** Stolen ** MIG welders, compressor, hand tools. **

[Lewis.]

A mate of mine had his workshop broken into on Tuesday night, and had a few grands worth of stuff taken. :mad:

The workshop is near Bourne, South Lincolnshire, and was broken into sometime between 9pm Tuesday night and dawn.

If anyone is offered, or hears of the following things being sold in the area cheap, or has any information regarding the theft, please PM me.

Stolen:

Cemont, 340 amp, 3 phase MIG welder. A bit scruffy, but has a brand new torch and earth clamp fitted.
Migatronic 281, 180 amp single phase MIG welder. Couple years old, and the handle is broken
150 litre air compressor. Mobile one, red in colour, covered in overspray and no brand is visible
Bluepoint Socket sets. 3/8" service set, 1/4" set, and spanners
Bosch blue 4 1/2" grinders
Pro-Tram Mill tramming guages. brand new in their box
They also rummaged through many other boxes,cupboards and shelves, leaving behind many power tools and other easily stolen/sold items, as though they were looking for something, no doubt keys for the fork lift, to steal the lathes, mills and drills too, so they could deal in these things also, if that helps.

Any information will be gratefully recieved, Thanks

I know, it makes you sick doesn't it. Apparantly several other workshops and cars were targeted in Bourne the same night too.

It's a shame did he have insurance, my dads cousins work shop was robbed not that ling ago all his hard work over the years to build it up and in one night it was nearly all gone

[Lewis.]

nah you can't get that sort of cover for a wooden shed unfortunately, so he'll have to stand it. he's currently sleeping in there with a shotgun cos hes frit they'll be back with a hi-ab for the macines lol

[turbojolt]

Same reason me dads cousin didn't have insurance lucky enough his dad my great uncle had a couple grand spare to get him going again, let's hope they show up and leave with just some lead for there efforts
