Being 5'8" 325lbs and very wide in the shoulders, sleeping in the box was out of the question for me when I got hit. Being a big outdoorsman I used an old friend. A 4 and a half foot rattlesnake! I actually heard the screaming and the slamming of the box lid! Hope the druggies got the sh-- scared out of them. I still double lock my truck boxes now anyway!

 

Hahaha. I'm sure that scared the p!ss out of them.

I'd end up sending a crushing blow from my huge right hand that would send him to the promise land.

I still like the rail idea.

ok, big john. Thats a good idea with the rattler though, not many of those around here, id have to use a copperhead. its just as deadly, but doesnt warn you when it strikes!!! i need to move to a nice small town where crap like that doesnt happen much, or to a really nice place without a bunch of uh, people with like, cars on hydraulics and who wear big emblems on their necks.

 

hey i couldn't resist, it's the best line in the song.


Don't forget the ones with spinners and beltbuckles that are computerized.

Hunt them down and destroy them!!!

I am actually completely serious about that statement.

SOMEONE knew about your tools.
Someone knew your habits.
Someone cased you, and picked their time and place to strike....

I AM NOT SUGGESTING TAKING THE LAW INTO YOUR OWN HANDS. Get that plugged in from the beginning!

What I am rationally and seriously suggesting is finding out precisely who did it, what THEIR habits are, what they do, how they are legally vulnerable, how to set them up for justice, and lastly:

Constructing a plan and setting it into operation to put them so far back that they have no time or resources to do anything except avoid jail time.

Ideally:

BUST THEM! Once and for all...

"REVENGE is a dish best served COLD"

 

The above may take some time - be patient. Stupid people leave traces, and often brag about what they did.

DO NOT expose yourself, or be obvious about enquiries.

Take a hard look at your friends, and especially your roomates friends. If someone seems "flakey" they probably are.

Use your instincts, especially your gut instincts.

Listen well, but don't appear to be watching.

Protect what you still have.

You could maybe plant a supposedly high-value decoy at some point to see if someone goes after it - being specific about who you tell about the supposed object.

If a play is made to get it - you will know who knew of it.

There are a lot of options in this game. It sucks to play it, but fun when you get past the necessity for it.

Be alert - they are still out there. Thats why I think you need to neutralise them.

 

Slash, when you find that little town you mentioned and it does not have any of the "mutants" populating it please let me know and send me the real estate listings!!!

 

Greywolf, I talked to a few guys about it at work and have come to the conclusion that one of my co-workers stole my stuff. Just the way he reacted and he knew a little bit too much about what I had in my box. It sucks because it's a guy I work with all the time, we're pretty close to being friends outside of work. He's been really short on money as of late and it just frustrates me more and more as I think about it.

I wish I had some kind of proof because I'd defenitly contact the police if I had any evidence against him other then just speculation.

Just ask for them back when he's done with them and see what he say's.

Hey graywolf, "RUN the Government is after me, your next!!!!" haha, just kidding that last post looked kinda serious.

DT

 

It was serious. That's why it looked that way.

I don't get gutted like that and not go after someone.

Footnote: The most likely people to know exactly what you have, where it is, and what it is worth, are your "supposed" friends. When/If one of them turns on you - maximal reprisals are authorized. Breaches of trust/friendship are unforgiveable.

Footnote 2: Patience is its own reward. Everything has its time.

FN 3: A professional does something like that once, and quits. Amateurs think its cool, and try again...

It comes back to something my Poppa said - never show your money at a bar.

 

I would defenetly go after them. I'd have to get some type of payback. It ain't right for someone to do that and get away with it. They are scum. What happened to the time when you could pull up to a gas station tell the kid whose parents you knew to fill it up and go inside to get a drink. And NOT have to worry about someone taking it?
There used to be a time when you could do that, and a man wouldn't think about touching another man's possesions with out asking first. People used to get shot over that, around here they still do.

I would go get some revenge. Now i'm not saying go beat the snot out of him"I would" but use your judgement and don't get in trouble over it.

I would date his daughter just to tick him off as long as she was good looking . That'd p!ss him off.

I still live in an area where you can do that leave your truck unlocked and not have to worry about my 300 buck stereo being stolen.

Down the road in the neighboring county where my buddy lives. His neighbor got broken into by one of those ghetto bunnies. Well he was dumb enough to come back and this time left his Caprice running for a getaway, he left his jungle drums going tupac or what ever. My buddy's neighbor heard the beats(sorry can't call it music) and he was waiting by the door and when he picked the lock and busted in he happened to find a shovel in his face. Gave him a nose job and his wallet was 1000 bucks lighter. Well 2days later he suddenly turned up scared <!-- sch!ttless -->see the forums guidelines and beat up. and since then he hasn't robbed any one,He even comes to school now. Wonder what big Al did to him? Oh plus he got his stuff back. That's justice. Who robs a man that has deer chains hanging in the front yard ?? and NRA stickers on the front door?

Go get him man.

Wolf i knew it was serious i know it was. I gotta stop kidding myself. I didn't

Low and slow - you don't bag a twelve point by running after it with a baseball bat...

(nuff sed)

 

I had this happen to me last halloween ! someone broke into our shop and stole all of my tools and my boxes 3 of them ,arc welder ,jack, jack stands, ect. about $10,000 worth of stuff . sure there is insurance but they only cover part of it. I also have an idea who it was but no real proof and the guy is now in prison for stealing . so I have to waite untill he is out to confront him. The sherriff's dept was NO help all they could say was " if you had video survalence we could find out who did this" NO REALLY.

 

Unless the 12 point is retarted.

I'm actually not that slow i'm just having a stupid day.

DT

 

BNESS, when i find that place ill probally buy all the land thats for sale in that town so mutants can come and invade it, dont worry, ill hold a spot for you.

About the tools, do what wolfman says, and make sure you dont accidentally date wolfmans daughter, that might mess things up a bit. he seems to know what he is talking about.
