In today's episode, we tackle the growing crisis of tool theft after the government confirmed it will not extend the Equipment Theft (Prevention) Act to cover construction tools, machinery, vans, or power tools.

Heating Engineer Mark Taylor (MTP Gas Ltd) shares frontline insight into the impact of theft on tradespeople, while friend of the show Liam McGinley recounts a recent near-miss. We’re also joined by Liberal Democrat MP Luke Taylor to discuss why ministers are limiting new anti-theft measures, such as forensic marking, immobilisers, and improved record-keeping, to agricultural vehicles only.

Has it bottled it on tool theft? Tune in for expert opinion, industry reaction, and what needs to happen next.
