Default Los Angeles/ So Cal HELP ME!

so from long nights and research, its that time again...
tackle the upper & lower control arm bushings.
poly daizen kit sure 5-6 hours by myself slowly putting these back together.

go to do the job & THIS HAPPENS.

last night my garage was broken into and someone stole my brand new
3 Ton Aluminum Racing Floor Jacks.

even my breaker bar! (was next to my jacks all ready to do job)
its only like 10-15 bucks but really? but i look further and realize... thats gone
ALONG with a set of snap-on & matco tools inside a RED snap-on toolbox (at that exact moment... meme insert here)


so if you see anyone selling these items please let me know thank you!

and since ive called every shop i know in the Los Angeles,California area they want 1k to do this job because "they don't take outside parts/insurance blah blah"
and want me to pay for new control arms i don't need..

so if anyone in the area who's free to do this job for me or with me LET ME KNOW!
(front upper & lower control arm bushings)

of course i will pay for your time/labor.

lets catch these crooks.

What other snap on/matco tools did you have in the box? I shop for tools online all the time, so I'll keep a look out for the box.

I know you probably don't want to change the bushings at a mechanic place, but I happened to have mine installed for fairly cheap at Scotty's Brakes in Arcadia. It's on the cross street of Baldwin Ave. and Lower Azusa. They did it for like 250 for just the rear bushings. Just a place to check out if you really need to find a place to change them!

Thanks for the heads up! I'll give them a call and see what they can do for me! Anyone else know a place like this that has reasonable prices? Any help would be appericated might just end up rebuying all the tools all over again slowly but first buying what I need to tackle this job if nothing happens to surface.
