Not my foredom grinder, not my belt sander, not my scroll saw, but some jackass snapped the hatch to my truck and yanked my tool bucket. I just priced all of the tools he got and it's going to cost me at least $250 to replace them with lower quality tools. The worst of it is that they got my rock hammer. It's from the 50's, rusted, and has a freyed strap. To everyone else it's a piece of crap and I'm sure it's been dumped by now.
The lamest part is that it belonged to my first and best mentor. He died when I was 15. Silly as it sounds that hammer represented something to me and those fuckers will never get that.
I'd trade my truck for it.

Wed, October 27, 2004 - 8:22 AMOuch. Yeah, I guess the beginning of my post might've been somehow misleading. The 3 power tools I listed were not what was taken.
I would imagine a rock hammer might do some damage though. -

Wed, October 27, 2004 - 8:26 AMShit, if you've still got the belt-sander that makes it even easier. -

Wed, October 27, 2004 - 12:23 PMThat's what I'm saying. I'll upload a pic for those of you who do not know what a rock hammer looks like. The one I had was serrated and the pic was much longer. -

Thu, November 4, 2004 - 7:10 PMcheck the pawn shops in your area, a lot of tools get sold at pawn shops.
I'm sorry for your loss, I just had someone break into my car this morning. My alarm went off so I went out there, but they had already left. -

Thu, November 4, 2004 - 9:01 PMDang, sorry. I have just let it go. I don't think I could prove any of the tools are mine except the rock hammer and nobody in their right mind would give a nickel for it.

Re: Man, some of my tools got stolen a few nights ago.
Mon, November 7, 2005 - 4:54 PMI know how you feel . last week i had $3000.00 worth of tools stolen out of my shop.most of the tools were less than a year old and had no real sentimental value. but one item that was stolen that really hurts was a hand forged , leather wraped , trim hammer that an 'old timer' carpenter gave to me when i just started out in construction twenty years ago. i dont even mind that much about the other tools , but my hammer, like yours, had a special meaning to me. but i'm not letting this go that easy. iv'e got a 'dick' on the case and he said that because there were about 15 tools stolen and each one was marked with my company name on them that it is likely that one or two of them might show up somewhere. and when they do it wont be long before we catch the crooks that did this. than it's my lawyers turn to go to work on them and score one for us. -
