Thread: I hate a thief

if this is canaan, Ms, i used to own a place there . couldn't keep nothing for folks stealing. back then a lot of the houses had chop shops.

A good friend of mine was nearly cleaned out- tractor implements, four wheelers, generators, etc. etc. When the caretaker showed up, the thieves had UTVs lined up and waiting to be loaded on a trailer and it looked like their big tractor may have been next. This wasn't the first time they'd been hit, but it was definitely the biggest.

Here's what they did, and your mileage may vary- their camp was located off of a stretch of road with a couple of shacks and such that folks lived in and where the suspected thieves lived. They hired the oldest man on the road, one of those dudes who was so old nobody knew how old he was, to weed eat around the camp and sweep off the porch once a month or whatever. They paid him $40 or $50 every month. Well, he was the grandfather or great uncle of nearly everybody in the community. Theft came to a screeching halt, and they haven't had a problem since. This was three or four years ago.

Sorry you got hit, seems like at one time or another everyone has to deal with this. What about a good trail camera hidden somewhere to monitor? Hope they catch the scum.

Thieves are scum of the earth.

Hate that for you. Would it do any good to post a good description of your 4-wheeler on here, maybe we can help find it on crags list, etc.

Sux..... I hate a thief!

It would be nice if they could find them--but in my experience--it's long gone.
Had my dads truck stolen from work about a year ago--haven't had the first call from the Popo about it.

Really hate it for you!Can't take nothing for granted anymore.Whoever did that will meet their maker one day!
