That sucks Jay. Sorry to hear that. We've never had a house broken into, but we've had our vehicles broken into.

While I was in college, some schmuck stole all of my college textbooks out of my vehicle, but left about $1,000 CDs and about $1000 worth of stereo equipment alone.

A few years ago someone broke into our van in our driveway and stole my wife's counseling files (WTF?). They probably thought there was something valuable since they were in a locked case.

Dogs work better than security systems (cheaper too). Carley has a nice loud bark when someone comes to the house. That usually deters a cowardly thief.

That is true!

Sounds like a good reason to drive the truck! I bet another quart will bring it up to where it is suppose to be.

Well, well.....I knew you would run with that one Jim.

I will have my trusty Ol Polaris back together soon. It is just a bolt or two...or three.

Yeah, It drives fine but why chance the damage it might be doing. Plus I get to drive the truck!

Then I NEED to wash it! Dirty piggy!

Yeah not worth the risk.

I am sure it will run better once it is clean too!

That could be a good time to have video. LOL

I had a diamond bracelet stashed in my old truck for a few days before our anniversary one year and it got stolen. That really sucked.

A dog may get a little hungry and warm locked in the house all summer. Plus the smell would be terrible after a while...

On second thought... maybe I don't want to see that video. If I end up doing that someday, I'll send the video to you at work just in case it provides some kind of entertainment...

Anything valuable in my vehicle gets locked in a safe.
