Gear Stolen

Dang,

Guess i ain't so slick after all;

Jest been busted!

Accidentally, Annonamously been sending flowers to my girlfriend's mother on my girlfriend's birthday (even when apart)with one of them unsigned thank you cards they throw in......

She always just figured it was for whatever charity work she had been involved in at the time!

74 year old ladies prolly don't get enough fleurs anyways.......

Never know when you could get crossed up and caught!

I would not have dirt delivered-fresh pig or poultry manure or swamp mud would be great to have dumped in a drive especially in the summer.

Another good one would be a lawn and garden "treatment" while he was out-with ROUNDUP!

JPS, the 1-800 number idea is great. I think my ex boss deserves his existing 800 number for the tree service to be linked to an ad in the local paper for a "free" escort service or phone porn or similar-the phone would be ringing off the hook, he would get stuck with the bill, and have to have the number changed which could not be remidied until the next year's yellow pages get out.

Tree Spyder for the record I do not possess any porn of any kind nor would I know where to find any on the internet at present. Just associating someone with it here would be h*ll until you manged to clear things up. So fine, send some blank discs, and files with titles only. Not mentioning less than "clean" subjects at all is not an answer to the problem, and in fact is exactly the attitiude I have run into with the local police, justice system and media in trying to deal with a problem that was forced upon me last December, just like blinkered horses or ostriches.

Jumper, not posted in the LOCAL paper, the trick is to get it posted as far away as possible. Like if you live in canada, get it posted in say arkansas. Its not only aggravating, but the bill starts to get a tad large.

I have done the mailed carp trick. Definetly parcel post. Nothing like getting a 12 lb sucker in august.

lawn treatment would be chemical tresspass and lead to an investigation by the law.

For porn, go to the newsgroups and find everything you don't want to see.

Kenny, your right, I gotta start sending my 75 y/o Mom Fleurs more often. Good thing her birthday and Mom's day are so close together. <g>

theft

Monday night some @$$ hellos broke into my bucket truck and took all the saws,and blower. Thats 6 chainsaws, polesaw, and echo 650 blower. . I wish I would have seen them but it is best thing that I didn't, because that would have been messy for the chipper . Well at least now all of my saws are new, all at the same time .The only thing they left was climbing gear rope,smeared finger prints, and three different sets of foot prints. Ill never look at peoples shoes the same.

Sorry to hear that, I think? Would be nice to get new saws, but I'm sure it was a pain!

Stealing a man's tools really should be punishable by death! Yeah, I believe it would be a deterrant.-Esp. for he perp who was executed.

Death has never been a deterrant. Most think "no that will never happen to me. I will not get caught." If you don't believe that just look at all the accidents that occur from inexperienced people doing tree work.

Tim, No punishment will deter everyone. The possibility of severe consequences WILL deter some. The administration of capitol punishment permanently deters the recipient from repeat offenses.

Just fab some toolboxes from 3" steel, then go the the locksmith and have him hook you up with some locks and hinges from a vault....

Awe shucks can't wee just say that they were trying to starve ya by stealing your saw, threaten your life by taking your lifeline?

Therefore you had to defend your life?

What if someone stole your gear from your truck and on the way home you could have rescued another of the brethren that found themselves aerielly compromised?????

What if the same gear was stolen off an emergency mountain rescue truck?

i think that anyone caught stealing you should explain these things too like a screaming drill seargeant, demanding answers. If they flinch, they probably mean you harm; they already show total disregard for other people. Unless you might have yelled too loud, so the lesson should continue in braille; or something if it is an important one!

Sorry, thieves take my lil'hyper active butt from 0-60 pretty quick......
