Oh yes Friz, you have to watch those bandidos. It's part of their DNA; if it makes it to their "velcro" hands it will be gone. On base they stold silverware, gas, tools and government property. In Yuma they go to the ranges and take unexploded ordnance.

We're talking about getting a real house with a garage...So if I leave the door open when the "landscapers" are outside, will they save me the problem of moving costs?

do you have these in Tx or is this just a Cali thing?

My dads neighbor in Tucson collects stuff all winter long and make a trip to Mexico in the summer. They leave everything piled up on their back patio until it's time to load up. They do keep it clean though (as much as they can).

^^^ that is funny. I heard a story back in the 90's about some guy who had a brand new vcr box with a brick in it. He hustled this guy for $80 because he thought it was stolen and the dude was worried about getting caught and wanted to leave quick...yeah, he bought a brick.

The seller better hope the buyer never sees him again....or he may find that portions of said brick are now permanently lodged in his skull. Out here, if the guy had opened the box prior to leaving, the seller may have found himself on the business end of some ugly hardware.

Of course, buying electronics from some guy at the park isn't exactly the brightest move.

it was a mechanic at an auto repair place in the bad part of town. When I worked in downtown SD (the ghetto), you would get a lot of pretty hot items offered for sale pretty regularly- often times tools which were popular. So I could see how he would fall for that as these businesses were sort of the fencing mechanism for the street people.

I have a lot of downtown stories.

Hell, that reminded me of a story my mother told my when I was a youngster. A gal she worked with was suppose to bring a pee sample to the doctor but forgot to get one of those special little cups. So she use the next best thing, a pint whiskey bottle. On the way to the doctors she had to stop someplace and left the bottle sitting in the front seat. When she came back out the bottle was missing.

Somewhere out there, old "Pissbreath" has learned to add a smell test to his thieving ways......

You reminded me of another story...when my family would go on long trips, my father never wanted to stop. Got to go? Use a cup and toss it out the window. You only forget to toss it and absentmindedly take a sip out of a cup later, ONCE.
