I had some steal the nut from the bottom of the trailer hitch ball when I parked between the union and lsu.

It was more confusing than anything.

Know it was on there because I locked the trailer hitch when leaving.

Guilty of this circa 87-88.
they made for good pretend street-fight weapons b/c they make cool noise when you swing them.

They were effective for clearing tall weeds on trails in the woods until you hit a few big limbs/weeds.

Someone broke into my work van years ago and stole my GPS unit and change, but left at least $3,000 in power tools. I guess they were respecting the working man.

Stealing that many power tools is a little too close to work for the type of person who would break into a car.

Thieves need to be beaten with a claw hammer.

In HS, I had an old 1972 Chevelle 4 door with maypop tires on it, because I didn't have the extra money to put good tires on it. Anyway, the car was parked in the backyard with a flat, I jacked it up, took the tire off and brought it to a local garage to get a used tire put on it. When I got back, the jack was gone, but whoever took it, put a cinder block underneath the back axle to prop up the car.

I had a pair of lawn mowing shoes stolen from the backseat of my Jeep. They tried to take the stereo unsuccessfully. I guess they needed something for their time. They cut the plastic window and ripped the dash out, but only stole my lawn mowing shoes.

The porch floor off my hunting shack. They carried the deck boards at least 200 yards to the road and saved every deck screw too.

EDA: At least it gave me a chance to clean up under there.

A classmate stole my pizza lunchable from my bag in elementary school.

One teacher didn't allow us to bring our backpacks in the classroom so we left them in the hallway every day. My classmate "went to the bathroom" and stole it then.

He lied about it, ate it, then told the truth.

Had the same thing happen to me at a launch in Port Sulphur. Somehow we made it all the way back to BR without the boat and trailer popping out of the hitch. Only noticed when we disconnected the trailer at home. The launch we used was a secret at the time and we think some local yocal was pissed we were launching and fishing "his spot."

Also had someone rifle through my truck one night and take a USB charging cable.

I used to workout a lot and often used an ab-wheel several times a day in my office. Some young engineers thought this was goofy.

So one of them stole it and then, when I sent a building-wide email to our plant area, someone put a bagel with a hot dog through it by my door the next morning.

I sent a Plant-wide email that pissed off managers and it showed up for real the next day.

CSB. a fricking Ab-wheel.




So an engineer thought it was goofy? I'm sure that engineer does a few things that other people thing are even more goofy.

My friend use to deliver pizzas around LSU in college. He would scope out places with empty keg shells laying around out kids apartments. We would steal the empty keg shells because Raj and Tigerland Market would give us a full Natty Light keg for three empties. If this happened to you from 2003-2005 or so, sorry.

A couple of weeks ago someone took the latch off the cast iron gate in front of my house. They were kind enough to leave 2 couch cushions in exchange.

In front of our house in the French Quarter when we were working on it:

A non-working radio from my husbands Triumph, and then they moved four sacks of concrete mix around under the hatch back looking for the speakers which weren't there when we bought the car.

And they took a metal can of brake fluid that was in the kind of slim brown paper bag that was used to wrap single beers. Hope they drank it.

After the flood, I had a large pile of salvageable items piled up under my carport. Against the wall was the piece of wood that was once the top of my wife's dresser. The rest of the dresser was swollen beyond repair so I figured I'd have the top turned into a commemorative table of some kind. Someone stole that piece of wood. Didn't touch the tools, clothes, ice chests, camping gear....just the worthless (to them) scrap piece of furniture.
