truck stolen twice in the employee parking lot.  They found it both times, but the last one........in pieces.

[/QUOTE] Yeah, Smith & Wesson S&W sounds better  .......I've got an old S&W 38 detective special with a real short barrel & some hollow points to go along with it......  But, like you said, it's not worth goin' to jail.  Maybe you should stick with the BIG Gators!
