    Probably needed to use the generators to power the welder needed to weld up the broken Speedway dropped front axle.

    These thieves WILL be caught, when they're apprehended stealing gas to use in their stolen HF generators. I buy the 9 dollar angle grinders, and thoroughly abuse them; why do they even ask if you want the "extended warranty" on a 9 dollar tool? Use them, abuse them, break them, then throw them away. I bought 3 the last time they had them on sale, and the first one is still going strong. One of them I swapped the disc out to a circular saw blade, made a long handle, and use it to remove tree limbs. It's dangerous, but effective. I wonder what OSHA would do if they saw my Frankenstein tree limber?

    In a previous life I was responsible for buying tools for work. One day the boss asked why I was buying tools from Harbor Freight. I explained that 1) nobody is stealing them and 2) if someone "modifies" a tool we weren't out anything.
    Good job, carry on.

    Ha Ha, Nah, not profiling, they keep the rent cost down. Ive got 3 around me and they choose half filled strip malls on main roads. 1 of them is sketchy, daylight trips for me. No need for a fancy location to sell tools, I buy plenty of stuff there, and avoid plenty too.
