That really sucks man, I'm sorry to hear that.

I don't think I'll be much help here in NJ since you're all the way across the Atlantic, but I'll keep an eye out on forums and such.

I hope you find out who did it, and hopefully can get some/all of the stuff back.
first off your and idiot

Man I love the internet, haha.

I'll keep an eye out for this stuff.  I'll get the evening standard tonight to see if anythings in it, will also get the Sunday Times for the classifieds section.  I'll also try to pay more attention to those flyers and pamphlets being handed out around picadilly circus.

On an unrelated note, your english is really good, but when you say "there" you mean "they".  I wouldn't have mentioned it, except that there is a REALLY big difference between the meaning of the two words and they are both VERY common words -- common enough that you made the mistake four or five times in your post.

Good luck on catching the ---daisies---, though.  I hope you are insured.

That's really bad dude feel sorry for you!
And they vandalised your cabs thats just   SACRALIGE

Just a question what do you do? Do you import electrical stuff? And why wasn't the Black Ford Transit Van registered?

Just curious!
 hope you get your stuff back!

I just spotted something on eBay, a NIB XBox 360 for $150 (~85 pounds) Buy it Now.  Location is Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom. Item # is 8260834435. Just looked suspicious to me, with the extreme low price and all. He also has an NIB PSP for sale Buy It Now for $78, which is also much too low.

He's got to have insurance to cover the stolen materials.

No need to hate on the guy, he said he would send it....

It's just, given the situation, it would be nice if he posted and answered questions.

If you get caught wandering about his warehouse, just turn your back, it's illegal to shoot criminals in the back there.
