    Yesterday evening after working on my truck for a while in the driveway, I started to pack up to go to dinner and noticed my 2-year old son's stroller missing from the front porch. I asked my wife "know where the chariot is?"
    "Nope."
    SoaB!!
    Someone took it upon themselves to walk up on my porch and help themselves to my kids stroller. Heartless asshole.
    People suck!

    I know it is just a thing and yeah, we should have kept it safe...
    but man, I think it is the principal of it. That someone thought it okay to take what doesn't belong to him.
    My son and I have used this thing more than anything in every season. It has been our way to get out and away.

    where are you at in the NE?

    good neighborhood gone hood or just random act of a crackhead.

    I can't think of anyone stealing a stroller except for a tweaker looking for their next dose

    That sucks.
    When we were living in a neighborhood I randomly started burning through an incredible amount of lawn mower gas. I did a full tuneup on the mower (air filter, fresh oil, new plug, cleaned the carb, etc), but I was still using WAY more fuel than I should have been. Could not figure it out for the life of me.
    Another house on the circle had some stuff stolen out of their garage, so I put a lock on the shed. Suddenly the mower's fuel consumption dropped back completely to normal.


    Bottom line; I hate people.

    I like people, but I don't trust many of them.

    Hell, I even lock my doors when I park at the kids elementary school, walk 20 yards to the door, stand right inside that glass door and sign them out with the truck in plain view.

    Trust. It's NOT what's for dinner...

    Just a bunch of selfish people that have no respect for anyone or anything. It's amazing to me everyday the people I run into that just have no regard for other people or their property. Very few people left with manners and respect

    Rant away my friend!!

    People, as a general rule of thumb, are broken. Our species generally sucks and are assholes.

    LOL... I got Camden, NJ 10 miles from my house and zero of those type issues.

    I attribute the lack of theft in my hood to my location and neihbors. I live on a court so no traffic and my neighbors are a retired Chief of police for my town, a sheriffs deputy, and a Lieutenant in the Army. My court will literally fuck you up.

    I don't think that people are terrible. There are just a few people that don't give a rat's ass about anyone but themselves. I'm one of those people that gets upset when people just throw trash on the ground though.
