Thieves at PDC Fairbury

[smoothoperator32]

Bill Schlieper had his toolbox stolen off of his 4 wheeler in the pits at Fairbury tonight! Please keep an eye out for it. Please let him know if anyone hears anything. Thanks!

In this day and age you have to keep everything locked up tighter than Fort Knox or have someone watching over things constantly.
Heck not long ago there was a news story about some dirt bag that over many years stole millions of $$$ in cash, jewelry, and other stuff from drivers and fans by following NASCAR, Indy Car, NHRA, etc all over the USA.

Not much worse than a thief!

[CIRF]

Thievery has become a way of life for a fairly large segment of the population, including some in the dirt racing community. It has become a cottage industry, of sorts, in all walks of life. Many in that industry believe it is their moral right, and yes, their duty to steal something that is not locked down simply because they feel they are without guilt. The thieves have been taught sometime in their lives that the ultimate guilt lies with the owner that failed to secure their belongings in such a way that thwart's such scum bags.

We'd all like to believe that all those involved in the sport we love so much are above being common thieves but as our group learned at Eldora over ten years ago, when you're at the racetrack thieves are among you and they're race fans, just like us.

At the MOWA show a couple weeks ago a FALS fire pit was stolen from a campsite. It was custom cut sheetmetal pit and would stand out if seen. Dont know if it has been recovered.

There is not a thing worst then a person that will not Work for what they steal....its like 18% of the cost of everything is for the people that will not work for it but take it... Its so Sad...

Fire pit that was stolen

Well we can't just shot 'em.

Yes it is sad Gary.

There inlies the problem, Blackie. There is little fear of consequences going beyond probation or some namby-pamby plea agreement. I'm not advocating turning things into the Wild West where they would hang a man for stealing a horse but owners should be given a little latitude in protecting their property. The scumbag thieves would thing twice, maybe even 3 times, if there was a distinct possibility of a 9 MM hollow point headed in their direction at around 1150' per second. But as you said, (gasp) we can't have that!!

That's a dam shame. It took well thought out skill to make that. Hope the m f er thet took it falls face first onto it branding it it across his/her face!

lol That would be justice. I'd seen the pictures of this stolen firepit before. I couldn't help but think "What is the thief going to do with this firepit? It's not like he could take it out in public and use it." Then again maybe he is that dumb.

Well we can't just shot 'em. We could sentence them to liteys/slipper sniffers house for a week and make them listen to that shT!

Yes it is sad Gary.

Why cant we just shot them....If we could a lot of it would stop....If I found one of them in my house they have a limp when i get done...

I remember back in the early 2000's when Bill Schlieper helped law enforcement catch a guy who was using fake cashier's checks to buy high money purchases. I'm thinking it was the DTWC at Atomic Speedway.

They come in your house you better shoot to kill. Because otherwise, decent chance they can sue your a$$. Because they can argue some stupid sh!t.

Fire pit that was stolen

I'd give them one chance to give me an honest answer on how they come across it. And if they are dishonest, as they already were, at the least I'd destroy that fuker in front of them. Or play dumb and steal it back that night, and leave them a nice little note.
