About 2 weeks ago someone came into my BACK YARD and STOLE the GLASS GLOBES off my 50's gas pumps. One was Sinclair Aircraft the other Sinclair DINO - both were slightly unusual as they had GLASS BODIES instead of those cheap CAPCO Plastic bodies you usually see 99% of the time.
Same night my buddy Stan had his Lawn Jockey stolen as well (he's 6 miles away from me). His CAST IRON Jockey was set in 180lbs of concrete - they took EVERYTHING while Stan slept 15 feet away. Never woke him (not surprising) or the DOG (very surprising).
Anyways I just heard that someone also STOLE the Visible gas pump over at OK CAR WASH on Vine St. I think the pump may have been repop, but I'm not sure.
I also heard someone broke into Walkers Hardware and robbed them as well. All of this has happened in the last month or so.
Personally I greatly under estimated their audacity going into my backyard - I never would have guessed it. I have since replaced the globes - mostly since it pissed me off to look over at them with the globes missing. I have rigged up some surprises for the next jackalope that may come into my yard - I still want to add in some "game cameras" to capture their dumbass faces - I just don't know what brand to get - I am of course looking for the best bang for my buck - any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Tonight I spent the evening sweating my &^^%$ off anchoring my visible to the concrete - plus a little extra there as well
So anyways - let this be a warning - I have talked to guys at work who had their houses broken into as well - lots of lights and motion sensors didn't help when they do it at 11:30 in the morning!!!
I am also looking to add some laser beams as well - no reason anyone has to be back there so I might as well go overboard.
Done venting!! THERE I feel a teeny tiny bit better!!
