How they steal tractors in my place

[Industrial Toys]

Most people who have their stuff stolen have done very little if anything to protect it. And then people say " if someone wants it, they will get it" as if to make them feel better for having expended no effort or expense.

If I leave my tractor outside for a week or so, the battery and starter will be gone, the fuel tank will be empty with a hole drilled on the bottom. If the tank was already empty when the thieves arrive, they will kindly fill the engine with dirt through the valve cover fill port.

Ha Ha Ha !

Gentlemen,

With your permission I am going to tell you a true story of thief in my area.
I have, in my property, many fruit trees and among them there is a huge grapefruit tree I brought back from...Syria where I used to work 20 years ago.
Last winter this tree was packed with fruits, maybe 100 or more but.......when I came to pick them : no fruit remaining.
A thief went there before me. After some weeks I forgot the story and the grapefruits.
Six months later I was having a drink in the nearest city with friends and other persons that I didn't know.
An old man was there with his wife.
He began to tell us a story of a huge quantity of grapefruits he had picked six months ago but "really they were big but not ripe at all". This man lives 5 miles away from my property.
The funny thing is that, during his speech his wife did'nt stopped to pull his pants legs under the table, trying to make him understand he was in front of the grapefruits owner.
My friends, of course were aware of my grapefruit story and secretly laugh when the man was speaking.
One say : 100 days for the thief but one day for the owner !

I would have started by asking where did he happen to get the fruit.

No need to ask. Those grapefruits are unique. Nobody has them 200 miles around me. Could you imagine that he told he picked them "from an abandoned garden not far from his home" ? Obviously he didnt know the owner of the orchard was in front of him.

So why didn't you confront him? Wasn't that a golden opportunity? I might have said, BTW, you owe me for that fruit.

I knew that this gentleman suffers from some kind of mental deficiency and his wife has great difficulty in taking responsibility for her husband's actions. This is why I forgot the grapefruits and reinforced ......the monitoring of my trees by hunting cameras.

Is the mental deficiency called criminal behavior? lol

As far as he is concerned, one can induce the other !!!

Pecan stealing: Years ago my dad came up on a couple of local teenage boys (brothers) picking up our pecans. They already had 2-3 feed sacks full in the trunk of their car. My dad said something like, Boys put those sacks in the back of my pickup then go home and have your daddy call me. Those boys had an honest but tough and mean daddy. The boys came by later to apologize but I heard they did it standing up. :laughing:
