    To my point.. they only get froggy when nobody is there and windows aren’t people.

    Criminals are criminals, but that behavior is the dumb, afraid of confrontation type that tries to be intimidating because they’re not wanting to do anything else. They’re going now into a fucking pool store with fake bills. That type is the dumbest and least effective, relies on someone dumber than they are to be working the register.

    Not arguing with you, just pointing out what the most likely situation is.

    Hopefully they fuck off since our legal system won’t fix this problem. Only fear of bullets, or actual bullets.

    They have cameras. But really, what does a camera do? It records the event so you can look at it AFTER it happened.

    PD did a case number over the phone... haven't even looked at the video or pictures... and probably wont.

    And that's with video of them, in the act of, attempting to pass counterfit bills... and video of them inside the store at 4 o'clock in the morning... coming through the door they just smashed in.

    Cameras can be deterrents. Especially installed on exteriors. Signage adds to the effect.

    I'm surprised no one seems to care about the counterfeit bills.

    From what I gather. PD said that's a Federal Crime under Secret Service jurisdiction. So, basically they just punted it down the road.

    I can't believe they don't seem even interested in the photos and video. There's a good chance these guys have a record and one (or more) local cop may even recognize them.

    As far as cameras go... When I was younger, I was a manager for Wal-Mart (God I'm so glad I don't do that any more) but one of the fun parts of the job was working closely with Loss Prevention. I still have a number of friends in LP... now with WalMart, Lowes, Home Depot, Target. Most will tell you cameras don't make a shit bit of difference to crooks. And I can tell you, first hand, their typically right.

    Secret Service actually is very serious about counterfeiting.

    You could always report it to them instead of the local PD. I have reasonable amounts of experience with this type of thing.

    Not sure what’s weak or trendy, but your post is pretty self righteous when it comes to complaining about groups of friends hanging out together in the woods.

    ...too much shit to list.
    I was never one to be roused by words (or phrases). It’s far more interesting to me when someone calls you a name and...you own it.

    Dad life is way more fulfilling anyways. Enjoy Jason.

    100% yes it does. Not sure if you’re being sarcastic or not. The way you smell, taste and drink a beer is greatly different comparing a can from a proper glass. To a degree, certain types of beers are even ‘better’ in certain glassware shapes designed to better give the aroma of the beer
