My name's mark and I'm a 47yr old self employed carpenter, like many self employed tradesmen I have to purchase my own tools for the trade I have chosen.
The replacement of these tools usually costs thousands of pounds and in some cases insurance companies have six weeks to settle any claims.
That's a six week financial burden to a victim of this crime.
Several friends of mine were victims of tool theft from their vans, and I too have been a victim. Luckily my home insurance paid out for the tools I lost. Another carpenter in my village had everything taken from his vehicle for he second time that year.
Not everyone can empty their vans at night and not everyone has insurance cover.
This type of crime is classed as petty crime but to a tradesmen who has paid for his tools with blood sweat and tears doesn't feel this is a petty crime. Every morning I walk out my house wondering if today is the day that my van has been broken into.
I'm calling for this crime to have more severe punishments as it affects hundreds of hard-working tradesmen, every day I see more victims posting about their plight via Facebook and it's sickening to see.
A tradesman's tools are his livelihood. There are organised gangs traveling the length of the country helping themselves to thousands of pounds worth of tools by peeling open the doors of hard-working tradesmen's vans and helping themselves to their tools.
Some even purchase specialist keys to decode and open vans without causing damage to the vehicle, mainly fords. These gangs are so organised and know many ways to break into the vans with no sign of entery leaving us unable to claim on our insurance.
the punishment needs to meet the severity of the crime.
The police mostly just give out a crime number which in many occasions are of no use as tools need replacing instantly also our van insurance rises. Insurance companies base premiums on postcodes and crime figures so this crime affects us all. The people suffering are the hard working tradesman who build and maintain the infrastructure of this country.
A ban on insurance increases to victims of van crime should be put in place, and emergency low or interest free government loans should be put in place to help relieve the burden to the innocent victims of this type of crime.
Tradesmen help the economy tick over in the hard times and generate great income in the form of TAX in the good times.This type of crime is now at epidemic proportions and needs addressing by those who we have appointed to run this country on our behalf. It will not be long before there is a fatality, either a victim of the crime or a perpetrator. A man's tools are his and his family's livelihood and in the heat of the moment he will defend them as if his life depended on it.
Please help the situation before more innocent people fall victim of these low vile organised criminal gangs.
Please sign and share with all your friends and support all victims of this crime and call for stronger punishment for perpetrators.
Thank you on behalf of all UK tradesmen.Read more

Petition to The Department for Health and Social Care
Before Covid-19 hit and all the nursing homes were closed to visitors, nursing home patients, including my mother, Mary Smith, who is in Pineview Nursing Home in Clinton, MD, were comforted by regular visits from family members and were in great spirits. However, since the shutdown, the patients are now in bad health.
When patients don't understand why they are not seeing their loved ones like before, it causes them to feel abandoned, unloved, and scared. This causes them to fall into a deep depression. They are hurting, not participating in activities like before, and worse, not eating.
In honor of my mother, Mary Smith, I submit this petition. My mother’s health has declined tremendously. She has lost a tremendous amount of weight during the last four months. Why? Because I, her only daughter, am no longer allowed to visit her faithfully. I brought her gifts and food when I came to the nursing home. This was the highlight of her life at Pineview.
We all know that there are many patients in nursing homes who do not get visits from loved ones. God bless the ones who do! Please don't take these precious visits to nursing home patients for granted. The patients depend on and look forward to visits from their loved ones. They set their minds, bodies, hearts, and SPIRITS on seeing and spending much needed time with them. I say to ALL doctors, nurses and nursing home administrators: If you had been around patients who were happy-go-lucky before Covid-19 struck, and now, since the virus, their health is bad and they are close to death, THIS SHOULD BE A RED FLAG! Doctors and nurses should not be so quick to tell family members that there is nothing they can do. Basically, it feels as if we are being asked to pull the plug on our loved ones when they encourage hospice care when, AGAIN, the patient was HAPPY-GO-LUCKY BEFORE COVID AND NOW THEY ARE CLOSE TO DEATH after COVID restrictions!
There should be an isolated area in the nursing home where family members can visit with their loved ones. Understand that these are EXTREME URGENTLY circumstances. MY MOTHER’S LIFE IS DEPENDING ON THIS. My mother loves food and would call me five to six times a day to tell me to bring her certain meals from various establishments after viewing television commercials, so for her to not be eating is a big RED FLAG. By the grace of GOD, please be flexible and make adjustments to the no visitor policy immediately.

We respectively request FedEx to offer a special code that can be used by stateside Americans to significantly reduce the cost to send emergency relief packages to family, friends, and other people living in the United States Virgin Islands and The United States territory of Puerto Rico.
This code should significantly reduce the cost associated with sending these time sensitive and immediately needed supplies.
Currently the cost to send a 30-35lb package from zip code 54455 to 00802 is being quoted at roughly $700. The same package to Naples FL is being quoted at $40-$60. This is unacceptable given the nature of the need to get supplies to the USVI as fast as possible. Read more
