Scrap Drama! Lucky I don't catch these people.

I come home yesterday and the glass from a patio table I had at the curb which was intact in the morning was shattered all over my lawn. I go out and clean it up and my neighbor lets me know he saw someone who looked like a redneck through his window in a beat up truck pick up a tv from my curb realized it was scrapped and literally threw it down on the glass, mother-f'r. This is the 2nd time this has happened now.

Rewind about 6 months ago, I hear pounding on my door at 1230 am I get dressed and it stops then starts again, I go answer the door and it is two of my neighbors. I'm a heavy sleeper but someone threw a tv at one of the cars in my driveway, it barely missed but exploded and sounded like a bomb waking up the neighborhood. It left one hell of a mess to clean up and I no longer go barefoot anywhere in the front yard.

Another time I found a whole box of empty dvds, probably a few hundred I got skunked so I set them at the curb, someone else must have tried to grab them and realized that and they threw the whole box over my lawn.



I have a video camera I hook to my computer hard drive, but I don't run it all the time since it bogs down the computer, I'm going to build a tower just for the camera setup, especially since I have had my truck broken into 5x in the past year, and upgrade to a night vision camera.

Setup the security camera to show date and time, and angle them to where you can catch the license plates.

Turn it over to the police and turn them in for vandelism of property!

Out smarting the scum of the earth is a never ending job.

There is an item you can get for you camera system. It is a motion detector that will automatically turn on the recording equipment, uses dvd so there's not a lot of dead air time.

The red neck refers to the sun burn on the back of the neck of hard working outdoors people here in the midwest and south. I have been a proud redneck since the age of six, from pulling weeds in the garden, at the age of 9 from driving the tractor in the fields. later in the oil fields of Oklahoma, and humping the paddy berms and jungles of the "Green" land with 80 lbs on my back. just sayin.

I was about ready to unload both barrels when I read the "redneck" remark. Then I read your post, olddude and decided you said it much more politically correct than I would have. Thanks.

I think the terms redneck and scumbag are being confused here. Back in the day a redneck was a farmer who was bent over working the field all day thus his neck got red from the sun! I am a proud redneck!

ScrapYaHerd sad but I know what you mean. I have one computer just for cameras! Times are bad and there seems to be less and less respect for others by the day!

That's why I bought my own 2 yard dumpster. Cheaper than renting, and it's dumped about every month for $16.00 a dump.

I found the cameras were okay but I think my new gard dog will be able to stop acts like this in there tracks!

That same neighbor was the first in the neighborhood, he bought his house were none others were being constructed so if a white person moved in next door it was their fault, haha he literally said this to me, this used to be old cracker florida. That same neighbor tried to buy a newspaper after getting off work 2 years ago in chrsitmas florida and his business was refused, they wouldn't take his money.

So because your neighbor is black that gives him and you the right to use the terms "redneck" and "cracker" in a derogatory way? Or just in reference to "lowlifes"?
