    Funny scrapping story ahead.

    I was at a yard (wont give the name of who) down in Dallas doing some business when I saw the owner (he pretty much stays in his office but him and me have talked a good few times) so I had thought he went on a late lunch (it was around 2:30) so him and me started talking about other issues and so i asked him what he did he go have for lunch (I was hungry but did not know what I wanted to eat).

    At there yard they have rail cars that they can roll into there yard to load them up and they push them out to into a staging spot until the train comes and picks them up. So this is what he told me.

    The rail road company called them and told them that they saw trucks/trailer and people on top of the rail car and looked to be unloading it so him and about 6 or so cops rolled on over there (when I saw rolled over there its like 400yards away...) and they got them lmao. They had a few trucks and trailers loaded up with the scrap yards metal...its not like they where taking copper or AL or anything good...it was all short steel but come on... that's pretty dumb to take it from the rail car that's not far from the scrap yard one...and two being on top of the rail road with trains going in and out all the time.




    Thought you would like to hear the story of the thieves that failed.

    I wonder if there really is a stupid gene! Great story Easy.
    Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.

    So, where DID he get his lunch?
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    Of course there is a stupid gene...how else do you explain politicians (both sides), lawyers, and tweekers?

    I love reading about stupid criminals they make me smile.
