I was out for a few hours today and they came and took my welder and on the way out they snaked my mechanic hand tool box from under my car trailer.
The welder was a nice Lincoln wire feed and my tool box was full of mostly Craftsman wrenches. About 50#'s worth. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) They got me for about $1300 worth of my stuff. I'm upset by this, but not raging. I'll be honest, I have a feeling like someone kicked me in the nutz. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/icon8.gif) I wonder if they were lured by my 914 on the trailer? They could have hooked up and drove away except I had a wheel off to size up a spare. Now I have to live with all the locks and worries that I have been free from for the past 15 years. Sheriff is here lifting prints and taking a report. The losers tried to get in the house, too. The day is coming when ALL thieves will be killed by God himself. KT |

That sucks man. When we first put up our garage we would come home to see people walking around in it (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) so we had to put locks on everything. Its rediculous (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ar15.gif)

There's really not anything that can be done.
It can't be fixed by any human authority. ( want to continue this subject, PM me ) I was going to have an enjoyable 914 afternoon to myself. Replacing a throttle cable and getting ready for a three day driving weekend. They got my tools. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) If I was home they prolly woulda shot me. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) Tomorrow I get to build a locking gate to deter the scum of the earth. I have a hitch lock for the car trailer, too. It's crazy that I now have to expect to be ripped off when I come home each day. Whoopee! Read the last sentence in my opening post again. KT |

Theres a grey area here. Obviously the "defend your property" thing makes perfect sense, but with any luck you don't have to kill some dude because he's trying to steal your welder.... just my .02.....people who steal are soul sucking b@st@#ds any way you slice the cheese. nite everybody.... |

The sheriff was here and looked around, tried to get prints and filed a report.
He knows... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) Hope the insurance pays for it. If they got in the house, they might have taken my computer. Then I'd have to go to friend's house to log on to the clubsite tonight (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) KT |

Trekk,
Its kind of coincedental, actually. I was sorting my tool box a few weeks ago and relized that no man needs three of the exact same socket. Maybe we could pool our extras and send them to you? I know I got a few (mostly SAE, though (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) ). Just an Idea. |

First off, bad news. Home owners ins. should pay for the theft and you took the right steps by calling the cops. But you're still out a $&*#load of grief and peace of mind...it sucks.

Thanks for the good thoughts.
My tool set was killer. I had EVERYTHING. I have been collecting these tools for 20 years. ( I'm getting mad now ) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) I had my original 10mm wrench, painted green for easy finding. Andy, thanks. Doc,
I was one of those guys. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif) Every screwdriver, nutdriver, allens, ratchets, extensions, uni-joints, CV tool, pliers, channel locks, vise grips, metric, SAE, chisels, taps, dies, open ends, box end, *I HAD IT ALL*. You name it, I had it. I feel like a real jackalope though. I usually keep the tools in my locking job box that is welded on the tongue of my car trailer. I was working on the car and just wanted to slide the box under the trailer to keep it out of the rain for the day. KT |

I don't know what makes me madder, getting ripped off today or Alfred...I mean...alpha posting his garbage on my grief thread.
Be polite and delete your trash off my thread. thanks KT |
