Tools robbed from my van last night

[Mrs Ten Names]

He would then look at the tools, see that they're the ones stolen from him and "politely" and "calmly" recover them.

What happens if the seller refuses?

Like anybody would. I certainly would, if i was selling something which had come into my ownership, as far as I was aware, perfectly legally.
I wouldn't 'politely' and calmly hand them over to someone who turns up to claim them.
Even if someone always goes prepared with receipts showing the serial numbers, proof of ownership, etc. I would still refuse to hand them over.
Let the police/court decide ownership. I'm guessing that the original owner would be required to return their newly replaced tools back to the insurance, if the tools now in my possession were to be returned to the original owner.

I'm guessing t

Correct you are.

What happens if the seller refuses?

Refuses to meet or hand the tools over?
If they refused to meet, you'll have to find another way to catch them.
If they refused to hand the tools over...well, by that point I would've made them an offer they couldn't possibly refuse..

None of the above will stop them being stolen. You need to beef up the security on your van.

As odd as it sounds.

I've always been nervous leaving tools where I'm working if the properties are empty, but on the 2 occasions my van was broken into (Greater London), there was literally hardly anything to nick as I was on full refurbs and most of my tools and sundries were left in the empty properties. A couple of bits and pieces went but nothing of value.
I was still finding out what was taken months later when I'd look for something on the van and not be able to find it.
18 years in Cornwall so far and nothing taken, more or less retired now unless I can get a hip replacement a bit sharpish.

I can get a hip replacement a bit sharpish.

You may be able to if you are prepared to travel out of your NHS area. Probably only if it needs to be done. Pills or even steroid injections might be tried first. Common anti inflammatory pills long term can lead to stomach problems. GP's can only do a certain number of steroid jabs each year.

Starmer's idea of specialist units just doing joint replacement will take a while to set up if they happen. Might be privately run as well. Reason. A business can look at how much they will get for each opp and conclude it makes business sense and they worry about the financing. They can be set up in all sorts of buildings so may even be rented.

Fit that in with rumours that Labour may make more use of the private health side of things. In some cases it makes good sense. They could also assume slightly longer hospital stays in some cases.

This is what appears to have happened with cataracts. There appears to be several centres in B'ham. Privately run. I'm not entirely happy. There may be some sort of kick back to opticians involved. Or they may even own the businesses.

My mum has had 3 total knee replacements. The last one being about 6 years ago (when she was about 72). Ealing hospital ballsed it up. She eventually needed steroid injections every 6 months. The guy that used to administer them via the NHS told her that she was no longer entitled to more on the NHS. From memory she had been given about 6 to that point (might have been less). She now has to pay him as a private patient.

I found out about the GP limit as had a strange localised sharp pain in one of my arms. May ass well tell all. Saw the GP no action. LOL My wife did her nut and booked an appointment and told him it was stopping me from doing my "things" This resulted in an offer of a bone scrape to free up a nerve. I asked if his patients had been happy with the results, Answer not always. Some really regretted it. This is probably why there was a no action initially. He offered a steroid jab as a favour and mentioned he does 250 per year. Favour was his words. It worked and problem gone for a number of years now. Good value compared with an operation.

My wife believes that people should lay it on with GP's in respect to symptoms. Me I'm not so sure.

My wife has had a number of these jabs in her feet but an orthopaedic hospital. No limit yet but they have been using alternate treatments instead. it isn't just arthritis. She also had a lot work done on the nerves in an arm. Locking up figures etc. They work but may not last but surgeon prepared to repeat if she wants.

If you live in Kernow, there's a good chance you could get NHS treatment outside your area.

I know 3 people who live there that have been offered treatment at hospitals in the Smoke.

And that's the trick. We all moan when the rozzers do little. The rozzers roll their eyes when they get a blank look when asking what protections you had in place.

The trouble is, when you are breathing out your arris, trying to get a job done in a terraced street, upstairs at the back the house, your mind is elsewhere. Easy prey.

I hear of more people having ops done at Derriford in Plymouth but I'll make it clear I'm prepared to travel anywhere. Makes sense.
