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 |

Sorry to hear this. Stuff can be replaced but the thought that people are watching you and your place and waiting for you to leave so they can steal stuff totally sucks.
A couple of years ago a neighbor had her purse stolen from her kitchen table. House was locked, they were sleeping, heard a crash, went downstairs to investigate. They saw broken glass and a brick. Thief saw her purse on the table through a window, broke the sliding door window, grabbed the purse and ran. Total time of break-in: about 8 seconds. Police found the purse minus cash a couple of towns away. Now when we go to bed, I make sure that none of our stuff (purses, cameras, laptops) are visible through windows. In a way, one can catorgorize people into 2 basic groups: the haves and the have-nots. We are basically in the haves group. We have jobs, houses, cars, money, responsibilities. Getting caught stealing almost anything will ruin our lives. The have-nots don't have jobs, houses, cars, money. They have nothing to lose if they get caught with your tools, caught stealing jeans from a department store, or like last week at the Target store my daughter works at, stealing $690 in music and game CDs. Hope things work out for you. If I was closer, I'd let you borrow any tools you need. Spoke |
