Title: Fuel theft
Post by: TAB on December 23, 2021, 03:10:38 PM
Had some one steal about 200 gallons of off road diesel last night.

Called to fill a police report, and had a detective show up about 45 mins later.  Turns out it is pretty wide spread right now and they were very interested in my job site camera video.    Got a real nice video of the guys face, but he covered his plate with a towl/ rag. 
We know his make, model, color and type of truck, I was even able to id the transfer he had in the bed of his truck. Rds72855.  I know because I just bought one not too long ago.

I hope they catch the sob

Tab, I wish you and the cops the best of luck finding the thief. 

Stealing fuel is almost akin to horse thieves in the old west, and they received either a lead or rope punishment when caught. 

That's too much to hope for nowadays.  Unless he tries to shoot one of the cops.  That might make for a merrier Christmas.

My state is constitutional carry, every one of my guys and most of my subs have a gun on them pretty much all the time.   I have at least one on me always and an ar in the truck at the very least.  Hell right now I have 6 weapons on my person, 1911, colt cobra, 4" folder, razor knife, claw hammer and my bow.  Taking a break and putting some arrows on target.  It is great to focus on something else for a bit.

    don't have much choice storm coming tonight lol.  Otherwise I would be out there working this weekend.  The faster I get done the faster I can finish the project.   

The misses is already missing my cooking.    I told her, if she is not going to retire so we can do things toegther, than neither  will I.  She has 26 years left lol.  I did tell her if she does we are buying a motor home and traveling to find the place I want to live.  Which will either be in the south or further north.  Its not that I don't like the state, I just want to move to a small town somewhere.
