Thieves are the lowest kind of people.

Today at 8:30am my truck got broken into in the parking lot of Lowe's by 10 and Callahan .
besides the door damage they grabbed a plastic tote with powertools and other stuff plus a Hilti jackhammer.
The officer only took a report and didn't even bother to check the camera ( I was parked 50 feet from the entrance for about 15 minutes) told me to take it with the insurance.
Thieving is a profession nowadays because the cops don't want to spend time finding them.
Hope they catch their hands into a wood chipper.

Sorry about your loss, but the probability of recovering your items is slim. I worked several SAPD asset seizure auctions, and a majority of the items being offered are power tools.

Property crime, and especially vehicle burglaries, is abundant in any major city; and San Antonio is no exception.

Did you fill out one of these?

https://www.sanantonio.gov/Portals/0/Files/SAPD/Forms/Property-Crimes-Compl-Packet.pdf

Most likely the serial numbers were recorded and will be passed to the Property Crimes Division of the SAPD. If by chance they are recovered, they will contact you.

I did receive the form but I never recorded the serial numbers. I do have the boxes from the most recent tools but not all.i don't even think I should bother sending that paper in as just like you said there's slim chances of getting my things back. I'll just waste someone's time for nothing.
The good this is that they grabbed the tools and left pretty quick without looking into the central console where I had 3 envelopes with cash for the other workers weekly pay. My boss would have killed me ... So I have to be thankful that at least I have the money. For the tools ,I'll buy them back in time.

Sorry MF's ...
No one deserves capital punishment more than someone who will steal the tools with which a man makes his living.
Should the need ever arise for a volunteer for that particular firing squad...

They're probably professionals... well "professionals" what I mean is you could set up a bait car in any home depot or lowe's parking lot unlocked with power tools in it and I can bet you we would catch the mfers inside of a week because they probably do it pretty regularly, but who has time for that? Maybe we should start doing it.. Because if you put enough stuff in there that equates to over 1k of property it's a felony and then we can citizen arrest their asses right then and there... In my opinion thieves are POSes and usually cowards.

On that same note, the fact that I've never had a hand tool stolen out of my work truck, only power tools, speaks volumes. SOB's definitely not interested in working ...

Now im calm , but I wish I caught them in the act.....

I bet they want to use the women's restrooms.

Damn dude - that sucks. I think your characterization of thieves is just about right.

I bet they want to use the women's restrooms.

Sneaky, are you baiting Satx?

 

[majormadmax]

Work trucks are regularly targeted because they are lucrative for tools, and as was the case here many times the serial numbers are not documented.

BigPapiGreg had his broken into at the IHOP during a SAXET show, while my open Jeep parked right next to it went untouched...

 

[ZX9RCAM]

A friends big Ford was broken into recently as well, at one of the two places, can't remember which one (HD, or Lowe's).

 

[easy rider]

Any big store outlet or mall where many vehicles are parked can be targeted. Tools are a good item to thieves, easily pawned.

Hire a PI to recover your property and sue the city for the bill. Would be a fun project at least...
