I'm hoping it does! Still waiting for the police but cannot get through to the insurance yet anyway
Thieving scumbags are everywhere and it seems there is always someone around at the wrong time. For example, my brother in law had his bike nicked from the front lawn while he went inside to make a cup of tea and my sister got burgled the night she forgot to lock up for the night!!!
Some toe rags here nicked all the drain covers a while ago so there must be iffy scrappies who take the stuff? Also got pulled over coming back from a night shift down the lanes by cops looking for a load of copper armoured cable someone had just pinched from the railway. Thing is I am a sparks and had some small armoured cable in my van but it was not the 100m of 240mm 3 core they were looking for!

Look at the positives - you were insured and now you can buy lots of new shiny kit! 
Regarding the cameras, I've got a Foscam weatherproof camera that works at night. It's linked to a small QNAP TS209 Pro II server that records permanently (stores about a week's worth, I think). Cost about £80 off eBay

Hmm.. called the insurance and it sounds as if im getting back alot less than the value of the items taken.
Anythings better than nothing though eh!
Oh yes! lucky in a way because i have just swapped for a rucksack and sleeping bag and i had one day pack in my house. Most sharps were inside too but ive just ordered new nato water bottles and mug and some other bits and pieces.

Feeling totally gutted for you Ben. Not a lot else that I can add that hasn't already been said. Just hope you get something out of this. Ditto about what Roger-UK said above. Had no experience challenging a claim but I've heard a few stories of people arguing the toss withtheir insurence company. Remember the compaines want to take as much from you in payments and cough out as little as they can in recompense. So nail 'em to a wall!
Thanks everyone!
It is really disappointing but i hope the thief gets caught!
Just had a sort through and i have enough kit to get out with what i have ordered but i still need clothing. Track suit bottoms and a t shirt for now though!

Gutted for you matey, I have been cleared out of all my tools once - my livelihood which is just the lowest of the low. The Police could do little even though it was part of a crimewave around all of the local villages which a good few vans, diesel and gas bottles from a garage were all targeted.
Everyone knew who were to blame, it did not take a genius given what was taken and then the "campers" moved on and it stopped....... strange that!
So when we moved and got a garage I secured it and alarmed it, when I got a new van I got new locks to the cost of £500 and it makes me sick that I have to go to such lengths because such pieces of **** exsist and although if they want my stuff enough they will get it but I doubt they will get in before I can get to them.

Sorry to hear this Ben.
I've had stuff stolen over the years by opportunistic and planned theft. Gut wrenching.
Fingers crossed regarding the moral jugglers we call insurance companies.

Glad you're sorted mate. Keep your kit in the house in future.
