G’day guys, not really a dull story unfortunately but I just wanted somewhere to vent my thoughts about the nights events.
I work for myself have for about 18 months, started my own heavy mobile mechanic company business has been good always busy etc.
My wife just lost her job due to being 9 months pregnant and they made her position redundant. So we are relying on my sole income from working for myself.
Stressful yeah but manageable.
Unfortunately that all brings us to tonight,
At about 0100 I hear my car start up and crash through my front fence and off it went.
All my work tools all my licenses access cards to places and my work laptop.
I was fully packed to go do a service in the morning leaving at 0500 so I prepared everything in the car in advance so I just had to get up shower and go.
Now I’m sitting here at home waiting to call insurance and see what little they will do for me regarding the vehicle and tooling.
My wife super stressed since being about to give birth any time now and no prospects for an income for either of us unless I go win the lotto and buy a new car and tools.
The car isn’t really a problem though, I mean it is but it’s the tools that I’ll miss the most. I can’t even go get a job working for someone else again without having tools to do my job. Really is a shit situation Unfortunately.
Anyway happy new year guys I hope everyone else’s year starts off better then mine so far
Bastards. Stealing tools is the worst :(
Don’t forget to check if you’re covered by your home insurance (if you have any).
You might also be able to get a grant/loan from govt in the short term so you can hire tools and not have to cancel too many jobs.
Home %100 will cover this.
Also, when filing, make sure you list everything down to the brand and model. If you put socket set, the insurance guy is gonna find the cheapest socket set out there. Like $10 pot metal shit. This goes for all of it. It’ll take time but don’t skimp on this. Insurance is there to make money and pay as little out as possible.
