On June 17th around 3:30 am, my truck was stolen out of my driveway in Highland Heights, KY.
A police report was made, and the security camera footage from us and our neighbors has been given to the police.
My truck was found in Price Hill, but everything in it was gone.
My bank cards were in there, and they drained both my business and personal accounts. We called the bank, and it shows they were used in the Price Hill/Cincinnati area.
Please be on the lookout for anyone selling tools at pawn shops or on Marketplace. Most have my name, John Manning, HM, or Handy Manning (my business name) etched on them, so hopefully, they will be easy to spot. If you find them, please reach out to the Highland Heights Police so we can recover them.
Tools are DEWALT, Bosch, and Milwaukee Tool brands.
I own a construction company and am the sole provider. My truck had every tool and lawn care equipment imaginable in it. I am talking $25k-$30k range. These items are my livelihood and how I provide for my family.
If you know of any pawn shops, consignment, or similar stores in the Cincinnati/NKY area where someone would be able to offload a ton of tools, please let me know in the comments so we can go there in person to look for them. Any leads on finding them so we can get them back is appreciated more than you know.
Last thing, don't forget to lock your cars, house, sheds, anything of value. You never think it will happen to you until it does. We live in a safe city in a nice neighborhood, and our vehicle was in our driveway, and it still happened to us. You just never know these days and never know what piece of shit might be coming through your neighborhood. Lock your doors no matter what. You always think it won't happen to you until it does.
I appreciate any donations. All money will go towards replacing the lost tools so I can continue to provide for my family.
Thank you and God bless.
