    $50 per month is a small size
    Upstate you can rent a decent size APT for $350 per month .
    Yes over $50 per month walked
    The tighter I get he still finds some thing . At this point I see two stiles of theft if I have a few items of true value he takes half . Yet I also see he will take a bucket of short that clearly he knows I will realize whats up . This could be the work of more then one at this point. They are country junkies , guns are easy to buy here including pistols . Hunting is big . If I could catch him in the act , It will be like catching a cornered Rat. Just for the record there are a rash of robberies going on and the locals will tell you this town was never like this . Back just a few years and all years before locking your home door was not Necessary.
    I left the city suburbs in favor of clean ,safe & more honesty. I feel it might be worse here now , as the country junkies know the territory & take advantage of what the country really is . No cops and plenty of back roads & it's dark .
    I heard harbor freight has a system for $50 thats the only way i will catch him or them.
    --------------------

    Some of the real damage is my marriage, see scrap does produce money yet the visual sacrifice is a small working yard so to say.
    As your stuff walks , also walks some of the fun of a family dinner day or some shopping at wall mart with the family.
    As I regroup there is less to spend and the damage is two fold less money , & yet I still have the look of a working yard that starts to have a harder time proving it's reality .
    Regardless I did up a boiler as short today and have a nice house dismantling project this week - fridges - water heater - wire - I am going to do my best to keep my partner out of the loop , he brings nothing to the table . But for sure he is a wasted talent.
