Thieves

I stopped at autozone last night and the guy told me he was putting a battery in for a customer and set it down to go in and get a new cable  and while he and the battery customer were in the store some one stole the battery.  Less than 5 minutes total.  

A fellow in the twin cities had lost tools several years ago and he kept watch9ing papers and looking at craigs list and one day (about 3 years later) he ran across a bunch of tools that were being listed on craigs and called the fellow up and went and looked at them. Sure enough they were his with his etchings on them yet. Told the fellow that he would have to go and get some money and went down the road and picked up his cell phone and called the police and just sat there and watched until they showed up and then he came back and identified his tools and the police took pics of them for evidence and then gave the tools to the rightful owner. Never heard what happened to the scumbag that stole them. Should have given him a public flogging in the middle of town and then put a big branding iron on his forehead that said "THEIF" for all to see. And the next time he gets caught, be missing fingers.  ..  Some country's punishment is if you get caught, your life expectancy is shorten to just hours..

What show is in Ft Wayne?

Three places broke into a week ago in my area. They are taking iron mostly, but here's the kicker, a lot of fellas by me who farm are also deer hunters and even the ones who don't hunt have been putting up those wildlife motion activated cameras because of all the thefts in the area over the last year and a half and the thieves have caught on to this as well and steal the cameras or just take hammer to them. Nice huh!!! I hate to say this but I can see a time coming when it might not be a good idea to call the police anymore and just have property owners take care of the thief problem themselves. What the police don't know won't hurt them. Enough said!

One of the mega farmers in my area, hired  a cut rate trucking outfit to haul all of his grain. A neighbor was behind this trucker in line, and noticed the trucker filled out that he was the owner of this load of grain. The neighbor notified the mega farmer, and they did a little checking. So far, from one elevator, they have 11 semi loads a year for 11years,  at an average of $4 a bushel. I wonder if this could be a record.
