I wonder how many people steal their own tools.

I wonder how many times you can take advantage of that warranty.

I wonder how much you can get on the secondary market for the tools that you stole
from yourself multiple times. That sure would make them more affordable. ;-)

I know that was tongue in cheek, but inquiring minds...

The highlights are that you must immediately report the theft to the police/constabulary, then submit the paperwork to Festool withing 5 days.

You pay a fee/tax/deductible/penalty of 100 euros, and you get a new tool. The new tool does not have theft protection.

I am sure there is some kind of exculpatory language that allows Festool to get out of any agreements if they find an abuser. That being said, it is still an outstanding warranty item to offer.

AND Festool is probably more common place in Europe. It may not be the
best tool on a job site. Did I say that out loud? ;~)
In Europe Festool may be as common as DeWalt, Makita, or Milwaukee are
here on a job site and not as sought after.
