Help a local hero

Hi my name’s Tom. In the early hours of 27/01/2025, my vehicle was broken into and all my bike tools and equipment were stolen. They took a box of parts destined for schools in east & south London. They ever rummaged through the front and stole my daughter’s school bag. I do so much for the local community and I can’t believe someone has taken it upon themselves to do this. I have already reported it but thanks to tool theft being such a big thing, the police are no help and the insurance company wont cover me as they consider the tools as “unsecured cargo” even though the vehicle was locked and the back area was covered. Any help which I can be afforded, would go straight towards replacing the stolen equipment so I can go back to helping people. The base cost to replace a toolkit like mine is around £1300-£1500, the bike stand is around £250, the table is also around £250, the Wheel truing stand is £200, my power tools came to around £450 plus around £900 in parts. There was also a box with all my cassette and sprocket tools in which is valued at around £200.
