Thieves

**Cruzi** · 16th September 2007, 08:04 PM

Live in a tiny town, so never have got used to locking everything up.

Been making a mantle clock with the skeleton insert, more correctly, made it last week, been Estapoling it all week at the rate of a coat a day.

Gave it a coat this morning, and went upstairs to watch Sandown, went down about an hour into the race and the clock was gone

A check of the shed showed nothing else appears to be stolen, also have a good idea where it went, but lacking proof, nothing can be done.

If it was a random thief a lot more items that were laying around would have also gone.

Pretty sad to say that I now know that no-one can be trusted and will lock everything up even if just going upstairs

Sorry to hear that, you shouldn't have to live behind locked doors in a country town.

And it had only had a fresh coat an hour before? That sucks. Mongrels.

At least if you can retrieve it the cops should have no problems taking fingerprints...

In a glass half full kinda way at least you can take this as a compliment to your fine woodwork

but seriously- that sucks.

I live in suburbia and leave my projects to dry in the driveway, never had one stolen (Though my driveway is a little more "challenging" than most)

That sucks, but as hansp77 says, at least you can take comfort that someone liked your work

. Sounds like you might need to investigate the local pawn shop

I reckon its someone local thats been watching the work progress and now its about done to the opportunity to rip you off

sadly this is not so uncommon in small country towns as it once was... but me I reckon someones been watching and waiting

May the ticks of a thousand camels nestle in their crotch

NO SERIOUSLY!!! Mongrel bastards

Now this makes me realise that I haven't seen our house keys for over 10 years. But I always know where the car keys are.....In the car!

Aint that the truth Noel, we started renting this place 4 years ago, its over 80 years old the agents gave us keys to both doors and we've never used them or found them again after we moved in. But the truck,ute and wagon all have the keys in all the time which proves a bugga when comming to the big smoke. Take the bl***y keys out & lock the dam thing. Last time car was in major shopping centre 3 hours unlocked and keys in ignition. Think rather know somebody was looking after us that day.
