Tools Top Thieves Christmas Wish List


Van drivers who receive brand new tools this Christmas are being warned to remove them out of their vans at night to avoid them being stolen by thieves.


Now in its 23rd year, the Cost vs. Value Report is conducted in partnership with the National Association of Realtors. The study asks NAR members nationwide to evaluate a variety of home remodeling jobs and then project the ROI homeowners could expect to receive when they sell their homes.While the aforementioned numbers are for the national average, the survey also found that in some markets -- Charleston, W. Va.; Honolulu, Hawaii; Providence, R.I.; and San Francisco, Calif.; -- the value of a replacement at sale is projected to be more than 100 percent."Return on investment is always important to homeowners, but especially so when facing a challenging real estate market," Bowen said. "Choosing to replace a basic or outdated garage door is now one of the best investments a homeowner can make."

Phil Moss, Commercial Vehicle Manager at Swinton said, "Thieves are likely to target vans after Christmas in the hope of bagging some brand new tools that they can sell on. Van drivers need to be extra vigilant at this time of year and always remember to remove tools from the back of their vans at night."
