I work in an ok area of the city (Birmingham) with what I thought to be a very safe school car park. It has a big secure perimeter, lots of people walking about the front, loads of large windows facing the front and CCTV coverage. How wrong was I. How annoyed am I!
I NEVER leave stuff in my van but the one day I did, someone clocked me and made their move. I came out to grab the laptop hidden under a blanket at lunch time for the very reason of theft prevention. It seems someone parked behind my van, smashed an out of view window (despite being clearly visible to the main road) and hopped in to unload everything. Someone in work saw this dude ducking about but thought nothing of it at the time! He was caught on CCTV but the police said unless there was blood or an ID card saying who it was that "it wasn't worth coming out to see!" Fooooooooooooooooooooooook!

I lost a Laptop, Vehicle MP3 player and the thing that 'really' made it an issue ... every item of Climbing Kit I have ever owned since the age of 16. Why he took this is a mystery - it's worth nothing to anyone but me. Gutted.
