In this video, Sam and Jen share their experience of a break-in at their rural workshop, where tools were stolen. They suspect thieves discovered their location through social media. Despite having CCTV, the burglars avoided detection by exploiting blind spots. Sam regrets not setting the alarm before leaving on holiday and emphasizes the importance of marking tools for recovery. He’s now upgrading security with reinforced doors, more cameras, and motion sensors. Skill Builder surprises Sam with a new impact driver and a driveway alarm. The video also advises on protecting geolocation data in photos and offers tool-marking tips.

Best thing I can recommend is those lockable boxes a lot of sights allow you to keep them on sight. Obviously residential is different. One thing I would say (no racism just facts) if a traveller sight sets up near be extra careful with your tools I don’t care if it offends people! I care for fellow tradesmen!

Good idea with lockable boxes, but for home base, bolt them to the floor.

Got myself a set of letter/number punches. You can heat those up with a torch and melt your name in your tool casings. Also you can use the punches to punch your name into the metal parts of your tools. Not going to prevent anything, but at least they can't get your name of it.

I had my van broken into a few years ago and it about broke me. I can't describe the feeling in the pit of your stomach when you discover your livelihood is stolen from you. I've spent thousands in the last few years to protect my trade but I still sleep uneasy at times knowing if they want what you have they will take it if they are determined enough and what is just as sickening is the fact they do it knowing full well the law won't catch them 99% of the time.

@davidr8985 Час назад

Devastating news!! I completely understand how mortified they are, we had similar circumstance where my workshop was broken into twice within 2 weeks - clearing what they had left the previous time. I didn’t expect it would occur again, but that seems to be what stats shows. They gained entry to my property from the open farm fields where the rear of my garden overlooks. Quite similar to Sam. They gain entry by breaking the glass window. I had to change window with shatterproof perspex. Approximately 6-7 months after, a police officer attended with a goody bag containing an array of security devices e.g locks, bolts and uWatch subscription+cameras , selectDna etc. The biggest change to be honest was to grow a hedge, obscuring the likelihood of untoward individuals scouting properties from the fields. It does mean we also forgo the beautiful scenery.

@Gneeznow 18 минут назад

@thetek2006 Час назад

Absolute scum. They probably scoped the place previously to get the lay of the land, perhaps with a pair of night vision goggles which would show all the infra red transmitters on the cameras from a decent distance away without the need to go on the property.

The catalytic converter was stolen from my vehicle shortly after Google street view was updated to, for the first time, show my vehicle parked in front of my home. It may be helpful to have your home shown on Google when it is on the market but otherwise remember that criminal gangs also use Google for planning.

@jamesmartin2325 20 минут назад

Losing your tools and your livelihood is one thing, they can be replaced eventually, and hopefully any potential income lost can be earned back, but the thing I find the worst is the mental anguish caused, the thoughts of ‘will they come back’, ‘what lengths will they go to’ etc. It’s not the same I know, but we’ve recently had lads coming up our drive trying car doors all down the street. Horrible, worthless scrotes the lot of em!

@elobiretv 2 часа назад

Sad to hear but it just shows that if you have security fitted like his alarm then you need to use them or it's just useless. They'd be straight through those locks and latches in seconds too, I'd be putting something a lot sturdier than that in place and not just some lock you get for £5.

@cratecruncher4974 Час назад

Tough break. Hope you recover your loss. It sounds like someone you know cased your place over a long period of time. Former employee? It's important to HIDE the cameras and have the files automatically upload to the cloud and a copy to your phone in real time. With video evidence you will get a conviction.

It's possible that when you were out on a job that your work van was marked with a gps tracker. Easy to track back to your home or workplace. Then, scope your property and leave a tracker on the family car. When zero movement and/or parked miles away, they have a clear opportunity to steal.

@y002cjw Час назад

If yove used a security company to set up your cameras, have you considered there may be a leak there.

@eltamarindo Час назад

Regarding tool theft, how many of these tools stay in the UK? --and how many are immediately put on a truck and transported out of the country? In the United States, in cities near the major ports, a great deal of stolen merchandise and even automobiles are packed inside shipping containers and sent overseas. Are tools high enough value that they leave the country or are they more likely to show up locally where tracking serials and tool marking will pay off?

You want to go to the budget shipping containers website or one of the others, you can buy one for a grand or just over sometimes, cheaper than you could build anything yourself anyway, and that's about as secure as you can get these days. Give it a lick of paint.

@davidmullett1152 45 минут назад

I'm told there was a time when at least some thieves had principles, and it was a general consensus that stealing a working man's tools was a pretty low life act. All else on site were probably fair game but you could be fairly sure your level and trowels stayed put. How this country has changed! Now I believe shop thieves in London and other cities, no longer hide their stolen items but load them into bags or trolleys and barge past security who are told not to put themselves in harms way. And to top it off, goods with a value less than £200 will not even be investigated. I go back on my words, this country has not changed, it has died!

@davem3045 40 минут назад

You must be all over your tool security these days. Locks, alarms amd lights are cheap in comparison to the headache and cost of theft. Ring floodlight cameras are cheap and effective

@CorwinBos Час назад

Mark your tools, as in engrave them clearly so its legible. A sticker can be scraped off. Document what you own, photos, purchase receipts, and SNs if they have one. Insure it all. Always have more insurance then the value of the tools and keep that documentation up to date with the insurance company. Store them securely. This includes bars on windows and steel access doors. Insurance companies like this as it shows you are serious about security. Security cameras are the last line of defense and can help catch who did it. Lastly? A big dog! :)

Is there property insurance in the UK?

@douglasreid699 Час назад

yes, as well as business liability insurance. but if you put a claim in, it puts your average cost of insurance up over many years, sometimes its not worth making a claim and just replacing the tools when can afford to. it also depends if the small print of the policy covers the location and tools too.
