A message from Tom Hobbs
Tom the guy who is brilliant with car bodies and 75 sills popped me a message tonight to say thank you to everyone who has used him. Sadly, he tells me he will be out of action for a little while as his workshop was broken into and all his tools have been stolen. Sad days.

There are some very dishonest people in this world, hopefully he will soon be back in business.

Some of the slime that inhabit this country, and the world at large, do so because they are allowed to by the law not being applied for whatever reason you care to think about. I hope Tom is insured fully for what was filched from his workshop. I would imagine that the police have some idea as to who it is, because of the specialist type of tools I suspect have been took. Let’s hope.

If caught there will probably not be enough evidence so the case will be dropped or if convicted a few months suspended sentence and a few days community service.

Maybe we should post up a list of work heading his way when he is back up and running.
My silver connie needs doing, just waiting for a suitable couple of days to arrange. |

I am gutted to read about Tom's break in, I would it was local tea leafs that did and knew what kind of Work was going on, tools may have been stolen to order or sold on boot sales or internet sites. Tom may well be covered by insurance but new tools be here "feel" the same, and worst of all it's Tom's livelihood and he's such a nice person.
I wish him all the luck to get back into business again. Martyn |
