Promax TV Explorer Meter Stolen in Cork

Rippy

Nicked from my van in Cork yesterday.:mad:
Promax Explorer Prodig 5 meter, 5 years old, in perfect working order.
These meters are €2500 new!
It may have been taken by someone who know what they were after , and had a buyer in mind , or maybe just an opportunist who got lucky! Either way I would like to hang him by his testicles over an incoming tide.

it's tough enough to make a living in this business without this.
It was scruffy and dirty with a few scratches on the screen, filthy yellow case 'stiched' in a couple of places with cable ties. On the sat settings I ha a custom list of transponders named 28E QUIK. Also under DTT, XHAVEN, SPUR_HILL, COLLINS.
I have just had to spend a few grand I could not afford on a replacement to get back to work as quick as possible. Keep your eyes open at car boot sales, eBay etc.
Installers lock your van at all times!

I'll keep an eye out too Rippy, that was one nice bit of kit Would be no harm to alert Cash Convertors, keep an eye on ebay, and adverts/donedeal/buyandsell/gumtree.

Sorry to hear about it Rippy.

Most thieves are unfortunately idoits and will smash a window to get something that is worthless to them.

ISAA

Some junkie is probably wondering why they cant pick up any TV channels without the data on it! And the screen is too small, maaaan.

kbell

Disaster, sorry to hear it.
Had 2 phones taken out of my van 3 years ago, scumbags missed sat nav, cash, and other goodies too,now i'll never leave my van unlocked anywhere, even outside my own house.
I'm even reluctant to park it out of sight on any job I'm on.
I'll always ask customer to move car and allow me to park in drive way if possible.
I'll keep an eye on various forums, you never know where it might turn up .

And where to put the sim card too....:pac:

Owen

You should contact every installer and satellite shop too in Cork offering a reward. The scumbag who took this will be looking to offload it quickly.

Tony

Don't think a reward should be neccessary, I'm sure the guys in Cork will do the right thing if they come across it.

Would it be worthwhile having it mentioned on local radio?
