Robbed

[richwrench]

Took yesterday off to watch my Son graduate high school - Great day ! - I get to the shop this morning & found the lock cut off & about 10,000 dollars worth of tools stolen. What a kick in the balls. I don't own most of the stuff - its company owned, so I'm not financially ruined or anything, but this still sucks. Gonna a ***** to work to work here for a while. Sheriff said this was already his 3rd burglury investigation this AM. All easily pawned stuff - wrench sets, socket sets, air tools, scan tools. I guess times are hard out there for some people to resort to this. Thank God my 'Max & my own tools are safe at home.

Awe man! Sorry to hear this but at least the Max is safe at home and you or a family member wasn't hurt!

Always a bright side to everything...:eusa_dance:

It just keeps getting better - on my way home I got rear-ended by a 95 year old man - once again, good thing the 'Max was home in the garage. I'm done with this day - It's Miller time...

Wow, you are having a bad week. Maybe you should take the rest of the week off! I hope next week turns out better.

Damn Rich talk about a ****** week.
Yeah times are tough with gas prices and other things on the rise. People have kids to feed.
Well a local metal shop (small private owned) kept getting robbed so of course the guy made a police report blahh blahh. After the third time the owner decided to sleep at the shop a few nights.
Well the thug came to steal but wound up shot dead by the owner early one morning.
You havent seen nothing yet with the econmy, just going to get worse. Glad your hanging in there.

Yea it's getting crazy out there.One of my customers came home the other day and opened his garage door to see a car parked in his garage that he did not recognize. He called the police and the guy ran out the back door and fled on foot. apparently he stole this car from somewhere and pulled it in this guy's garage so he could load all of his stuff without neighbors seeing him. Geez it takes a big set of nuts to try a stunt like that...

Lankeeyankee is right on the money!
Lock up your stuff, get your alarms working, and load your guns!
Because crime is definitely going to get worse. Especially with police forces cutting down on patrolling due to higher gas prices!


And sorry your having a run of bad luck Rich!
Keep focused on the positives!

Hey Rich...

Sorry to hear this...maybe Verizon should consider, or should have considered some private security...I KNOW they could afford it!

Bad news about the rearend...glad you weren't on the bike...good news is, if he was really that old, he wasn't going that fast... usually about 32mph in the middle lane, with r/turn signal on... FL REALLY needs to road test all FOG drivers after age 60 every year...

Don't forget 'Bikers for ****s' this Sunday...hope to see you there, weather permitting...I hear it should stay pretty dry...

Take care!
