Thieves suck.
The garbage I saw hanging out in front of the local market not long ago, this does not surprise me. Shitty none the less, and I'm sorry to hear, I hope the knife is found.Quote:

Sorry to hear that. Knives are so personal, especially the custom ones.
I'm no detective but I'd guess some pot head figured he could sell it and buy more pot.

Ned is a cool, unique little town, but I'm happy that I live outside of walking distance for the hippies. Every time I drive to/from town there's some sketchy looking dude with his thumb out. The transients...the summer squatters fucking up the forest...the drugs...shoplifting, etc....liberals are awesome. Feel the Bern!
Would you have a picture to post up so we can keep an look out for this on CL and other places?
Not mine. No pics that I have seen. Best description has been posted. More if I get it.Quote:

Now, the real dirt bag hippies are there. The vagrants are gathering in force. Many hippie camps of dozens of dirtbags are setting up their camps in the woods in the summer. Petty crime is bound to happen. Sucks. I remember when the Dam Liquor store was the only place to get some beer and the Pioneer Inn was the only bar. Grocery store was where the gas station is now. It was a tiny grocery store that had limited offerings. Was awesome as a kid to walk there with my dollar and load up on candy. The good ol days..... and I'm only 48yrs old.
I still ride my motorcycle there about every Friday when the weather is nice and tour around on the dirt roads. I had not been up to caribou in about 10 years. Simply blew my mind how many homes and roads there are on the way there now. Used to be just the main dirt road. Went from Nederland to the top, then turn right to access some jeep trails. A recluse of a man with a dog named Termite lived up over the top of the hill back when I was in college. Man did that guy have some stories. !!! Shared may a beer with him. Again, the good ol days.
When the weather is nice, drop me a line. The first beer, at the PI, is on me.Quote:
