Got to work this morning and our apprentice bricklayer turned up in floods of tears as some low life broke into her car and stole all of her tools out the boot,these tools are not much good to anyone unless your a bricky,some crack head will probably sell them for a fiver , this girl is a right good grafter aswell which makes it more annoying.....so if anyone hears anything about these tools let me know please.....here is a link to her website....please send her a message of support if you can,.rant over www.beththebricky.com
Sorry to hear this. Unfortunately an all too familiar story. There are some right scum around. From a quick look at her website, it seems like she is a really positive person trying her best to do good. Doesn't deserve what's happened, but unfortunately life doesn't seem to work like that. Hopefully she bounces back quickly from this.
Thanks for the nice words it all helps at this upsetting time,and your right she will bounce back as she is s real tryer
So sorry to hear this, tigers1970. Is this all based in Hull? Is it worth any of us trying to raise awareness via Twitter or anything? Happy to do anything that might help.
No worries. Just put it on the HCSS Twitter feed (yes, we're southern but most of our followers are Hull-based). You never know, it might help. Fingers crossed she manages to replace them. A very inspirational young woman looking at the website. Hate to see rubbish like this happen to such proactive, hard-working people.
Unfortunately not surprised. There's always ****s about doing this ****. Hope she gets the stuff back asap.
If anyone fancies doing something I'd donate some new tools but I'm not donating everything. Recently donated a set of three stabilia levels to a couple of lads who'd had their tools nicked off site. Wish I hadn't bothered, they came in for them, sneered, snatched them off me and left with hardly a thank you. Haven't seen them since. But I'm willing to kick start this if anyone else is interested ?
Hi everyone, I just wanted to say I appreciate your messages so much! Reading them was the pick me up I needed. I registered to this forum because I wanted you all to know I've read everything, your all amazing so thank-you ❤️
Good luck with replacing the tools, and good luck for the rest of your career. It sounds like you’re a positive person with a great work ethic. Those two things will put you in good stead for a great career and life in general IMHO
Likewise. Happy to help someone that's doing their best to get on in life. It can be hard enough without set backs like this.
There’s some total **** heads around. Nicking stuff to fuel a drug habit. Unfortunately, happens more frequently this time of the year when the nights draw in.
I haven't set up a donation page and even though I appreciate you all offering I don't want other hard-working people helping me out, honestly it's not in my nature to receive id rather the money go somewhere it's really needed I work with some amazing people who have had a whip-round for spare tools so ill be working again on Thursday after college tomorrow x
