[QUOTE="Harmon, post: 2679819, member: 24357"] Sorry to hear about your materials lose, it sucks that people can't get a clue about "what's mine is not yours." Funny story- when I was an apprentice I was working for HEE on a doctor's office, I lowered my Skil saw off the roof at the end of the day with the cord, then went down the ladder to the second floor, down the stairs, outside and- my saw was gone? What the hell? Couple weeks later I am working on another job- same company, when a guy walks up to me and offers to sell me a Skil saw for twenty five bucks (normally about 150 at the time). "Nah, thanks I don't buy stolen tools," I told him, but looked at the saw aways and noticed that it was my skill saw all cleaned up with the company's name scratched off. "Hay, that's my Skil, you stole that off our job on Romie Lane," I informed him. He quickly set down the saw saying- "you know I have another tool you might be interested in, its in my truck." He was so gone. :D I have seen plumbers put in copper pipe all week and come back on Monday to find that someone has gone through and cut it all out, taking all the wire too. My favorite theft was one one where they used our fork lift to load a half dozen Knack boxes. The boxes were found a few miles away cut open with all the tools missing. That sort of stuff happens all the time. [/QUOTE]
