That is some amazingly crazy stuff Dawg. (Irish Travelers).

There have been a few that roam in a van in the neighborhood once or twice a summer. If you leave your garage open, they pop in and grab what they can and take off. When confronted, they are almost always looking for their lost dog and saw it run in your garage.

Awgusta speaks the truth on the Travelers. Anyone who has spent time in Augusta/CSRA knows what the Travelers look like, and can spot then forever and a day away. It's a deeply incestuous community (literally), and they will bring in outsiders through arranged marriage to young girls so as to improve genetic diversity. They all look alike, too. Flashy, lots of money, and utterly despicable. They don't exist on paper. They all have the same names. Prosecution is impossible. They're ghosts.

They'd roll up I-20 on occasion to Columbia for dinner. Every once in a while, you'd see them around Columbiana mall area. But they didn't pull their scams around there- they just spent money at restaurants (or would complain for free food).

They're truly awful.

When we lived in New Mexico this was an epidemic 2 summers in a row. Almost everyone in our town had a good sized shop on their place full of ATVs and tractors and tools...stuff that is easy to run off with if one is so bent. Everyone was convinced it was meth heads doing it but there were also travelers operating in the area every summer....methheads steal stuff that can be sold within minutes for just a few dollars...they ain't stealing a 40 HP backhoe and trying to sell it.
