Theft Ring Busted

[cqaigy2]

No problema Lou. Like i said as simple as my mind is, it's still hard to read. :drink:

Apparently you almost got it right again. The "Scum bag" wasn't just a thief. My understanding is that he was a home invader! Simple and yet so complicated.

Ha, you remind me of my English teacher, was compelled to pull out the red pencil, she'd even red pencil something she'd already "corrected"

40 years ago it was barn burning. kids would use on site diesel tank to douse the barn. sad form of fun...
They never got our barns but plenty around us

Back in 70s a renter kid down the road burned a barn, smoking....

 

[cqaigy2]

Man, burning barns, that's pretty awful! I've seen a few of those, horses and dairy, those poor animals, the ones that survived had to be put down.

What's worse? Some low life stealing your tractor, or the politicians and bankers stealing billions? Maybe trillions! Doesn't it kind of put things in perspective?

Tractor and ATV thefts seem to be up around here. But that Prime minister of Canada with the fake eyebrows is doing his best to destroy this country (and western culture) from his end.

Leave politics out of it or the thread will be closed...

 

[Industrial Toys]

Just implying that we get robbed at both ends of the spectrum.

Whether you get stabbed with a screwdriver or taken out with a bazooka, I don't see that it much matters. Dead is dead and Mamma probably says he was a "good" boy . One place free for another in the prisons.

Again, an old story. When in high school in a small town, most of the kids played sports. Most of the parents/grand parents/friends went to the games, especially the home games. We had our shop (1/4 mile from house) robbed 3 times within 2 years. Sheriff did nothing, after first robbery, he recommended marking new tools with ID, suggested drivers license number. Replacements bought along with engraver that was used to mark all the tools with name and license number. After the second robbery, sheriff told Pa that driver license can't be used, that he should have used SS#. Pa was fit to be tied, but the replacement tools were all engraved/labeled with SS#.

I am confident that we would have robbed again and again since the sheriff was doing nothing. Pa took some pictures of some tire tracks and footprints (fresh snow is wonderful for capturing those). He asked around who might drive a rig with those type of tires. He knew the punks (helped their single mom with her farm more than once). I got to go along with him when he went to their house. The mom denied it, claiming her boys were such wonderful young men (drug dealers, ran with rough crowds). She called the boys in from the farm shop and when they saw Pa, they turned very pale.

She asked them if they had anything to do with the robberies, they were shaking and denied it sort of.. mumbling. The Momma told Pa that she would take care of it if that was okay with him. Pa replied, ok by me, but I need these boys to know that if anything happens to our house, shop, equipment, anything at all, he was coming after the boys and would handle the discipline personally. The boys were mumbling about not being able to control other peoples actions... Pa said, get the word out, nothing happens at the ranch, period.

I heard from some druggies at school that the Momma had beaten those boys to an inch of their lives (they were much bigger than she was, but she had the power over them). We never had anything stolen or messed with on that farm as long as Pa was alive.

I miss the old days sometimes. I sure miss Pa too, he hardly ever threatened anyone, but when he did, they surely did deserve it.


Perhaps some high mounted flood lights on motion sensors is the answer? If the place was lit up like daytime, those hidden cameras could capture what they need to without infrared flash.

My wife tells me that I play drill instructor too much with my own boys. I do believe in dicipline, but I honestly believe in love more.

If "mamma" had to beat these boys within a inch of their lives at their older age, no doubt she beat them within an inch of their life when they where young (and why were they still stealing if she beat them?). Ultimatley my point is beating kids doesn't accomplish much IMO other than raising kids who want to beat their own kids as punishment.

Don't sell the "drill instructor" short. Most boys do need a strong male presence in their lives; while I don't think it requires beating, I do believe they need the authority and some clear guidelines.

I can assure you, I am the drill instructor. I did basic at Sill and my father was career military and I grew up under him LOL (don't call me sir...)

My only point is that with your children, you need to let them know you love them as actions always speaks louder than words.

The added reality is if you know your children, there could be punishments far more worse than the punishment being "physical".

 

[D2Cat]

I heard it this way. Discipline with love creates maturity. Discipline with out love creates rebellion. We sure have a lot of rebellion going on in our society!

People follow their leaders and overthrow their rulers.... it's that simple.
