    That sucks! I really hate to hear these stories about good people getting ripped off. It’s really getting old.

    I will keep my eyes and ear open. You might want to watch websites in surrounding states too. They might be smart enough to drive a distance before unloading the stolen goods.

    I have a feeling they are getting busted. You cant move that much/kind of product in our outdoor community without it getting noticed. Sorry to hear it happened.

    I doubt that they are so stupid to try to sell around there. Bet they are long gone to another state far away from there. People are getting bolder everyday. Have an apple tree in the front yard most likely over 100 years old. Is loaded every year. And people pull in and just start ot pick on their own in broad day lite.

    The problems is, there are enough dirtbags who will look the other way to get a cheap ice house.

    Most people that are dumb enough to steel will be dumb enough to try to cell it around here. I hope they get caught. I hate thefts of all kinds but when it’s from individuals or small business’ you are really hurting them.

    Yeah, I see that a lot on job sites. Recently, we built a new construction City Hall/jailing facility. Thieves came in and stole the copper and some tools.

    Who would consider you a alibi? I would say “accomplice” not alibi.

    And then brag about what a deal they got. Its a great deal until the police come knocking on your door and take it away.
