Preventing gas theft

Public service announcement for gas thieves that use a drill:
Do not use an electric drill. Use this:

 

I plan to park my truck on top of pile of poop. And make America great again

 

Well stated. This is a basic fact. It's also a cultural thing. I hate to say that, but when I was stationed in Japan my 1k mountain bike could be left in front of a mall with thousands of people walking by and they would only stop to admire it, but it would get stolen on base by amerikans. Same reason why the younger generations feel entitled and parents think a college education will make their kids successful automatically. Selfish, non respecting, self centered, ego centric, sit on someones expensive car to take a selfie, self righteous US.

 

I lived there in 1992. I had a car window broken and the stereo ripped out, which I didn't replace the stereo. I started leaving the door unlocked, and one day found that the lock had been picked. I moved!

 

Gotta admit, I'd be tempted to do more than call the police. One of the things that occurs to me is going out front and putting a knife in their tires.

 

See right there is the problem. You can't just waive a magic wand and have nice stuff. You have to work for it. Big difference between now and then, a lot of people want everything right now and not have to put the time in and work hard to get it. Seems like you are the delusional one, and if you consider working for what you have entitlement then I guess I'm guilty.

Wrong again on the house but yes I do keep my truck in a garage with all of my other vehicles I own and have paid off.

 

This is a big reason why we have a problem, it's about time we enforce our right to protect our selves and our property. The LEO catches these scum bags, but it takes less time for them to be released than the ride to the precinct lol!

This also must be memorializing to our LEO staff

 

I think you are over-estimating the average tweaker, 'cause someone is getting a battery drilled, you know, for the electricity.

 

I can appreciate your perspective. I would admit I'm probably a little complacent to crime with how low-key it is where I am, but part of being prepared to me are risk-based assessments of your circumstance and surroundings. I'm more worried about hurricanes and tornadoes that I am with property crime. I get everyone will be different.

 

In your personal experience and the example you gave being in Japan, what reason(s) do you feel it is different there? Honest question based on curiosity, nothing more.

And yes re the last sentence. Or just not caring. I couldn't tell you how many times I've had to ask people (be they randos or those who know me well) to GTFO my damn truck. It's not a piece of furniture or a place to throw your trash, asshole.

 

I don't know why things are so different specifically (and this is saying it in a generalized way...there are always those small cases). But, I can say that for the most part....asian countries just have a respect for things (that was my experience in korea, viet, japan, thailand). Like I went to an older couples home in japan and they had a stereo from 1970's and I asked why they don't get a new one and they said ..because this one still works. We on the other hand are a disposable society and want the latest and greatest regardless of need (and all newer generations I'm sure). When I was in Africa (somalia)...so many people had nothing of possession, but there was still so much jealousy and greed over scraps. It's no wonder these countries never rebuilt from colonization and otherwise. Japan, korea, and viet had friggin wars and look at their economies now! Just saying there is a national pride of sorts there. Again, this is me just taking a stab in the dark on what I saw and felt while living abroad.

 

I will note that a kid in DC who was killed recently for messing with someones car has been a big headline. The guy who shot him wasn't the owner of the car and is being charged. I understand the anger because I would be angry no matter. But your life has to be on the line to raise the level to lethality. But again....I don't fault the shooter because I can't stand those who don't respect someone elses property! Eff around!

 

In general dude. Besides...those gangs would steal a whole friggin fuel truck....not from parked cars. haha

 

The problem isnt so much the gas itself, but rather the hole thats drilled in the tank.

 

No, but most of this crap does.

 

Austin was open to receiving them…now Austin has been ruined.

 

This is signature worthy!
