Just discovered missing:

a) FIVE "Basket weave" Lincoln Rims including one with a tire mounted
(I run these rims on my Aerostar)
b)Three "twisted star" early Explorer rims
c)FIVE Five Spoke Bronco2 rims (One of them had the
matching spare for my big trailer mounted on it)

and (drum roll please) a complete drum-to-drum Aerostar axle

It musta been a Real SOB to move.

Next people to go trapsing around in the woods behind my house better have GREAT medical coverage because tomorrow morning I'm stringing barbed wire ankle high everywhere and I'm gonna smear it with stuff you really don't want to get into a penetrating wound. (Fresh human dung "flavored" with
commercially pure Nicotine Sulfate)

If that doesn't work I know quite a few other nasty tricks.

I'm convinced it's someone local and probably a teenager,
because there's lots of other stuff that wasn't touched.

Aluminum radiators, tubing diamond plate, Essentially stuff not
as desireable for quick cash as aluminum wheels.

The aluminum wheels were pretty close to the house, but easily "portable"

the axle was way out in back behind the shed, I just can't imagine why someone would take it, it was an awful lot of work to move it through the woods for it's (MABEY) $25 scrap value.

I'm most pissed about the wheels with mounted tires, as one of them was a BRAND NEW tire that matches the BFG (long trails) tires on the Aerostar
and the Firestone wilderness AT tire that was on the bronco2 wheel
(what I run on my trailer) mystifies me...
there were four magnesium Saab rims down near where the axle was

Hmmmm...maybe bear traps would work better for you...or is trapping humans illegal in your area?

Or how about a drop cage that would allow you to poke them with a sharp stick any time you wanted to hear them squeal...

I had some kids break into the place I'm at now after only a few months of moving in...they didn't take anything but a few coins (a Flying Crane coin that looks like a Canadian Looney) and messed up the place a bit and left all the doors open...

I was kinda hoping I would catch them because I know tortures that haven't even been considered by the military...I would sing Karaoke to them for hours on end until their eyes bled and they would grasp at their necks and try to choke themselves to death...but I would only allow their hands to reach far enough to keep them contorting themselves until they collapsed in a heap of misery so deep that they would think three times about breaking into someone's home again...and then I would set them loose and watch them be productive members of society...

Mwa...mwa....mwahahhahahahahahahaha...
 
Well if your state has the right laws..

Put some goats in the back yard, and call 'em livestock.

Then you can shoot any trespasses on your property without warning saying that they were endangering your livestock. :icon_thumby:
 
theves dont come around for seconds!

i had my stereo and my wrestling ring stole out of my truck. the minute i found out. i camped inside my other car that was parked directly behind my truck with my 38 super locked and loaded. i was in that parking structure all nite and noone ever came. they left my amp and subs behind so i thought theyd come back to get em later in the nite but luckily for them, they didnt.

sorry to hear some jacked ur shyza. somehow, some way....justice will prevail.

I believe that too...they will probably sell them to get drugs and then OD on some bad crack...

that makes me feel great now! i really hope these fcukers die. nothing i hate more than a thief.
 
As much as I don't like the idea of someone ripping someone else (or me) off, I know that it is best to just wish them all the best...and let the rest happen as it does...
 
If anyone can design a morally and legally "grey-area" anti-theft device then it would be AllanD. It is my guess that within a week anything living within a 50 mile radius will know to stay away from his property. What worries me is that the barbed wire idea may leave alot of dead animals laying around after a while.

Sorry to hear that man, nothing sucks more than getting ripped off.

Outta curiosity, what's Nicotine Sulfate (and it's use)? Never heard of it.
 
how about checking out your local yard an see if the "goods" show'd up their. or at least let them know your missing a bunch of alum wheels
 
Nicotine sulfate is a nasty organic poison and it is hideously toxic. Just a little will kill a large animal and is fairly easily adsorbed through the skin. Might consider throwing a few nail strips around the yard as well. Just remember where you put them!!!:rolleyes:

I figured it was something like that. I know nicotine itself, in high concentrations, is fairly toxic. Kinda like hydrogen peroxide: the diluted stuff in the stores stings a little, and apparently bleaches hair (while reducing IQ!:tease:), but I've heard horror stories of what the highly concentrated stuff can do.:bad:
