Last night someone broke into my repair shop. They busted an AC vent and climbed in. Using the garage door lift bypass, they lifted the door open. I left a large lawn mower in front of the door with a broken engine. I did not feel like putting it in a corner last night when I closed so I lazily left it inside in front of the door, lucky me. They tried moving it out of the way but it is too difficult to move. They took the key out of it and went back outside to the front of the building where I keep large commercial zero turn mower and utility vehicle. These machines are secured with large cables and are disabled electrically. So when they get to the front of the building they try cutting a few cables but are only successful at getting one cut, my demo unit that was not electrically disabled. The idiots could not get the machine started. They just left it there, key in it and now unlocked.
They must have been real frustrated because they went back to the repair shop closed the door. Ignored all the chainsaws, my unlocked Snap-On tool box with thousands of dollars worth of tools, closed the garage door and on the way out saw and took an impact Snap on Wrench belonging to my other mechanic. Climbed out the window and left.
Well before they left they took my garden hose, stuck it in the AC vent and turned on the water. God only knows how long the water was on. Again luckily for me the part of the shop that was now getting washed is slanted towards a wall that has drain holes. So nothing was damaged except for 2 security cables, one cut the other partial cut, a lot of water wasted and one missing impact wrench.
I hate thieves. You should see the mountain of lawnmowers they had to climb over, wish they would have slipped and punctured a lung with a mower blade.
Police report filed, Snap On will get to sell a new wrench, and my rear shop floors are no clean.
