What the petition asks
Tradesmen are becoming more and more affected by thieves breaking into vans, lock ups and sheds stealing people's means of earning a living and putting food on their family's table. It's like walking into a restaurant and taking their cooker!! It will stop them earning!
I am part of a few Facebook pages and forums for trades people and the story of people's tools getting stolen are becoming more and more too common. I feel something needs to be done to help protect people's means of earning money for their family's!
Why it was rejected
