Smoker thief – all points bulletin. Get a rope

Postby Boots » Sun Jun 09, 2019 11:44 am

Almost nothing is lower than a thief. Should be made to crawl on his belly everywhere he goes.

Someone that

Lies to me.. Talks down to me...or steals from me...

I believe in karma and this guy that took this smoker is without a doubt just a random number away from it !

I hope they catch them. Here’s a thought; let’s all put in $10 that can spare it in the name of TBBQF

It is sad that thieves prey on society, but we have to accept personal responsibility as well, which seems like something foreign to a large segment of society today. A hitch lock and/or a wheel boot would have most likely prevented the theft. I use a hitch. Nothing will stop a determined criminal (except a bullet), but often deterrence makes them move on to an easier target.

Agree entirely. However, if you look at the video, they had a coupler lock on there that he defeated with bolt cutters.

This video actually made me take a hard look at the locks I have on my trailers. It looks like all of the locks that are under about $200 are easily defeatable. It's eye opening, really.

If my livelihood depended on it I’d have hitch and wheel locks on it. Doesn’t excuse what happened, just steps I’d take to protect my income. Hindsight’s 20/20 I guess. I hope they recover it, thieves suck.

I have both, plus an electronic gate to the property, plus a 120 lb. German shepherd named Tex. Come on over. :laughing7:
