Hi Daniel,You might want to think about filing a Police Report listing the stolen items as accurately as you can, and then going to visit the nearest 5 pawnshops (google maps) with the Police Report and see if anyone has pawned a bunch of tools (that are yours).Drug addicts do this for drug money, they never intend to actually work with the tools to make money themselves.You might be lucky and get them back.Good Luck!

Between having the water heater and furnace stolen, non paying tenants, and the city inspection repairs, I've spent thousands more than budgeted.
