One of the pitfalls of having work done on your house is dealing with theft.I don't think it's a coincidence that I was having my garage painted and other work done on it and then had tons of stuff stolen just a week later.  Items were targeted, behind other stuff.  Whoever did it knew what to get and where it was.  I can deal with the power tools, the ladder and all the other misc stuff.... but stealing my Son's first real bike (and it's only one year old) really upsets me.  Sentimental value and he's crushed.  I wouldn't shoot a thief for stealing a TV, but my son's bike?  Make my day. 4951

Worst of all, they knew when they took it that they would get away with it!!! Don't suppose you could get in touch with any of the workers you had and at least try to get the bike back..... 4951

Man that sucks!  People have no f- ing integrity.  Can you pm me the company that did your painting.  I am having some painting done in a couple weeks and want to make sure it's not the same folks.   4951

I've already contacted the owner of the company.  Waiting back to hear from him.  I'm sure that will go nowhere.  His workers aren't going to admit what they did and I can't prove it.I thought about offering some cash just to get the bike back, but it's probably long gone by now and again, none of those workers are going to risk themselves by taking the "reward".  No doubt it looks very bad for the owner.  I'm going to have some discussions with him and see what he wants to do with this.  Even though I can't prove his people did it, they were the only ones with access to my garage when this happened.   and the heavy ladder, had to be someone with a truck and a reason to be in my driveway. 4951

I'll let people know what company it is if I don't get some kind of feedback from the owner that indicates he's going to look into it.  4951

@odin Be careful mentioning specific businesses. There was a lady on here a couple years ago that gave a bad review (they didn't complete a job & stole some items from her) for a local company. They sued her. They didn't win, of course, but they made her life a livin Hell, bad mouthed her, and cost her tons of $$$ in court & lawyer fees. It made me scared to honestly warn people about crappy businesses.  4951

@OhHappyPets: I haven't mentioned the name because I have no proof (and likely won't get it).  As for being  concerned about blowback....  Not so much.  They'd be or should be far more worried about me.   Don't mess with a porcupine.

From what I understand, the business owner is a sue happy, nut job. I was just shocked that it was a business that's successfully operated in KW for 20-30 years.  4951

It's not an old business here.   The worst part of it is that they were doing a great job and I have a bid for a lot more work (inside).   And even though this is circumstantial I'm nervous about it all.   I'm sure the owner is not involved but at the end of the day stuff got stolen when his people were here.   I can't ignore that.  Just sucks all round.   4951

That sucks, I am sorry.  I had my phone stolen out of my diaper bag a few weeks ago while downtown with my baby.  Again, so ****** for someone to take advantage of someone, low life to the tee.  I didn't care about the phone itself, it was the pictures of my little boy that were on it that really upset me!  That and the fact that people feel as though they can take something that doesn't belong to them.  That really blows my mind.  What type of life do you lead and how were you raised that you feel that something like that is okay?  And to steal a kids bike?  Man, that really is low!  I just want to find people like that and say "dude, really?"  If you were to ask, I would give you some stuff that I am sure you could actually use (curtains, kitchen tools, some small furniture) that I would be glad to get out of my house!  Ugh, I am annoyed for you! 4951

Some of these businesses use day labor for some of their work. There is no accountability, background checks, or probably even records of who was working for them.  I am really sorry this happened to you. It isn't even about the value of what they stole. It is the feeling of insecurity that it gives that people are so bold to just help themselves and load up your stuff.  4951

You don't know it was anybody working there. Could just as easily have been some knuckleheads from down the street. 4951

It sucks, but I can almost guarantee you won't get anyone to admit to it. You're probably best just installing a camera above the front door and above the garage. Sorry this happened to you, people really suck sometimes. 4951
