the link on the original post shows the cctv of them taking it, and i have another of them arriving on the corner, but no number plate visible, i have reported it to the police and they have emailed me to say someone will contact me asap. So probably sometime next week. figured i would get the cctv on the net to try and create bit of awareness.

I'm sorry Aqueous Design, but I wouldn't hold out much hope. I have CCTV of people running into one of our warehouses, taking a boiler off the shelf, and dashing back out, shoving it in a van, and driving off. Its happened about 4 or 5 times to us, and probably 50 times across the south east to various merchants in the last year. The police go through the motions, but if no-one is hurt, its a low priority crime - just like nicking tools from vans. One day, we'll catch one of the b'stards, and that day the cctv might just malfunction briefly. 🙂

leaving a boiler in the street or leaving shutters open...you are asking for trouble...if i take a old boiler out and leave it outside ,its gone within 15mins,so a new one has no chance...... get real.....

Nah.

Lots of people take old boilers out and leave them on the pavement for the scrappies. Its not the same thing as taking a new, boxed, unused product. In urban areas, lots of shops struggle with space, and have to take deliveries over the pavement - that doesn't mean that they are fair game for theives. The attitude of "its your own fault" just legitimises and excuses theiving ball-bags.

"Honestly your honour, if Mr plumber didn't want me to steal his copper and spend the money on drugs, then he shouldn't have left such valuable property in a tube on top of his van, protected only by a sub-standard lock. I respectfully submit, your honour, that this negligent attitude constituted an invitation to help myself, and that therefore not only is the copper my just deserts, but Mr PLumber owes me compensation for cutting my finger on his cheap-skate lock..."

and put a 'no running' sign up in the warehouse, that'll make the buggers think twice!

But seriously, that's pretty unlucky. I suppose you can't leave anything anywhere without some scum bag trying to nick it.

True 'nuff.

so the thieves did him a favour in fact nicking the boiler ,as he was taking over the public pavement with boxs and deliveries,restricting access for pendestrians,forcing them on the road,to get knocked done and suing him or partial sighted folk,walking into the obstacle course outside his shop ....and suing..for a lot more than the cost of the boiler...

Psst.....just maybe they are part of the problem. If they would get off their fat arses they might catch someone. ( Edit crime figures are down my arsz, reporting figures are down because people know nothing gets done so why bother reporting it and politicians don't live in our world )
Its well gone so get over it. Ther aint nothing in the world bringing it back even if plod gave a ***.

Sorry to see this buddy, will keep you informed if I hear this being offered around, I am just down the road in Sidcup. They will have a job moving an oil boiler round here, might try and shift it through Gumtree or E Bay.

 

[gmartine]

I looked up the shop on google maps and I see you have a few plumbers around you...might be worth a visit or a call.

 

[newcastle phill]

Stick a "wanted must be cheap and fairly new" advert on gumtree

Gumtree - the site of choice for tea leafs

 

[gmartine]

Find a pallet and boiler packaging and fill it full of bricks and a GPS.

 

[oz-plumber]

Who's controlling the camera?
Zooming in and rotating the camera?

As for the blokes who took it, it looked a very light 130 KG's.
And they ran with it too!

Something suspicious?

Doesn't look legit to me.

I did a job earlier this year. I took the old boiler out and left it on the drive then carried the new boiler into the house. I drilled the wall and hung it on its bracket (maybe an hour) I went out to the van and the old boiler was gone
