Do you know the true replacement value of your garden tools and sundries
if
they get stolen?

We have had our Landrover 90 (defender) van stolen from outside our house
with all our allotment tools on board last night. Spent the day costing
replacements for everything we can remember was on-board....£726. !!!!
Frightening isn't it.
Wellies (3 pairs) alone came to £105.

Oh, Bob, how truly awful. You must be absolutely sick. Someone broke
into
a shed here and walked off with a hedge cutter a few years ago and it was
horrid to discover that next day, so I do sympathise with you. I think
all
too many people have no idea of what their belongings would cost them if
they had to replace them from scratch. We all tend to know the value of
the
costly things but forget something as simple as replacing the wellies or
the
forks and spades or saucepans or fridges! I would like to think that
every
damned thing planted with your stolen goods fails miserably!

I don't think the van was stolen for it's contents but expect they wanted
the vehicle for break-up value and spares, it's what happens to old
Landrovers as there is a ready market, the tools etc I'm sure will just be
dumped which is very sad.
