[Closed] Just had all my tools nicked !

Bad luck there Tony, You shouldn't be surprised though, site workers are thieving shites.

No theft in 9 month's except for a 2 x group of foreign labour ( as in from another country and did not speak a word of english ) who took it upon themselves to steal dewalt laser levels etc and were caught on cctv.

When the english guys on site try and get out the gates with stolen goods i will hold my hands up until them i am afraid the foreign labour ( as thats what they are ) i will blame.

So you are saying that as far as you're concerned "English" people don't steal. And until you have seen some evidence to suggest otherwise, you will continue to believe that "English" people don't steal. Look mate I'm not going to mince my words - you're a racist. And don't give me this ol' bollox [i]"I'm not a racist I'm a xenophobe or bigot"[/i] You're a racist, simple as.

There have been plenty of convictions of English people for theft. So don't expect to spurt racist bollox and go unchallenged.

One of the things which I have always found quite startling is how racism is neigh on non-existent on British building sites. Which owes a great deal no doubt to the fact that building sites would be a deeply unpleasant environment for a racist - how many "English" people work on your site ?

You must be very bitter and angry working alongside these "thieving foreigners", so why don't you bugger off and work somewhere else ? 💡 I certainly wouldn't want to work alongside a bigot like you, and no, I'm not "English". I don't know what trade you are but considering the general level of interaction needed between the trades for the smooth running of a building site, people like you are a poisonous pain in the arse.

People pick up the hostile attitudes of bigots and I wouldn't be entirely surprised if you haven't been targeted because of that, not that it would in anyway make it justified of course. Or are you going to tell me your that opinion foreigners are thieves has been successfully hidden from everyone and they all think you're a really great guy ?

Anyway, seriously, have a look at Cash Converters or any other local tool shop which sells second hand tools - it's well worth a punt. If they were nicked from your van off-site then it would suggest that it is a local person rather than someone on site. Nicking tools while someone is having their tea break is generally easier than nicking them from a van. Good luck 🙂

I never said english dont steal. I said none have from the site i am currently on. You may say i am poison etc but i have been running the site we are on as well as fitting its hit all dead lines and i get on well with all site managers etc including the foreign 1 ( shock ) but it was still the foreigners who stole on site hence my assumption.

If i am a xenophobe then so be it i would not class myself as a racist though that termonolgy is thrown about to loosely !

When this tony fella says english does he mean british?

For some bizarre reason you seeem to have issues with people who work in offices too.

I've worked on building sites and offices, only experience of theft from a site was from a britsh guy who used to wander on to the site and sell stolen goods, then steal stuff on the way out.

[i]If i am a xenophobe then so be it i would not class myself as a racist though that termonolgy is thrown about to loosely[/i]

I don't think many racists openly admit to being racist btw.

you cannot trust all brits. you need to watch out for those jocks, taffys and paddys. its only the english who are trustworthy.

I am a foreigner and have had things stolen from me by [b][i]you[/i][/b] foreigners.
Disgusting.
I am with xenophobia on this.

FFS get a grip some of you.

If you want to accuse some one of some thing your are completely within your rights. If you work on a building site made up of foreign and british workers, and statistically only foreign workers have stolen stuff then it is not unreasonable to think that it is likely that one of the foreign workers has stolen the tools.

Racists... get a grip !

and statistically only foreign workers have stolen stuff then it is not unreasonable to think that it is likely that one of the foreign workers has stolen the tools.

Ah what how'd I miss this one???

If I'd known it was going to be this good, I'duv bought an extra large doner. 😐

Has anyone blamed the Darkies yet? It's usually their fault, I find, whatever the problem is.

Crime, house prices, unemployment, Global Warming, nothing good on telly, why my Gentian won't grow.

I just blame the Darkies, it's much simpler that way.

Mid you, it has bin said that I've got a touch of the old 'tar brush' meself, so that could possibly explain why stuff around me goes wrong. Jeeze, I spose I've only got meself to blame really. 🙁

Oh whell.

(Ooh and an unintentional Wunundred too! FTW!)

The "statistic" appears to be a grand total of two incidents. Now I'm going to hope that the people caught robbing were actually sacked? Therefore it's entirely unreasonable to assume that the foreign workers still there might be responsible [b]just because they're foreign[/b].

It'd be totally reasonable to assume that those previously caught might have done his van over, and I reckon the OP might be alluding to that? But it's nothing to do with their nationality [b]it's because they're thieves[/b] FFS, it's not complicated.

Anyway, hope you can sort yourself out OP. It's a tough time of year for stuff like this to happen

Excellent. I'm going to extend my accusation of tony24 being a racist by accusing you also of being a racist.

After all it is completely within my rights to do so.

And it's just a hunch I've got.

I had to do some commissioning a couple of years ago in that London. There were lots of eastern europeans, some of who needed to borrow a few bits every now and again (transfromers, 110 leads etc).
Every time the kit came back promptly, they even coiled the cables up neatly. I also worked a site full of British (not specifying!) types and a remarkable amount of kit got nicked. Pallets of blocks, coils of cable, fridges (!).
Of course, I couldn't say that the brits site workers were theiving bastards; that would be racist.

Yup; keyboard warrior.

Xenaphobia? What's not to like. Though i can see why you might be afraid.

Unfortunately the above was kind of ruined by her appearance in Blood and Sand.
