The CAT deal I work for has had 3 vans in the last 12 days stolen and mine was one of them and a total of 5 vans in the last year. It was parked in my driveway and no one heard the diesel motor start so the had to push it down the street. The insurence guy I talked to today about getting my tools back told me off the record that he is working on 6 different claims with the same situation from 6 different companies all with in 40 miles on my zip code. I thought it was an iside job but now think it is a group of guys who knows whats in these vans. If you dont have an outlet for forklift parts they are of no value to anyone so it has to be someone in the industry. We have been trying to tell the company to put alarms on the vans for years now and they are finally gonna do it after the huge expense in insurence premiums and higher rates.

Fact of the week
According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
