Thieves Among Us

[flagone]

None taken. I was only speaking about what I know as facts about the safe theft and that alone.

Heres the link from Dod:..One of the fishiest parts was the 800lb safe was stolen by 2 possibly 3 men. Maybe not, but that seems a little impossible in the middle of the night! That thing was awful heavy!

These guys went to prison over this deal. The safe was found at one of their houses and had been cut open with a torch. As I recall the guy that cut it open was the one that ended up blowing the whistle on the 2 main guys. I get that it sounds a little unbelievable but it happened. I was there and saw the safe there and the next morning it was gone. I remember Dan Schlieper saying he heard something around 4 am but didn't look out figuring it was just some of the campers or other racers. He was parked closest to the building about 50 yards away.

A little different deal. At Cecil County Dragway in MD punks would come through the woods and steal things from rigs while guys and crew were out in the staging lanes.

i was running a super race this past summer and someone got in my truck and stole all the cash i had in my wallet while we were on the track for the feature. Also, a few years ago corey lajoie had a helmet stolen out of his car, the helmet popped up on ebay for sale about a year later so i text my buddy that had painted it originally and they ended up busting the guy for all kinds of stolen property

Wanna have some fun.......buy you a wallet , stuff it full of some business cards and random crap and stick it on the dash , leave your truck unlocked and then watch what happens next from a spot they won't see you.

To really make it interesting and almost a certainty that the trap will be sprung.........park beside someone or some team you know to be sketchy.

It's a cool way to trick or treat year around.

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

Lived in appartment complex near Rockford when i was yonger. Had afew things mising from my car over a short period of time. Had my suspisions as to who did it so one day knowing this pos smoked Marlboro... I bought a fresh pack and laid it on the dash. Sure nuff, the scum bag walked out of his apt while me upstairs looking out watched him help himself to the smokes. Went down to his appartment knocked and asked for a cigerette. He kindly obliged then I asked if he posably had a socket set that I could use to work on my motorcycle. He looked at my like he seen a gohst then went and got the set I was missing. I opened it and pulled an 18mm socket from the case that had my initials on it. I told him to give me the other sht he took from me or I would call to pd. He obliged.

Funny story and how they stupid to let you use your own tools.

Yes Clayton a few years back while I was helping on track someone dropped more than a handful of small hardware down my carb . As soon as I started the engine I knew something was screwed up. Found most of the hardware in the cone mufflers. I was pretty darn broke at that time too it was devistating.
