    They’re just repeating what other people say. It’s the hallmark of basic bitch groupthink. Most shit talkers have never even been there.

    The tin foil arcs because of sharp corners. You can microwave metal, it just has to have no surfaces that want to reach out and arc

    like a spoon.

    Its much better when you touch the capacitor while microwaving tinfoil. Or take the filament out of the magnetron and hold the thorium while touching the capacitor. They say you can hear angels singing...

    Cool, your boy is LAPD! Where is he assigned? What does he do?
    I worked for the LAPD for three years or so maintaining their Kawasaki's for West Traffic Motor's Big Boots crew. Good times for sure!

    Appears to be the only CL ad within the time frame, but the piss poor picture appears not to show any scratches.

    I've been around the this globe twice and seen some fairly sketchy places. Places where you put your wallet in your front pocket any your Copenhagen in your sock. But, Stockton Ca. Ya gotta Sailor up. Not trying to talk down your other "bad" locations, just saying.

    Problem with contacting the police is that they might be in on the tailgate theft! I would try to meet them in a neutral setting, take a buddy with me, be sure to carry side arms (one OWB under a jacket or shirt and one ankle holster (long pants) and go get it!

    Bringing a gun to a craigslist meet up is a good way to score that felony.

    I once did this. A friend had his super duper high tech flip up dvd deck stolen back in the day, and it popped up on Craigslist. Us, being the super smart, super capable, super armed Bros decided we were gonna get the situation sorted out ourselves. Drive out to The east side and just knock on the door, inspect the thing, and match up serial numbers...and if it matched, we were gonna call em on it. Except when I knocked on the door, 3 of the biggest fuckin dudes I’d ever seen in my life came out and popped the garage. While I waited for them to get the deck, I saw 180lb dumbbells next to a preacher bench. Some dude was curling 2 180s. And there was 3 of these guys, possibly armed. Even if I had a tranquilizer gun and a baseball bat, I wasn’t realistically gonna make it out of there. Rhinos these guys were. Sure...a person could just shoot them, but guess what brah... in that specific scenario, you’re gonna do time. Prosecution is going to paint a pretty vivid picture of how the defendants armed themselves and went to a house to investigate stolen goods... and there’s gonna be time. The good news for me was that the numbers didn’t match. And the bullshit plans about “just git you u some friends and go get it” carries real ass consequences.
