Hahahaha - love it, if I had the chance to go back and rerun the whole experience "Saw" style, that's what I'd have done! Hmmm...
It is indeed a miracle - couldn't believe it. I spotted the tools on gumtree but had seen, and recovered, one of the pushbikes that had been taken the same way, with the police helping. With the bike, they went to view it and retrieve it on behalf of me, as the guy selling was known to them. With the cars, I only saw the tools up for sale, but knew they had gone from the same garage as my cars and so was hopeful (different garage to the bike however - yep - two garages broken into within a few days of each other, one a home garage, one a storage garage a few miles away!). Went to view them with the police, and when the garage opened, surprise surprise, not only were my tools there, but all the car kit too. Had been tinkered with a bit and obviously driven around (badly given the state of the bumper and wishbones) but was almost all there, just strewn out across the garage. May have lost a few allen drivers, soldering iron and some spares but otherwise sweet relief.
I have now set up the most elaborate portcullis trap surrounding all my valuable property, and have changed my career to one of sitting, waiting and watching it all, with lipo, charger and scalpels all prepped and ready!
Thanks for all the well wishing and kind words of support and advice folks, horrible experience but guess I've used up a little bit of my luck quota.
Take care and enjoy racing - will look forward to hitting the track again soon
