A MECHANIC has launched a fundraiser after he was crestfallen when all of his tools were stolen from his van.
Lee Harrison, 38, who runs LMH Auto Services, came home from working as a doorman in the early hours of Sunday to find his van doors open and all of his tools missing.
He is unsure of the exact value of the tools as he has been collecting them since he was 15, but believes that they could have amounted to almost £20,000 worth of equipment.
Lee, who lives in Higher Croft, Blackburn, is heartbroken that not only had he, as a self-employed mechanic, has lost all of his tools he has spent his life collecting, but that this has left him unable to work until he can buy enough of them back.
