  2. An #electrician from #Farnborough SE #England and his #apprentice had their #tools nicked from the van when working in #London

    Amongst the items nicked are specialist test equipment - which is not only pricey but only of use to other electricians - you have to know how to use it!

    I think there's a bleaker aspect to this - its likely *other* tradesmen buying the "cheap" stolen tools at car boot sales and maybe even commercial rivals targeting vans of those working "out of area"

    This was the 1000th Boeing 747 off the production line, only the 3rd civilian airliner ever to reach that milestone, only the B727 and B737 managing it before it.
