Well, I just went into the garage and found that it was broken into last night at some point while I was sleeping, Theives stole my IR die grinder and Impact gun, My Lincoln 110 V wire feed welder, and my hunting frame pack that had 6 Steel Targets (AA targets style), brackets and straps in it. ie they carried off some HEAVY stuff, and didn't touch a few way more valuable and easy to carry things in the garage.
Well hopefully they drop the heavy things on their feet! Fuckers

I had a friend doing landscaping in Greeley lose his job trailer and Rhino to thieves in the last couple weeks. Took it right off of the jobsite. There's been a rash of thefts going on here on the western slope. The bank caught the thieves cashing checks at their counter on video but the cops wont do anything because they cant make out a check in their hand. Video of the suspects at the counter the very time the checks were cashed and that isn't enough evidence. Just bs.
You have to have alarm system, video surveillance and firearms these days.
Is it just me, or has the level and volume of thievery gone up since the legalization of recreational Marijuana?
I know the pain, they got me back in January, then a month and a half later tried to get in the truck in the middle of the night. It's a shitty feeling. It sucks but it could have always been worse. Just curious, how did they get it to the garage? After the break in at my house I started looking at other access points into the house and the cheap wood door jam from the back yard into the garage looked like it needed to be reinforced, and better locks and a bar installed.

It's just a kick in the nuts to know someone was in my garage while I was sleeping, and worse what would have happened/what I'd have done had I woken up and caught them.
And the knowledge that you can't shoot somebody just because they're stealing your stuff... you have to be in fear for your life or the lives of others.Quote:

I know they came in through the back access door to the garage, I either left it unlocked, or they jimmied it open somehow, I did have to fiddle with the bottom of the door jam to get it to close afterwards so I'm not certain how, although I tend to think I must have left it unlocked.Quote:

Big red flag to me is what they didn't take. There was a lot of stuff in there that was valuable that went untouched, yet they were fairly selective in what they did take. It's weird, but still makes me think, petty theft grab and go, they had to have had a vehicle parked in the alley though or they were highly motivated, that pack full of targets wasn't exactly light, neither is the welder.
they did the same thing at my place, left way more valuable bigger items and only took what they could carry without looking to obvious. They hit my house in the middle of the day.Quote:
