What the petition asks
Yet to find a tradesman who hasn't had their tools stolen at some point in their life. It seems like there is very little investigation into tool theft and cases are quickly closed.
Took theft is extremely expensive for the victim and damages our careers and livelihoods.

I want to see the police pay more attention to tool theft and harsher penalties for those caught handling stolen tools.
