Thread: Thieves at Reelfoot

I have a small cabin in the woods in Alabama that we use during deer season mostly. This year I went to put some diesel in the Kubota and all 3 5 gallons cans were gone. I have 5 deer cameras trained on the cabin and the shed. If the boys had posed for the picture it wouldn't have been any more perfect. I recognized both boys and I confronted them at their granddads. After seeing the pic they fessed up. These boys were left for the grand parents to raise and they are in their eighties. They promised to reimburse me out of their own pockets. They did not and grandma ask me to file theft charges which I did. They can not handle these thugs. It went to court in Jan and both boys are in the Marines now. If they get kicked out they do a year. The boys had been in trouble several times and were kicked out of school. I remember when you visited your grand parents and then went home but it is not that way now.

I don't see it getting any better. Fuel prices are sky rocketing and and the sky must be the Limit. Exxon posted a $90Billion profit last year! Wages seem to be dropping and as a retired man I can tell you it hurts. Our retirement will not go up. I guess We are luckey. I have a good pension and health insurance form the company I worked for. Although our health insurance has increased 300% in 5 years. I feel for some of you guys who will not have any pension or insurance when you retire. Medicare is great but you still have to cough up 20% plus medicine, glasses and dental.
