Someone broke into our garage early Saturday morning.I woke up at 0700 to find the garage door open. They cleaned out our garage. They took my snow blower, all of my saws,(miter saw, tile saw,table saw, scroll saw, sawzall). ll were on shelves in original boxes against the wall next to the camper. I was working a side job on Friday during the day so I took all of my tools out of the car and left them in the garage because I was going to use them on Saturday and didn't want to leavethem in the car when we went out Friday night. Everything is gone. We are figuring the cost to replace all of the things at today's cost is around $5500.00. It just really sucks. The police think they were after the snoiw blower and once they got into the garage found that they struck paydirt. We are now working with the insurance company to get eveything replaced. What a hassle!!

I've had my tools stolen before, and it is so demoralizing. They took the means by which I make my living! I literally was in a daze for quite awhile, because I couldn't go to work and do anything... I understand exactly what you're going through.

Sorry that really does suck!! One of our cars got broken into a few weekends ago. They only got away with around $500 worth. What the heck is wrong with these people!!!

Sorry Dan that this happened to you. I can certainly feel your pain. Has happened to us twice since we have lived in our house. It sucks. The violation feeling is awful. Hope they catch the creeps. In our case no one was ever arrested even though the second time I know who did it and made sure the cops did as well. When they went to confront the jerk about it, everything of ours was gone, so of course no proof. Creep still walking around.

Hope you are able to replace what was lost...

Most of the people who steal aren't desperate - they're just lazy bat-turds!

You might want to start checking out your local pawn shops. Even if you don't find your stuff you may find replacements for a good deal.

At the time there was still a lot of snow and unplowed drives and streets from the last blast. We also get snow up until the end of March beginning of April.

The hits just keep on comming. Luckily the Insurance will replace everything at today's value. I just got home thismorning from the hospital. I have been in since Tuesday afternoon with Pnuemonia, Streep and possible Congestive Heart Failure. They were able to rule out the CHF so I was and am still down with the Pnuemonia and streep but at least I am home now.

A friend of mine from PC had several earth-moving vehicles stolen from his work yard about six months ago. He was able to find them on Ebay! Technology works in mysterious ways.

Dude, but a lotto ticket! Your luck has to take a severe turn for the better!

Yep, the fence of the digital age. I've often wondered if that great deal I've gotten on ebay was someone else's misfortune.
