I always smile when I think about how, the very night I hooked up a car alarm on my '72 Cutlass, someone tried to steal my battery (This was Phoenix, 1981). When it went off, I was sure it was just my friends messing with me since I had just installed the alarm, but someone else's battery was abandoned next to my car when the thief skedaddled!
Quoted from Coindork:when someone walks in with a box of them that have been cut out of a vehicle, there should be a requirement (if there isn’t already) where they have to fill out paperwork and give ID.
Thank goodness scrap metal dealers are all on the up and up!
How about when sleazeballs show up with "scrap" shiny new copper pipes obviously ripped off from construction sites?

Quoted from yzfguy:What an ignorant, uneducated thing to say. I have to say, these topics are sure polarizing. I have always enjoyed your sense of humor on here, and clearly you won't care what I think, but I just lost a ton of respect for you for furthering the divide.
Too bad you're one of the few who got to see it. Nothing worse than what others have said here, I think, just too far the other way. The whole thread should have never happened.
Please PM me regarding what you found so ignorant and uneducated. The last part, I imagine. Hyperbole is lost on some. I can quote it all back to you if you want, as it was saved in my mod notice. I really want to know what you found so offensive. (Not so "clearly," eh?)
I'm all for our fine men in blue.
A few bad eggs do get a very disproportionate amount of attention, it is true.
And yeah, I'm a big wuss who would never want a job where I faced danger every day, largely thanks to some of the laws they are expected to enforce.
It's just to blame it all on thieves is ignoring the root problem, poverty and the resulting desperation.
And the last part, which was probably what got me modded, was out of line, I'll admit. When a comedian says edgy things on stage, the necessary grain of salt is implied, but that luxury is not afforded to posting, and I'll be more careful here on out.
Thanks, yzfguy, hatchet buried. I should have read the room, what did I expect? I don't generally go around poking bears...
And it's not like people frequent pinball message boards in search of enlightenment! So it was a waste of time anyway!
Still, it wouldn't hurt some of us to research the history of policing in America. It ain't pretty.
Quoted from poppapin:Rich or poor, steeling is still a crime and should be enforced. Curious what was said that got you modded. Feel free to PM me.
I agree, if you mean enforced fairly. There’s the rub.
I think the over-the-top part was what yzfguy rather inaccurately paraphrased as
Quoted from yzfguy:they will rush in to shoot you if you don't fit a demographic.
