Dang mike your a bad man getting them back and all. But how are they you said the guy at the scrap yard remembered helping the guy kick them out of his truck did they literally just kick them out of the back of the truck and on to the ground? If so i hope they didnt do any damage to them if they did i think they should get the chair for hurting a 440 :-D:-D (what i'm not kidding) Justin
Well after a good meal and a couple cold ones I am happy to be home and feel like I can be my old self again.
Treva and brother Ken and his beautiful wife and I sat and had a good evening, My wife came up with a good idea! Put a sign up in the yard and say there is more in the house if you feel lucky this time, and put up a sign on the old door that said come on in and see what I have for the you this time.
Enter at your own risk. hehe.:-D
I am happy and just a bit:drunken:

Well that just sucks that you can't leave stuff on your own property. I'll be moving soon to the hood (signed a lease) and am thinking of rescuing a another Rottweiler. I had him put the new privacy fence between the paasenger door and service door of the garage so I can leave Maxi out and put a dog door in the passenger door so she can protect all my stuff.
It would be cool to have another Rott (Male) so she can have a buddy and then they could tag team any intruders.
Clean up might be a mess but I have a concrete floor in the garage, lol!

The scrap yards are as much to blame as the crackheads for stealing the stuff. I mean really. MANHOLE COVERS? They think the city was having a sell off on old covers and the public bought them all up? Greedy bastards should be strung up as well IF they buy the stuff (knowing full well this stuff is probably stolen), and not reporting it.
This is one reason all my stuff is indoors, out of sight. No windows. No way of knowing if my crazy gun-toting *** is in there or not.
Glad you got your stuff back Mike

Damn, what if someone falls or drives in a manhole!
No joke Sedan. I'm having the owner cover all garage windows from the inside with 3/4" plywood. I'll reinforce them with two 2x4 installed with #8 screws to the frame on each window.

We restored a 1956 Seagrave fire truck that has been in our department since it was new. The running boards were steel diamond plate. We took them to a powder coater to have coated, and he sandblasted them and left them outside. You know the rest of the story. Fo $40.00 of steel it cost us $3500.00 to have new running boards built. Around here they are stealing sprinkler backflow valves with the water still on! I agree, the scrapyards are as much to blame as the thieves, but some of the scrap is going to Mexico I have heard.
I agree, My motors was setting away from the big stackes of metal all alone.
I think some one that works there was going to take them home for a small price. You can see where some one rubed the grim off to read the speck #.
They was very nice and handed me a hard hat and walked me to the pile where he said the motor could be and the pile was over 25 feet tall.
But my eye cought them to my right away from the pile.
yep!! I think a motor man was ready to take them home.

glad to see you got your motors back! finally something turns out good. a couple months back some crack head around here tried to get the copper out of what he thought was a dead power cable. turns out it was live and he got the s#@%t shocked out of him! he ended up with nasty burns on his hands. people like that need to be put on an island all by themselves!

I've got lots of scrap around but it's all indoors, out of site. If someone was brave enough I'm sure my brother in law that lives on the property I keep it at wouldn't hesitate to use the thief as target practice.

good to see you got them back but that souldn't of happen in the first place.

Around here they have dismantled railroad crossings for the metal, and pulled up the copper wire that runs between the crossings.

In the past at my machine shop anything bronze , aluminum , or stainless had to be stored inside , now anything that can be picked up has to be kept inside. Thieves suck!
true. :clock: things are not the way they should be.
A man was killed in the next county north of me just 3 months ago doing that. it was all over the news.
I like the island idea.:-D and let them deal with people like there self.

The problem I see is the vast majority of the workers working at scrap recyclers are about 1 point below moron. A good friend of mine opened a scrap yard about 4yrs. ago and he's making a killing. In the 4 yrs. he's been open the only worker that is consistent in showing up has an i.q. in the single digits and afraid of his own shadow so much that Terry has to keep getting on to him to ask people for i.d. It's a law here now that if the scrap brought in is worth over $50 they have to show a license or i.d. If the cops come in and find a ticket for over $50 and there is no i.d. Terry (the owner) gets a ticket.
He's had all kinds of stuff come in including a brass cross from a church.
Hard to believe people are brave enough to steel from God! I'd be afraid I'd get struck by lightening.

It's unbelievable how stealing metal has become so widespread and almost an epidemic. I heard a couple months back down in St.Louis somebody ripped apart the central air system at a church for scrap. It cost the church $50,000 to get a new system installed. Another one I heard was a 250,000 ft. warehouse was empty and up for sale and it was on the outskirts of town and some guys went in and stripped every bit of copper wiring and water pipe out of the place. The cops figured it had to take several nights with quite a few guys with several trucks to do that much work.
Dang, Mike, if it isn't one thing, it's another. First, some yahoo steals your Valiant, now this. Check this out:
DALLAS A man who climbed to the top of a utility pole Friday in an effort to steal copper was jolted by a high-voltage wire and burned over 50 percent of his body, officials said.
It took rescue workers more than an hour to free the badly injured man and take him down a fire truck's extended ladder. Live TV coverage showed 51-year-old James Buster McKay's shirt in tatters, his jeans mostly burned away from his body. His skin looked red, and he appeared to be in extreme pain.
Serves him right.
Salvage yards are starting to take action against thieves. Some are requiring proof of ownership, driver's licenses, vehicle tags, and waiting period of a few days to return to pick up a bank check. It's about time, but everybody has to do it for it to be a deterrent to thieves.

Its rampant everywhere, and its been that way forever. Its just someplaces are better than others. My dad passed in 1960 and my mother moved us from the farmplace back with her parents. Someone came with a truck and unloaded the house-furniture, tv, pots, pans, dishes, beds, linen, kids toys, some rifles. Never did catch any one for that. ***-----!! Stealin from a widowed single mom.

Around 1985 I worked at a Body Shop and I had some wheels stolen from a truck I was rebuilding. They had some identifying marks on them so I kept looking for them. Almost six mths later I saw them on a pickup and called the police with the license #. I still get a good feeling knowing that I caught that SOB.
Over the last few years I've had my family cars broken into and not found out who did that tho.
I'm a fan of Joe Arpaio, Tuffest Sheriff in America, Phoenix, AZ. Home of tent city prision out in the AZ desert.
