    I read every post in this thread, so maybe I just forgot my the time I gave my two cents. Maybe I'm the one tweaking!? :eek: Well, at least now with your security cams up you can rush out with your hollow points loaded in your 1911 as you catch them in the act next time before they escape ;)

    Hit the pawn shops if you haven’t already. That’s where your stuff went. There’s probably 2-3 main ones in Missoula that meth heads use. Sorry bro.

    Not everyone carries in Missoula. The town is a strange mix of liberal and conservative mindsets. There are an extensive amount of programs to assist homeless and drug users, therefore a lot of criminal activity perpetuated by it. This is a crime of opportunity on this dude.

    At least all they took was tools. When they broke into my Ram they decided to just take the whole truck.

    this is the reason I don't leave anthing in my truck in plain sight, everything is behind or under seats or in some type of container like the console or glove box. most people wont bother breaking in if they cant see any reason to looking in the window. another option would be 5% tint I guess to lol. sorry for you luck man that really sucks the big one...people these days blow my mind.

    Yeah endless programs that our taxes fund, private ones too. And yet people still indulge begging downtown. I see it all the time. These lowlifes get to live in our town, paid for by our taxes and the hoards of naively compassionate bleeding-hearts, then after getting complimentary meals and a bed, they go out and beg and steal at their leisure.
    I can muster some compassion for the true addicts, but that's where it ends. Lot of just bad people, plain and simple.

    I don't care what any "expert" might say, but being an addict is ultimately a choice. You should hear them when they get busted, all of a suddem they all about "making amends for all of my bad choices" and wanting to "prove" themselves by being "there for the people who love me", blah blah blah. They have the lament down to a true art-form. But if enabled, i.e., given a second chance, 95% of the time they blow it, only to repeat the same schpiel again when caught again. They know, with ever needle stick, that they are headed in a certain direction. It is truly a choice.

    Yikes at that point I'd probably keep a motion light on it. Or my note would read, "touch my car and I'll rip your nutz out."

    On some level it's a choice but there's a reason beyond choice and circumstance that getting sober is 1000 times harder for certain people: some people are genetically predisposed to substance addiction. This is a non-controversial fact in the scientific community.

    That sucks! I live outside Memphis but have been lucky so far. Had my Saturn Vue broken into last year. All I lost was the cost of the replacement window.

    Sure. I'm not saying that some do not struggle more or less with choosing, say, to be abstainent. Quitting smoking or drinking or drugging or overeating or gambling or compulsive shopping or constant hand washing, biting fingernails, nose-picking, all can be extremely difficult to cease. And many of those behaviours at some point cease to be individual choices, they become programmed in a person's lifestyle as virtually automatic. But using meth, for example, requires a series of choices for each and every needle-stick. You don't wake up in the morning as a meth-addict with a loaded syringe in your hand. You have to make a whole series of choices, and take a whole series of actions, to arrive at that point. You have to get the drug if you don't have any, which generally requires money, which then mandates that you either work for the money, beg it, borrow it, or steal it, then contact a drug dealer and make a buy, etc. All of these choices involve elements of effort and many involve risk too. They require conscious thoughts to make them happen, followed by physical and mental action. Yeah, it's complicated, but the solution is ultimately pretty simple. Abstain. Practicing drug addicts and alcoholics don't like the fact that the solution is really quite simple, they want it to be complicated because that justifies continuation.

    It's like when you ask a woman if she wants to go on a date and she says something like "well, my situation is complicated." It really isn't. She has a boyfriend already. She shouldn't go, because she is in a committed relationship. But the guy is kind of a putz, doesn't work much, has become dull and boring, things aren't as exciting as they were with him when they first met.....or they might be with this new guy who appears interested. All she needs to do is choose, yes or no. And live with the consequences of her choice. Either way.
