Thousands of pounds worth of tools, stolen in minutes: ITV News investigates how it’s impacting trades people’s mental health. This year alone, the police recovered half a million pounds of tools at just two bootsales- the tool theft crime wave is out of control. But trades people are fighting back! 

Your bike can be gone in under 60 seconds… and it happens every single day across the UK.

Motorcycle tracking is becoming essential in the fight against rising theft across the UK. With thousands of bikes stolen each year—often stripped for parts or shipped abroad within hours—traditional locks and alarms are no longer enough. A discreet GPS tracker offers real-time location updates, instant movement alerts, and a significantly higher chance of recovery, often within minutes. More importantly, it provides crucial data that can assist in arrests and prosecutions, helping to dismantle organised theft networks. For any rider who values their bike, tracking isn’t just protection—it’s peace of mind and a powerful deterrent.

Every eight minutes a car is stolen in Britain. Dispatches goes undercover on the tail of the thieves driving this car-crime epidemic.

Car theft in the UK is now more sophisticated than ever, with criminals using keyless entry hacks and relay attacks to steal vehicles in seconds—often without leaving a trace. This growing threat means traditional security measures are no longer enough. Asset monitoring devices offers a vital layer of defence, providing live location data, tamper alerts, and recovery support in real-time. With police resources stretched, a tracker dramatically increases the chances of recovering your vehicle quickly and gathering evidence for prosecution. For any car owner, especially those with high-value or work-critical vehicles, tracking isn’t just smart—it’s essential.

Meet “Nick” Stooley

— Public Enemy Number One 

He’s slippery, sneaky, and seriously bad at hiding — it’s Nick Stooley, the UK’s most embarrassingly persistent tool thief. Known to Stoolen (and just about every tradesperson from Land’s End to John o’ groats),

Nick has a long history of pinching anything with an engine, a battery, or a business relying on it.

From stolen scooters to milk floats, mopeds, vans, diggers and even the odd tractor — Nick Stooley will try his luck with anything he can drag, drive, or wheel away.

But there’s hope. Stoolen is closing in on him – one bait tool at a time.

With every hidden tracker we deploy, we’re one step closer to catching Nick red-handed. And that’s where you come in…

🎯 Keep your eyes peeled. Set the bait. Report any Stooley sightings.

He’s not dangerous — just dangerously daft. Often spotted at trade shows, school fetes, festivals and community events (kids usually spot him first),

Nick Stooley is out there. Watching. Waiting. Failing.

Let’s catch him together.

Back the Bill to End Tool Theft

Amanda Martin, MP for Portsmouth North, is calling for tougher sentences for criminals who steal tools from the vans of working people.

Amanda is proposing a bill to get tough on criminals by increasing the usual ‘harm category’ when sentencing equipment and tools of trade theft from Category 3 to Category 2 to account for the loss of earning.

Add your voice to back Amanda’s bill to end tool theft.
