The scroates of this country really gets up my nostrils. You have a job that gets goods to people who rely upon you. I really feel for you. I had my caravan stolen a couple of years ago, it was only 4 years old. It was caught on cctv being towed by a white van with a black BMW registration plates. Where are the NPR cameras when you need them. The police weren't a bit interested. It was the last straw that broke the camel's back for me and my hubby, and our hearts went out of caravanning after that.
Sorry to hear about your caravan, my mum had hers stolen off of the drive when no one was in, they threatened the 90 year old neighbour with a crowbar when he came out to see what was happening. I hope whoever did it and their family has a miserable life plagued with illness quite frankly, they deserve nothing better, actual parasites.
@@andrewproctor6031 Thanks Andrew, much appreciated. Mine was in a secure pound at the time.
UK police cant even solve murders anymore let alone catch thiefs
Police ain’t interested unless someone is attacked, just give you a crime number
@@davefish8107 When my caravan was stolen, the police didn't come round to view. As you say Dave, just got crime number. I was contacted by the police exactly a month later, to say the file was now closed
Join the club ! It happens to everyone at some time. Glad you got it sorted before you ran out. Just be thankful they didn't drill the tank.
@@sparklesparklesparkle6318 ...what you do with the stolen diesel is drink it!...good to the last drop....you'll never worry any longer after that, and for use hardworking common mortals, good riddance.😂
Worst feeling in the world. A few years ago I was working on a building site in Essex. There was no onsite parking all the trades had to park on a side street. I came out to my van to find several grands worth of power tools, the full tank of diesel, my wallet and £400 in cash which was hidden (not well enough it turns out) behind my seat all gone. I had no money to get fuel or back over the Dartford crossing. Not a great day. I never went back to that site.
You would think by now there would be better security mechanisms on fuel caps on large vehicles. Such as a loud alarm which triggers if the wrong key or a screwdriver is inserted. Never the less these things happen to the best of us. The cockroaches that stole your fuel are probably living downtrodden lives, lets feel sorry for them. Your spirit and personality and how you make others feel is way more important. Never break and just carry on. You're awesome!
It’s times like these where the truck needs a motion sensing shotgun for nights out to prevent stuff like this happening.
I had exactly the same a few weeks ago on the A17 mate took all the fuel couldn’t even make it to the fuel station so much scum around when we’re working hard for a living keeping the country running. Take it steady mate and have a good Christmas
Absolutely gutted for you Scott, this is not the expected vlog one would expect to be watching. Bunch of low life's stealing the food from a fellow man, I can only hope that they get caught and severely dealt with. Stay well Butt. Peace.
They won't get caught because police aren't remotely interested in truck theft crimes.
@@flipper2392 Sadly, you could be right in your assumption. If I were in Scott's shoes I would consider fitting a small cctv camera for that added security. Or maybe a fuel theft alarm tank cap. The cap can trigger the truck’s alarm system and its high-pitched audio alert when it detects tampering or a significant drop in fuel level.
@@castingshadows282 I'm out of the game 10 years now, a mate has one of those fuel caps, an added bonus is his curtains have never been cut since he got it. I've had attempted hi jacking and fuel stolen, in both cases, "no action taken" When I disturbed thieves cutting curtains, called police and gave reg of offenders vehicle, they had no record of my 999 call, despite a plod attending.
A PIR operated 12v led light mounted directly above the fuel intake plus a piezo sounder in the cab to alert you wouldn't be a bad idea. Thieves don't like to be lit up when trying to break into something.
At least you didn't arrive there only to find that it's been turned into a car wash.
Nothing worse than stealing from good working people! Glad you got it sorted, hope your soon feeling better Scott, have a good Christmas🎄 keep up the good work and keep safe 😀🚛
It's like stealing a man's tool that he uses for his living.
Blame the government
Fit a motion sensor with remote doorbell, the sensor under the trailer and the doorbell in your cabin...
Sorry to hear about your troubles. Hope things get better soon. Nice job on limping it to the fuel station.
well done
so sorry yuu lost your fuel .My mate who lived out in the wilds kept having his fuel taken out of his tipper so he had some metal made up so when his tipper part was down they could not get into his tank next time they had just made holes in the bottom of his tank ,he was coming up for retirement so he retired and said enough is enough get better soon
thanks for the video
Unfortunately anywhere in South Yorkshire is pretty much a no park zone, our yard is round the corner from here and there's always trucks done over outside, even had it once in the actual yard!
Damn that was a tense ride to the fuel station (used to fill up there sometimes with one of the old cards) Absolute BASTARDS them fuel thieves, even if you have anti syphon fitted you can still have your tank busted. Glad you got sorted and got the hell out of South Yorkshire. If I don't catch you before the holiday then have a good Christmas Scott all the best to you and yours.
Just the thing you don’t want on a freezing morning and then all the hassle it causes. Hope you are feeling better and have a great Christmas.
I am so gutted for you Scott about the diesel ⛽ and I hope you are feeling better soon and have a good Christmas ⛄🎄
What a nasty way to find out you have been robbed, but what a good job you were close to a fuel pump and they had not clean you out completely. You can take precautions but the beggars always find a way round it. Keep safe and I hope you get well again soon. Best wishes for the season and 2023, certainly need a better start to this years finish.
I can remember being out with my father when in his truck this is going back about ten years ago, and he'd gone through a spell of the bastards pumping his fuel out Scott and he started to use a rachet strap around his tanks and over his locking cap just something to make a noise to alert him in the cab and make it more work for the scum bags. Not sure if you can do something like this today what with VOSA they would probably look at something around the tank as an infringement, best of luck for the future and really hope this doesn't happen again in the future.
Oh Scott what a nightmare, just not got the words for things like this. Hope you soon warmed up and feeling better. You take care.
As soon as I saw you were out of diesel, I thought, that’s got to be Barnsley/Doncaster…. Absolute bandit country around their, you’ve been very lucky previously.
The jobs hard enough without having this happen and luckily you were near enough to a fuel station,hope you felt better soon and happy Christmas Scott and look forward to 2023🙂👍
I have had my petrol stolen from my rangerover classic many many times, so I rerouted my fuel lines and filled my old fuel lines with addblue and various bad liquids, as now they can't take my fuel, hope you get better soon Scott and find who done that, merry Christmas buddy and happy New year 🧑🎄
Hope you have a better week ahead Scott
I sorry scott.that happened to me when I woke up in Gloustershire.its a regular acurance these days like you I managed to limp to petrol station.i left my back doors open and they still cut my curtain.Horrible people😔
We have been told not to park anywhere near Barnsley or Sheffield if we can help it had a few wagons done last wee, hope your all good
Must be fuel season. I had mine done last week. Actually was limping to a fuel station when I passed you near Doncaster services coming back with tractors on... (Also If you ever see a glass wagon flash you. It's only me haha )
So sorry about what's happened to you scot. I have a feeling you might have been followed when you filled up, these scum bags tend to do that.
Hope you start felling a lot better and please keep up with the video's as I look forward to watching you every week.
As they say, See you on the next one.
Best wishes Scott, thank you for vloging despite being robbed!! Thankfully nothing else happened?!! Have a good Christmas 🎄 keep smiling mate 👍🏴
I'm feeling your pain Scott I had some scrotums trying to nick my diesel at Barnsley outside glass recycling UK Luckily I heard them breaking the cap off so they didn't get any as I started the engine and blew my airhorns and they scarpered still had the hassle of waiting for DAF to open so I could get a new.cap it's getting worse and isn't going to get any better till the cost of living crisis eases keep ya chin up buddy and I saw you on the M1 southbound on Friday loaded with tractors 🚜
Hope the cold has got better, our lorries are in a locked compound every night as its all day work at Perry's recycling, cameras everywhere too, fingers crossed it doesn't happen again before Christmas
@Cheers Drive not sure to be honest, if you have a CV drop a copy in and have a word with them
Hope you made it to the service for your fuel ⛽️ mate . Hope you feeling better soon
Hi Scott hope you feel better soon and stay safe mate
Don't park anywhere in barnsley, doncaster or Rotherham. It's rife for fuel theft around here
Some of the best times I've had at work have been truck driving, but also some of the most miserable times, it doesn't seem to matter where you park, there is a risk of your diesel or load being nicked.
At least they didn't do much damage, the time I'd had mine nicked they destroyed the fuel cap, they aren't cheap, I've known others where they've destroyed the tank or sender unit, got to the point where it seemed better to leave the cap unlocked.
What shots - really sorry to see this Scott. Hope you’re feeling better soon and get that well earns lie in too!
I used to have a Nissan Tiida, I ended up fitting a lockable petrol tank cap on account of the same thing happening. They'd got the code for the remote, but couldn't steel the car due to the steering lock having been replaced. It got written off, so I brought a Diesel Toyota Prado, you'd never guess what they drained the first night I had it home! 50L or mobiles finest! I don't think their petrol whatever ran to well that day!
Hope your feeling better Scott, what a thing to have happen, take care.
Hope you're better soon Scott hope the thieving little barstools get caught
They won't get caught police don't care feel for you Scott it's terrible I had half a load done in oxford
@@lurchysgaming I actually agree it's the working man that gets shat on and the scumbags get of and away with it all
@@darrenbeales8026 yea there terrible all they gave me was a crime number and heard nothing
@@lurchysgaming yeah and then got to get more fuel get wagon going to pay that back the scumbags prosper we pay for it
sorry so bad people out there try and have a good new wk keep safe bubby thank you from norwich
Get well soon Scott.
Hope the thieves get caught.
At least your day should have gotten better after a start like that.
👍👍👍👊👊
Interesting seeing trucking in other countries. Drove flatbed for years in the U.S. lots of fun. Thinking I might start trucking again I definitely enjoyed it. Never had my fuel stolen but been backed in to while sleeping in the cab and had to chase the person down but I got him.
We was told never to lock ower fuel caps as they will puncture your fuel tank to take it so it's cheaper to leave cap unlocked than having to replace fuel tank.
Not a video I want to watch when I’m about to do my first night out this week!
Get well soon mate!
I work in London a lot and my and the lad I work with have had both our bags with belongings inside e.g Laptop Clothes even my toothbrush was stolen so I had no Toothbrush for days. I know what it feels like to have something stolen.
Barnsley ,Rotherham ,Doncaster don’t park anywhere unless it’s a services around there
If your parking anywhere near Doncaster it’s horrendous. I keep passing you as you head out of hull with John Deeres on
Hope you feel better soon so sorry about that
Hope you reported it. I know they won't investigate but at least it goes down on their statistics they care so much about
You can buy alarm systems that fit on tank. Should bee fitted as standard on trucks.
The good news is fuel was taken and they didn't target you, so good you're safe.
This is the problem as a trucker being easy targets even if you're careful, makes you feel sick to the core if it happens to you, thankfully I work for a company that has Depots across the country or if we have to use a truckstop they have specific ones we're allowed to use, layby's and side roads are not allowed overnight.
But even at services I still wake up through the night thinking noises are on my truck which end up being a couple trucks away.
Excellent video, considering it was under poor conditions with you being very ill and getting your fuel stolen.
Hopefully this doesn't happen again to you, but as a viewer, a small part of me does wish for it again to see what content you make under that situation, but from a realistic perspective I hope everything continues to go well for you.
Well done and keep up the good content! :)
Sad shits that do that! I done security across the road at a car pound and with the cameras caught a van nicking diesel from the yard over the road. Shame no place was near you that had cameras and caught the thieves!
Hope you start and feel better scott. What a drama .
Never stop anywhere near Doncaster mate the jippos got a couple of our trucks over there
This just occurred to me, about when the heater stopped working would be about when they finished draining the tanks. I'm assuming the heater uses diesel too.
A very merry Christmas to you all from Wellington Somerset
At least that's your Christmas disaster done with have a great Christmas scott, john from Ireland
Hope your feeling better now, thefts from trucks is only going to get worse with the government we have
It was done in a labour voting area ffs
@@frenchonion8861 you dont get anything more from the government just because it might be a labour voting area, your comment makes no sense
I guess it is the price of fuel now in the UK Scott , have a good new year
Happened to me in Northampton, satnaved to nearest petrol station only to find it was a car showroom only !
Scott wish you a happy Christmas 🎄 regards Andy
That’s absolutely despicable that someone would steal fuel while you sleep. Fortunately they did not do lasting damage to yourself or the truck. As a discussion point is there any recourse on this kind of theft or is it just expected that the trucking industry will suck it up and write off the loss and damage?
The police are useless and will most likely do nothing even if presented with good video evidence.
Next time, anywhere within 30 miles of Doncaster, stay at the stock yard, You are in bandit country there I’m afraid
I was fully expecting the coppers to turn up at the end there and arrest you for attempted trailer theft.
However gutting at least you are Ok and the diesel was replaced ( appreciate the cost ) . Hope you are feeling better also.
Let’s clear one thing up right now the people who stole the diesel are not from this country I’ve witnessed foreign lorry drivers buying this diesel in services normally Albanians driving around in vans going from place to place in search of lorry’s in lay-bys
Get better soon bud
I know the area well mate, had a tune up (back in the day) at that very garage, between the diesel thieves and curtain faires, makes you wonder if its worth while using my LGV.
I’m sorry to see this cos your in my local area as well just outside if my home town I’m really sorry pal hope your ok and best of luck when our in the road stay safe pal!
So sorry that the lowlife in this country stole that fuel. All I hope for them is the most bad luck they could have. Really hope that you start to feel better very soon. Take care and stay safe.
You should buy a doorbell sensor hide it under your trailer above the fuel tank that way if any scroat goes near your cap your alarm sounder will go off then you can catch the shits.
Absolute bellends mate !! I bet there were a good few swear words before you've put the camera on 😅 good job on keeping your composure and getting the truck to that fuel station👏
as they say good things comes in 3's, lets hope the fuel destroys their vehicles.😀, hope you are better soon Scott, Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas and a happy new year from trucker Matthew duffin royal mail hope you feel better very soon trucker
It was the background music building up the tension for me🤧
It is disgusting that anyone can think that stealing from lorries is ok. Next they will be complaining that the cost of living is getting higher because transport companies are having to pay more to protect their workers and fuel.
4:18 - I hear that sound in my nightmares - Sorry this happened to you mate, how many litres were taken? Also, just from that start-up at the petrol station really shows that you were only running on what was left in the fuel lines, lucky you made it.
Trying to work when not even having the benefit of a good nights sleep at home is bad enough but the scum that stole your diesel take this to a super new low level . Hope the low life’s one day get to experience real hardship and May then know how this feels . Get home and have a good Christmas mate
I used to work for stagecoach buses and Scroats broke into our depot and siphoned the bus tanks.
I used to work for Stagecoach Manchester and a driver got sacked for letting his brother siphon his bus every day to run his taxi.
@@Nickbaldeagle02 naughty naughty .
they are little *********** but you wont to park there a gen great blog mate Gary from Crewe happy new year Scott 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Nice speaking to you today in pwll layby
Barstewards! I was gassed the other year...there ended my nights out.
Looks like you were in Barnsley. A lot of thefts like this all the time in Barnsley.
Get yourself a battery sensor light at halfords Rolson cob motion mount on cab above tank
So they can see what there doing easier with the light on 😂
@@nickaf5262 not had any fuel go missing since putting light on I think the light spooks them thenthey leg it
Stealing costs everyone, those including who do the stealing, ref purchase of any item's etc.
Sorry to hear this Scott, I've had two tool boxes stolen 15 years apart, never returned, half a life's work.
I buddy hope you are well.sorry to here about your fuel.i hope you get your night heater sorted soon it is a bit cold not to have one. I hope you have a sleeping bag with you.take care and get some warm drinks down ya phil.
Feel for you life is hard enough as it is without this at work
Mate of mine caught a thief in his trailer left the lad beaten in a hedge bottom 😂
Had 800 litres stolen.fuel gauge didn’t even register.still run for 20km to fuel up
Get well soon Scott, sorry you had to suffer the hassle of being targeted by thieves.
Hello scott.i live on the street were the petrol station is they are taking anything that hasent been fastened down around there at the min.there is a 24hr tesco filling station just down road
I felt for u then Scott get well soon mate
I agree with you buddy from Alan in Lowestoft
Lucky only fuel cap damaged,don't seem to be safe anywhare
Had that happend to me manny years ago. After that my boss and me change the 900 liter tank for a small 450 one that never had more than half a tank in it. We made a hidden aux tank that I fuel the truck from every morning. That way I still had close to the 900 we needed on the truck. But if they stole from us they would only get at most 200 liters.
Night heater won’t work either under 20% diesel They normally throw the cap away
Sorry to read you were targeted scott I’m just glad your ok
Just glad to see Xmas Cheer knows no bounds. I despise the scum culture that has explode in some parts.
Scott do get well soon and enjoy you Christmas. Really enjoy your vids. Great work you do👍
Unlucky mate. How many litres was taken roughly? I never fill right up for that reason.
See I know this is wrong in saying but if you had diesel stolen whilst you had a fridge unit, you could easily take some out of that to get you somewhere. However I guess most fridge units are red diesel which isn't allowed on the road.
