Friday morning via Facebook thanks to my wife and the communities on there that are set up to find stolen cars we found my vehicle.

It was 240kms away crashed on the side of the road.

Unfortunately all of my tools were stolen they opened the boxes and removed tools draws and all.

They stole all of my consumables too.

Insurance is still assessing the car and my business insurance said the missing tools are car insurance problem because it’s parked in a residential premises and are my personal property.

Car insurance will cover 1500 dollars or tools. Unfortunately I had around 50k of tools etc in my ute.

This weekend I spent 10k on tools and am obviously still far behind.

I have hired a ute and bought tools so I’m back to work now since I have no other options really, I need an income to support my wife while she has no job since she’s on maternity leave.

I’m really only writing this to put some thoughts out, I think I’m having a rough time but it’s just life. One for before the other and keep going you know.

I’m going to put up some photos of the car and perpetrator in the comments just so they’re out there too.

    So you stored $50,000 worth of tools in a vehicle worth, I dunno, $50-80,000+ itself… with $1,500 worth of insurance?

    You should probably hire someone to make business decisions in the future.
