    some are too stupid to even be thieves

    remember the 50 lb #1 that was stolen from me last week. We found the thief. It was exactly who I thought it might be, a friend of one of the kids staying with us the one who kooked like a skin head.



    here is how stupid the kid is. on the 13 the day the copper was stolen he was at the house on the computer with the others playing black ops or some thing. he is broke, they went to the store and my son had to buy his drink, that night the copper grows legs, the brass I found half way down the drive. the copper was gone. next day (the 14th) he dosent come over . on the 15th the day we went to the yard in Dothan he shows up with a bundle of cash. Joe asks him where he got the money. his answer ! I stole a bunch of copper and sold it in Panama city. Joe: where did you steal the copper. stupid: it is better you dont know. here is the thing he has one leg and a prosthesis, that is why he couldnt cary both buckets, and had to leave one in the drive way. hes on probation for stealing already, and we researched the social sites and wa la ther bold as can be is photos of him displaying and holding stolen guns. we will handle this first thing Monday morning.

    Some are born stupid, others have it thrust upon them.

    How old is this kid? Sucks to have a prosthesis, but maybe someone did not teach him right from wrong. I hate theives.

    That's a shame,,, but if he's a minor all they'll do is slap his fingers again and let him go!

    My thought is that if crooks worked as hard at a job as they do stealing and lying, they'd be rich within a year.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    Let us know what happens to the stupid idiot olddude. Maybe he can be turned over to you for his punishment! I'm sure you could come up with some not so favorable tasks! Make him strip copper for a year!!

    well found our thief and the copper. and justice (the old fashioned kind) was meated out with liberal abandon. it was exactly who we suspected. he sole 50# of #1 bare bright $190 for $25 so he could buy a GRAM OF POT. we got the three parties together with my two sons my wife (who is a lioness all by herself) and my self, they decided it would be a good idea, < after viewing the old fashioned justice meated out to the thief, that it was probably a good idea to return the copper to its rightfull owners, no charge. also it was stated by them we would have no more problems with pot or drug buyers pilfering from our small yard. this method was made necessary by the local cadre of "law enforcment personal" ignoring the situation , after all were just scrappers.

    See, this right here just shows how ... and I hate to use this word but, ignorant ppl can be about what we do. We work hard for this stuff and it's a job just like any other job. I'm glad you got your justice olddude.
