It's that time of the year again... (thieves)

[Irving]

My landlord was pretty pissed about it and offered to help, but I don't think it is really worth it. I think she does a decent job otherwise with the place, and wouldn't want someone worse than her. I think her being a total bitch really helps her keep the other shitty neighbors in check.

What pissed me off is that it wasn't just a single unit motion detector. They are battery powered and signal a battery powered, hand held unit. There are three of them, and they are supposed to be used for hunting. You set them up in a triangle and which ever one is triggered, shows up on it's corresponding light on the receiver unit so you know which side the game is coming in. It was some start up company and the guy was selling the whole deal for an introductory price of only $25. I have no idea how to find the product again, or how much it would be to replace now.

I've said it before and I'll say it again I hate HOAs. Mines isn't as bad as stu's, but just the principle of the matter.

Power hungry bullies really irk me in a major way.

Easy revenge idea I might have know someone to employ in the past on people who have earned the reward. --- Take some lunchmeat and put it in a plastic baggie outside in the sun for 2-3 days. Wipe the slime that forms on the underside of door handles for car, house etc.
Nice thing is there is no way to ID the slime, attach you to it or know what the heck is going on. And its super nasty but not damaging as well.

This time of year is horrible for stupid people doing dumb shit. I can't believe half the crap that happens. I live on a street lined with townhouses. The set next to us is notorious for having low life scum because the owner of the complex rents to anyone who will pay his fees. Usually illegals or fellons, no one stays in it for very long because they go to jail, or get deported. This last month 6 places on my strip have already been broken into. I am friends with a few of the sheriffs so they let me in on what they know in my area. It'm glad my wife supports my gun habbits and even participates. At least I know if I am not there and something happens, she knows what she is doin. She doesn't like my 45's, so we ordered her a Walther PK380. Whoever is doin the B&E's better watch their asses...

Stuart, I'd be pissed if I were you. That is your personal stuff and even an HOA can't, or shouldn't be able to touch your belongings without at least giving you a warning. I like most of the ideas the other have given you, a nice flaming bag of shit tossed, I like tossed, at the door sounds good . No seiously though, you should call the head of the hoa and make them do something about that. That is BS and you shouldn't have to deal with it.

The best part is that she doesn't even live here. She is very quick to point out how much work it is and how she gets paid $0 for it. Oh well, I'm mostly over it. Except I get pissed when ever I see her now. On my way out today I saw her, right after making my last post.

The guys that she actually had take my thing down are cool though. I talked to them about it, and they straight up told me that she told them "Take that down!" She didn't even bother to take down the mounting bracket either. It was held in with 1 screw that took 2.7 turns of a screw driver for me to take down. That's what made me the most mad. I took down the one on my back porch too because I didn't want that one stolen as well; even though it was up for like another 8 months without being touched.

Whole milk poured in the fresh air inlet/ vent of the car heater.

Not that I would know why

So, back to the OP....

I understand that Colo Spr has also been experiencing a higher-than-normal amount of home invasions/burglaries.

No one ever visits my home except my daughter and my sons girlfriend. They know to announce themselves loudly before coming in (I've got my daughter calling when she's on her way now because I had a dream that I accidentally shot her thinking she was a burgler when she showd up in the middle of the night -- again, it was just a dream. But now she calls ahead to ensure it doesn't happen for real!).

Last year, I got up to investigate a noise I thought I heard. I was carrying my gun in my hand, with it pointed toward the floor. I was walking down the hall and stopped next to my dryer. The dryer was apparently between cycles because as I was standing next to it, it suddenly started going again and gave me quite a start. I was proud of myself for not shooting my foot off or something.

Yikes! I think I would send an email, then call, then use a bullhorn to announce my presence and then drop straight to my belly crawl as soon as I rang the doorbell!

Those training wheels slow Ginsue down quite a bit
Good to see you posting Ranger
