Came close to punching out a junk collector...

Wow - that just dishonest....you are a scum bag.

 

"After beating him up, you call the police and have the guy hauled out in cuffs, a police report taken"

And when you explain that "he was really annoying me with his questions, so I beat him up":
Guess who goes to jail?
Guess who gets sued?
Guess whose insurance doesn't cover civil suits for assault?
Guess who sells his house to pay his lawyer?

Yeah, the internet, where everyone is Clint Eastwood...

 

Haven't you ever watched The Shield? What works for Vic Mackey will probably work for you too.

 

A few Hamb'ers know I live in a very secluded area. A dead end road, with a long gravel dead end driveway. I found a scrapper out here one day after being gone for a few days. They were actually loading up as I pulled in, and I blocked them in. After pulling my trusty friend and pointing it, they gave up how they found me.............GOOGLE EARTH!!!!! No shit. They said they knew roughly where I lived, and got on google earth and found an address close enough to me that they looked around it to find me. After a few warning shots, cops called, and all.............I got everything back.

 

Looking at your garage, I'd like to kick his ass too.

 

lol my garage is a bit of a mess because that storm Fay pushed on my crappy shed hard enough to nearly tip it over. I have a lot of stuff from that shed in my garage now until I can either fix my old shed or get a new one.

 

on the up and up? whats your definition of up and up i might ask?
thats an asshole move right there, not only cause its illegal(not that i give a shit about laws) but because its dishonest and a fucked up thing to do.

i hope your not still a dick

 

it appears he still is , bragging on the fact that hes a con man makes him a lowlife fuck from where im sittin..

 

This has been a problem in my area for years.

I had a scrapper stop by a while back who wanted all of the junk in the field next to me.

I explained to him that the junk is all the things that remain after the house and garage that was there burned down.

The people who call that mess their home are armed and crazy.

They have a travel trailer and tar paper shack in the middle of that mess now because we have no zoning here.

I would leave it alone if I were you.

He did not heed my warning and chose to steal some crap late at night.

I saw him do it and talked to Larry, Darrel, and his other brother Darrel about it next time I saw them in their yard.

They said that they knew exactly who he is and where he lives.

They piled into their plow truck with their tree pruning knives and shotguns and took off.

I have not seen the either parties since and I am the better for it.

I don't care much for my unfortunate neighbors, but I still respect and look out for their property and I believe that they would do the same for me.

 

i'm suprised i haven't had any one stop by my house asking about my buick yet. it's sitting outside, don't have a garage. with the doors all smashed in it probley looks great to all the scrapers in the area. i also have my 73 comet sitting next to it and it hasn't moved in like 6 months. i think they come durring the day when i'm not home. it really has been bothering me that all these people do is look for scrap metal to make a living to me it's like they don't want to work and are a drag on society. i've taken things to the scrap yard before, for work and we had like 6 motors we needed to get rid of. and there always seems to be at least 15 to 20 beat up trucks trying to make a quick buck really doing nothing. some of the things i've seen them scraping makes you know that they were stolen.

 

I meet the little mexican family with a smile, they bring me cool shit, anyone I don't know I meet them with my ol' 45

 

And your proud of tha? r

 

We don't have junk collectors in these parts...I guess the freeway shootings are paying off for something other than fodder for the evening news.

 

Thing is... even though this guy was a royal POS for doing this kind of stuff, by putting the town's letterhead on it she/he was committing fraud using a 'device', which is a big no-no.

 

He wasn't a junk collector, he wanted your rides!!

 

shoot one and the rest will learn to fear . i've had those gys sneaking around our back garage and had to scare em off. they steal motors from the dealership i work at and have even taken parts cages full of trannys and parts.

 

No kidding. My aunt had a yardsale a couple weeks ago and the next weekend the 8" rear my uncle had next to the garage disappeared. Must have weighed 200lbs and is pretty much only worth the 20 bucks you'd get for scrap.

I just got back from a backpacking trip in southwestern Wyoming and every town in that corner of the state is strewn with old rusty machinery and parts. Doesn't seem to be any scrappers out there.

 

I live in Florida too,and owned a boneyard for twenty years.If I saw that Buick in a garage I'd offer $300 for it and it would go thru the crusher after the nailhead was pulled. that buick is a bad distraction when you have the TRI 5 thats next to it. A man who recognizes the buick knows what a dry hole it is.The guy is looking for junk,not selling your kid drugs.

 

wonder what the statute of limitations is on fraud, impersonating an official govt officer, or criminal misrepresentation by mail? those doctored letters were left in US Postal Service mailboxes.... that is a Federal crime.

whatever. there's a thing called KARMA and it is a bitch to those who deal underhandedly.

 

This is a major problem with people owning swimming pools.The offenders find a "prospect",watch the house and when the family leaves they party and leave the place in a shambles.It happened locally.
Cars,garages or pools-we have to be vigilante and stay two steps ahead of the ijjuts now!
Good luck to all of us!

 

wow that's messed up lying like that, good thing it Diddnt happen to me I go by judge colt and jury of 6, had some of scrappers stop by to get some of my motorcycles and my riding lawnmower at 2 am but they were met by a little piece of scrap metal I like to call AK-47
last of em I ever seen

 

Blood pressure rising. the nerve of that asshat.

 

I set a nice couch out for the Salvation Army to pick up in front of my shop in by the door, right before the scheduled time.
I hear some noise, and some illegal had taken a machete and cut the nice sofa bed couch apart and taken the metal out of it leaving the rest on the driveway!
I caught him trying to get away. What do you do. I grabbed him and make him clean up all the mess ( broken wood and cloth etc etc mangled sofa) and load it all into his little truck before he could leave.
The lame thing is that he destroyed a nice couch that someone could have used.

Then he drove down the street and kicked it out on the corner for someone else to pick up. Really tired of the shit people get away with today.-Weeks

Well Aussie boy, when we're looking for a new nuclear waste dump site and I have any say in the matter in the location, you know where it'll be. May the fleas of a thousand camels invade your armpits- Johnny Carson.[/QUOTE]


Hey Bob
If you read the rest of the post you will see that I,m not the only one that thinks you are a lying scumbag!!

 

Consider yourself lucky! My shop is not in the greatest part of town and the local thiefs, I mean junk collecters cut a hole in the fence to my storage yard one night and took 25 years worth of wheels,axles and sheet metal I was storing outside. This sucks because I can't replace this stuff and what did these jerks get but maybe a few hundred bucks in scrap weight!

 

And that my friends, is why I only open the garage when i need to weld.

 

Crap like this is rediculous, I can't stand a thief. Calling a person's project car scrap is an insult. It seems like tis guy was just an ass. If you don't want to sell something people need to stop. Me and my dad part out old cars and scrap them to make extra money. It is scumbags like these that make hard working scrap guys look bad.

 

No the guy is fucking stupid..... So when can I come and get them out of your way......

 

This thread is over a year old...
