I Got home from the VA late yesterday and noticed that they had finely replaced all the porch lights and glass covers on the ground floor, for the past few month someone has been removing the light bulbs and covers from the porch lights apparently whoever has been doing this couldn't get the cover off. So this is what I woke up to this morning.
It shorted everything out but my office, bedroom and bathroom. Why do people have to be such a$$holes.

The scap buyers need to be held accountable for whatever they take in and, like a pawn shop, NOT be permitted to "move" anything for 30 days time. I still have not gotten my shotgun returned to me after it's being confiscated for disabling some puke's right front tire .......while he was browsing in my barn for his FOURTH load of my stuff. After restitution, I believe I'll treat myself to a nice stainless Winchester pumper !:cheesygrin:

It's mouth wash and 7-up here. Some people need a cheap high. Others need a cheap way of earning...well not much.
Re-plumbing your house and getting rid of all that copper? Someone WILL take it. Everyone's out to make money. -
This doesn't happen much in Wyoming, we are derisively called a "gun culture" state in some quarters. We don't have to shoot out tires.
I hear is some areas of the country is is Tide detergent.Radio Station W7ITC -
Good luck with that, around here most are owned or operated by the mob.The scap buyers need to be held accountable for whatever they take in and, like a pawn shop, NOT be permitted to "move" anything for 30 days time."He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster.

Here in TX scrap yards take finger prints and photos....there are only certain ones you can take copper pipe or AC cores too. And if your caught on a pipe yard, commercial business, or a new neighborhood and even pick up a copper penny that ain't yous its an automatic felony....don't mess with Texas...and yes shoot first ask questions later is not a property crime2-channel: Modwright KWI-200 Integrated, Dynaudio C1-II Signatures

Paint "huffing' is as old as Methuselah, the name "dope" came from using glue called dope to sniff and get high with !

The term dope was first used in the late 1880's as a reference to opium and opium smokers.If you can't hear a difference, don't waste your money. -

Wow they are getting smarter....Back in the days when I lived in Kenora, it was mouthwash (no mix), huffing gas, glue and any type of spray (which had to be bought behind the counter) -
Latest theft run I have heard around here is brass flower urns in the cemetery. I do not know how they steal it from the stores,but Tide is locked up at all stores ,just like infant formula and smokes.

Bottled hairspray too now... quite sad really. All the others you mentioned are still frequently seen daily. -

Tide ? What the heck are you supposed to do with Tide ?
They do keep some brands of tide locked up behind Plexiglass: the HE Coldwater's always secured. I always wondered why.Sal Palooza -
I heard what was represented as a really true story, of a couple of nitwits that after huffing some propane, decided to light up some cigarettes, bad plan ! :eek:

Tide's become the easily stolen store item that's also easy to peddle on the street. I saw a segment on this trend on 60 minutes or some other newshour show. -

Thanks for sharing that with us... I know it must have been difficult for you, but at least now we understand a bit better.

BINGO!, I think it's the meth head on the third floor above me. He's a real a$$hole, He parks where ever he wants (usually my spot when I'm gone so I have to get the manager to slap a tow sticker on his car), he's constantly throwing trash, cigaret butts, buckets of dirty water etc.. off his balcony on to the walkway right outside my door he even empty's his barbeque off his balcony!
Whoever is taking the light bulbs I don't think they want the bulbs I think they don't want it lit up back there at night because there taking all the bulbs from the ground floor. Sounds like something a paranoid meth head would do.

Looks like its time to set up a camera. Catch them in the act.

Funny I was just thinking about doing that this morning. But this place is suppose to have them already, But I don't think management even bothers with them anymore.“The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.” ~ Mark Twain
