I hate Thieves

This is cool... I just got a call from the Sheriff dept. They have the guy and my stuff....

COOL!! Did they say anything about you getting to use sharp instruments ?

Might I suggest a grassy knoll from a distance of say 3-500 yards? Give the perp, er I mean, the poor misguided child who is just starting to turn his life around, a sporting chance!

Scrappers usually pick off stuff like burglars, unobserved.

What's the going rate for scrap burglars? Per burglar, or by the pound?

Usually they're taken in by the ton due to their low value.

Great news!!! Was the perp someone you knew or have knowledge of?

When my boy was about twelve he earned money doing odd jobs and bought himself a nice bike. The next day he left it in the front yard and at 2 am Sunday morning a scrapper walked in the yard picked it up and was about to throw it in his truck when the lady next door walked out (going to work) and confronted him. He said, they've got it out for the trash. She said, No they don't! That's a brand new bike. Put it back and get out of here.

He did.

My experience with scrappers is exactly as stated above. They won't bother asking and will continue to help themselves to whatever they feel until confronted. Then they just return when no one is around.

The heck?

I've never run into anything like this before. Do they just drive up and offer to take stuff, or what?

No offer!
they just take it!

Now if it's between the sidewalk and the curb (i.e. the park strip), the rule is it's fair game in my old neighborhood. It didn't matter what junk I put out - it'd be gone.

I had a refrigerator out front of the garage for a few weeks, then moved it down to the street and called a place to come get it. They didn't make it in time.

I don't know him but, he used to live in my area and then moved to Indy.... Sheriff says he is a heroin user...They found
my stuff in a pawn shop on west 16th.

I made one out of a cheap motion detector and used a bright spot light on one and a screw in plug on the other that has a bell from an old fire alarm bell.. some you can set a delay on and have it on a switch.. so you have how ever many seconds to get in and flip the breaker or switch off or the bell will loosen fillings... had maybe 15.00 in it. Still works.

Only thing is, it wouldn't seem beneficial to have cameras unless the video or pictures was of a high enough quality to EASILY identify the perp.

I think I'm going to go with something with a motion light and a loud horn on my two barns.

… No.

Can't be as high as ground chuck. Unless the burglar's name was Chuck. Who knows?

Kill joy.




Then again, heroin has it's own penalty.
