My hobby out the window :(

Post by plod »

I race remote control cars for a hobby, and have recently moved from 1/8th nitro to 1/10th electric.

Fortunately, I sold a £200's worth of stuff last weekend, and I have nearly £300's worth of stuff sitting at home as I have it on ebay at the mo.

I store my stuff at the local shop, and last night some low life scum broke in and virtually cleaned them out.
For some reason they left most of my stuff behind, but stole my controller which is around £400, the bag it was stored in, and a lipo battery stored in the case, and a Dremel Versaflame I guess well over £500's worth.

Work is crap at the mo, and my earnings are low, hence me selling off some of my stuff to try and help out.
I can't afford to replace the stuff at the mo, and I guess the insurance will do everything they can to weedle their way out of it.

More gutted for my mate who owns the shop, but just wanted to vent off about the low life pieces of crap who have destroyed his livlihood, with no thought to the consequences and probably sell off the stuff for next to nothing, and chuck away the stuff they can't.

Cheers guys

What I don't understand is why they left my hauler bag behind - it has over £300's worth of tools just in the top compartment alone, and they took my Li-ion Dremel out the hauler, opened it up and left it like that on the side - they are £70odd alone
Maybe the "plod" written on my bag and painted onto my car made them think twice :roll: :lol: :lol:

Guess i'm back to kite flying - doesn't cost any money, just need some wind...not hard in this country :lol:

Perhaps they had no idea what they were looking at and grabbed what they though might be worth something. Hope they OD on the proceeds.

Glad to see you're being philosophical about it anyway.

Here's hoping they do OD :lol: :lol: :lol:

Well, what can you do, life goes on :D
On a good note, someone in the hobby, not even local to me, but I do know to speak to, has offered to lend me the bits I need to carry on until I can afford to replace :cheesy: :cheesy: :cheesy: :cheesy: :cheesy: 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)
