    What is the fastest way to burn a pile of logs?

    Stolen Tractor - New Holland TC 45

    CH4Ohio has the right idea. I used to be the creditor of many. A sister gave up the location of her brother for $400. I wound collecting $80,000. A girlfriend for $200 gave up the location of her ex's auto for my repossession. It's not the value of the missing goods - it's the need of the...
