I give up: Thieves suck! |
|
|
I had (2) Harris butt sets stolen in the last 2.5 months. The first one
was stolen out of my truck at a worksite.
The second was stolen along with a toner set, 3 impact tools, 3 stud sensors, 1-UTP jacket
remover tool, and a DMM.
My friends jacket was stolen at the same time, and used to hide the goods we are guessing. We we
at a grade school, and we were putting in a power pole. We shut the door and went to Mcdonalds
for lunch.
I just about had it..I am going to start billing extra money into my quotes for
thievary.
Luckily I forgot to bring my brand new Omniscanner2 tester, I would have jumped off a bridge is
some slimeball stole it! |

That really sucks, Joe. I feel your pain!
Just out of curiosity, what school was it at?
We all gotta be careful, sometimes even lock the truck.

Dmitri,
I have never had ANYTHING stolen before ever before these past 2 months. Man
some people really do suck.
I am probably like I said start charging more to recover stolen property,
cause with all that was in that bag is like $600 in tools.
Later
Joe

Nah, the school's janitors are a joke. They probably are the ones who stole
the tools. We shut the door, and the classroom wasnt even being used. So, it
had to be someone who works at the district who saw us in there. I was so
pissed cause I just bought the new butt set which was a replacement for the
one stolen 2 months ago.

I obviously understand what's driving your desire to recover the cost of
the tools, but I don't see how the customer would ever find it
justifiable. On the other hand, if you don't tell them why your price
suddenly became $600 more, then you just became $600 less competitive.
Besides, things get lost by natural causes, too, like drop from 12' ladder
or something or left in a ceiling that's been closed later. So the
customer would expect you to have some kind of the tool replacement
overhead ALREADY built into your price.
So, I don't think it's as straight forward as: "It's your school, you are
paying for my trouble" - type of deal.
What is your insurance company saying, anyways? Is it at least above your
deductible? Do they cover loss due to theft? Well, if they don't, then
someone else might, so it may be a reason to look around for a new insurer.

Dmitri,
I wouldnt just add on $600 dollars for the hell of it. I would spread out the
loss of clients throughout the year. For example, add $25 here $40 dollars
there. You see what I am saying? I havent checked my insurance for theft
coverage.
