It could happen to any landscaper: arriving at the ute at the start of the day reveals thieves have taken off with the vehicle – and the tools and equipment kept locked and secured inside.
That's what happened to one NSW tradie interviewed by 7News this past September. Somebody stole a ute with thousands of dollars worth of tools. Tools the tradie had collected over 10 years were gone overnight. The theft was especially tough because the tradie was a sole trader, so replacing the ute and nicked tools fell completely on his shoulders.
Tool theft: who’s next?
