    dunno. I am pretty sure I know who got the mirrors. They are too young to steal my machinery without some adult help but for right now I cannot prove anything.
    Whatsoever evil is done in secret will be shouted from the rooftops..............eventually.

    I know those tools are very important to you @Bobby Cole and I'm really praying for a miracle to have them all returned to you very soon.

    I take it that you have some input?

    Let’s see.....about twenty minutes later. hummmmmm...guess not but I am still hopeful that you can illuminate one and all concerning you obvious snark @Bill Boggs. Don’t know what cat crawled into your shorts but if you do have some problem with me you might spell it out.

    Seriously Babs, my main concern isn’t the tools so much as the people who are roaming around doing the burglaries. I’m not the only one who has been hit and I simply wish to uh....”lay hands” on the critters who believe they have some right to invade other people’s lives.
    Having the machinery back would indeed be icing on the cake. Thank you for the prayers......

    I understand that @Bobby Cole, I really do. I also understand that you have spent many years gathering those tools that helped you provide for your family and "they" were part of your life and family too in a way. No one should have the right to just come in and take that from you or from anyone else either. I agree with others who have said it is no stranger that has done this and I hope they get caught in their own snare real soon.

    Okay @Bill Boggs. My wife explained that you were referring to your own dealings with life. Sorry if I took it as a slam Bill..........

    A friend lived in a large remote bungalow. Apart from the usual locks etc, the giveaway signs were a top of the range BMW and Mercedes. Inside two large Alsatian dogs roaming around. His property was cased by thieves and one evening later they decided to break in. The took two latge pices of steak and the dogs became floppy friends. Burglary complete !

    We were burgled years afo when we only left a small ventilator ajar. Found out later, there was a local gang using small schoolboys to climb through and let the hood in through the front door. Which they left wide open !!!

    Well, thanks to some huge help from a friend who just happens to be on this very forum, I have started to recoup some of the machines I need in order to start / complete a few projects.
    I waited for a while for some of the sales to come out and was able to upgrade on the miter saw from 10" to 12" but stayed with the same router table and router I had before.
    Yvonne's daughter (Robin) brought over a definite upgrade to the table saw I had which also gives me a little wiggle room to purchase the better precision woodworking tools.
    There is still more to go, and I am still watching the sales and Craigslist to get the best buys but everything looks a lot more positive than it did just a couple of weeks ago. :)
