I'm a self confessed tool tart, I love my tools, really love them, if I could have my way at home, they would be in the Sitting room, parked next to me. I know I don't work any more, but I still love my tools, and they love me back, I think, anyway, if anyone so much as breaths on my tools, they had better be prepared to take the punishment due to them,I recall working in the car factory in Oxford in the 80's. We had a large tool box chest on wheels, which we chained up each night to nearby rsj's, along with ladders. Nothing ever went missing, which was surprising with the amount of stuff that got nicked from the car factory!
One chap decided to nick a car battery, hung round his neck on a rope, lodged on the cross bar of his bike, covered over by his cycling cape. Worked well, until he hit the kerb at the gate, dislodging it off the crossbar under the watchful eyes of the security guards. Least they didn't have to chase him
God forbid anyone who stole even a small terminal screwdriver, then what would ensue would be compared to the hunt for the geezer that shot JFK, no stone unturned, I promised my tools that I would look after them so, tool nickers beware and be warned. Pete the tool man Jones. And before you ask yes it's Friday the Wine is being quaffed as we speak.
