Guard your cables...

Apparently the price of copper is up. Come home today and someone has not only stolen the 25' 30amp extension cord, but also cut the shore power line at the side of the TT. Just F'n Great. To start off the week two of my company vans had the cats cut off of them, a hit to the budget of @ 1200.00 each and now this to finish off my week. Almost makes me want to put an ad on craigslist that I have more copper for them, it's wrapped around .40 caliber hunks of lead. Oh and have a safe and happy New Years everyone.

Tweakers. Legalize it and let them fry their brains without having to steal stuff to get it.

I don't think that would help, they just steal to steal too.

I'm sure you are right. I'm just not very tolerant when it comes to theiving. People work too hard these days to have nice stuff to enjoy, then have some dirthole steal it.

In on the original poster's Craigslist idea.

six weeks ago i moved my coach to front of house in order to pack some "stuff" for a short trip. was'nt parked there ten minutes when---BAM!--- some fool decided to do a drive-by graffiti run, on the front mask! yeah, i was tweaked! never gave it another thought until reading this post. i'm not a paranoid man, but, i did put power cord inside cabinet, so IF this happens, they only get extension cord. thanks for the warning.
