Quoted from Bud:I am sick and tired of thieves. They are everywhere and not a single jurisdiction/community in America does much about it. I would like it if thieves got one hand cut off for the first offense. One would have to be truly desperate to gamble a limb.
Not to derail this thread, but in my life I’ve had 2 vehicles stolen, a new enclosed trailer full of construction material, an outside air conditioning unit, copper gutters, firearms, computers, tools and bikes. None of this even counts the money from deals being made that never made me whole.
Just the other day, someone crawled under my truck in my driveway and cut off the catalytic converter. Just got my truck out of the shop and it was $900. I’m sure the thief got $50-100 for the stolen part.
Rant over, I’m just absolutely fed up with thieves.
Dang, you’re in Idaho? That sounds exactly like this f-ed up place (CA). I guess I had a misguided perception that Idaho would be a place without all that nonsense. I guess like you said, it’s the whole damn USA. Man we suck.
It probably didn’t hit everyone’s news, but just the other morning the local PD chased a car speeding out of a neighborhood and they ended up like this. And lo and behold the car was full of cut off catalytic converters. And a saw. They are probably out free today I assume.
