There is no trade more despicable than thieving. Hardly anything else that gets my blood to boiling than a thief.

I feel like I have earned everything I have in this old world.If someone is down and out I can be charitable and help them out if they ask....
For someone to decide what you have is theirs violates your trust in humankind.They dang well know what they are doing is not right but do it anyway.I feel sorry for someone that despicable.I cannot imagine what living life as that person could be like.
We all are products of what our lives have made us.All the influences along the way.Be thankful for all the good role models in your life.
A thief has missed a descent upbringing.That is a shame.
Take a deep breath and say a prayer for them.Hope beyond hope they reform....
Hard to believe that years ago we didn't lock our doors at home and my Dad never took the keys out of his truck and car when parked at home. Now days it is dangerous to not lock anything up. I even hate to go in a store and leave my boat un watched while in the store nowadays.
Not all thieves had a bad upbringing. I don't feel a bit sorry for anyone of them. Sure don't feel sorry for them if they get caught by the person they are stealing from get what they deserve.
scrat when I was growing up our doors were never locked we left our keys in our vehicles not once growing up did we have to deal with a thief. Now days seems most out on the streets are thieves. To lazy to work a real job much easier to steal from hard working people.
Didn't you get hit once before up town?
My house got broke into a few weeks ago got my big screen and just vandalized my house. $8000.00 worth. It's a feeling you can't describe.

I was talking to a guy one day when I pulled up to a fishing spot. Must have chatted for 15 mins and seemed like a good chap. I had too much stuff to take down to the water in one trip so I left the minnow bucket by my car. When I got back to my car he had absconded with the minnow bucket.
As pointed out above the worst thing about thieves is they change the way you view strangers. I have given odd jobs to guys down on their luck and been robbed by them as well. It is almost impossible to tell on first meeting a person what kind of person you are dealing with. It is really hard after years of bad experiences not to be suspicious of anyone you don't know well. You have two choices, write off the transgression you have suffered or become a cranky old man like me. I hope you do better than I have.
Fishing solo at the big 4 is a crap shoot . Have had rod stolen while getting minnows at Lawlers old place on 32. (Enid) Tackle box at Holiday lodge (Sardis) while parking truck . Also stuck boat paddle at Bryant's ramp on Grenada to avoid having boat drift off since there is no place to pull boat up . When I got back paddle was gone . At least there are sorry folks everywhere . :dono
I used to lose batteries on my rice power units on a weekly basis until I found some old 3/4" behind the shop. I cut it in pieces and put over the batteries with locks where they couldn't get bolt cutters to. The links were too big for bolt cutters too . Problem solved. Before they would cut the cables with cutters instead of taking off the clamps.
My truck got broke into few years back they went through my brief case and glove box and your right the feeling you have afterwards sucks made me feel violated and down right angry.Quote:

Yep. Moved out to the country to get away from that stuff. Granted, my little Kubota was sitting unprotected at the farm, but it was under the tractor shed with a security light shinning on it.Quote:

Yep. We always did that on our irrigation power units. And we got batteries stolen off of our equipment pretty regularly to. Just wrote it off as the cost of doing business. Tried to keep a hand living in the house next to the shop as well, but since I don't farm anymore, i don't have a hand living at the headquarters. This feels much more personal to me.Quote:

Nowadays everyone is in a big hurry and are not nearly so social.That's a shame it has become this way....
I only get a few weeks vacation a year and am refreshed every time to get to meet and talk to good folks in Mississippi while getting to enjoy some fishing.Some of the nicest folks around...
There are a majority of good people in the world with a few bad apples everybody has to deal with.
When we grew up and even when I got married we didn't lock the house or take the keys out of the cars. When we started to the hospital when my son was born, we got to the highway and there was a roadblock because a convict had escaped from Parchman,7 miles away. I said maybe we better go back and lock the house and get my keys out of the truck. The law saw us turn around and followed us back to the house to check us out. The did call ahead and tell them to let us through all the other roadblocks going to the hospital.
Same here. What a shame

That stinks. Can't tolerate a thief. Better be glad you didn't lock that battery in tho. Those kinda folks will tear your stuff plumb up trying to get to something. They'll cause more damage getting to a battery than 10 batteries will cost ya.

That's no lie. 6 months after I bought my new truck, someone cut off both catalytic converters while parked at a boat ramp. They cut the O2 sensor wires and everything. I was told they probably got $75 for them at the scrap metal place. Cost $1500 to replace everything.Quote:

I really would not much like to catch either one in the act.
