Stupid Thieves

I thought I had written about another break-in but going back I guess I didn't. New Year's Day or a day or two after The Hubby went to the office to do a little office work. While there he heard a disturbance out front and went to investigate on the computer with our cameras. He discovered that it was just the neighborhood kids skate boarding on the parking. What he also discovered was that the back two cameras had been tilted upward, to the sky. He hurriedly went out back to find that the rail car containers that we use as storage sheds had been broken into. The fool proof locks had been absolutely broken in two. A little bit of copper wire was missing, a cement mixer (that belonged to one of our guys) and some junk was missing. The south gates were locked, at least they looked locked. The south gate had the padlock on it but was obviously broken also but reattached. He went to the master computer and found the day the thieves were there. They came during the day and scoped the place out and took a long piece of conduit and pushed the cameras up. Then they came back that night, broke the gate lock and the containers and stole from us. CRETANS! We have police reports, pictures of the vehicle and even pictures of the guys. This morning B was here and The Hubby had her print the pictures off for us to have for reference. She called me about 9:30 in a panic because she was here by herself and the red truck was back scoping the place out AGAIN! CRETANS!!!!! She was terrified. She said that The Hubby was in a meeting and had asked not to be disturbed. I told her to call our shop guy who was at our new building and that I would be on my way. I arrived and she had to leave for a meeting at her "other" job. Shortly after that our shop guy came in (she did not call him) and I told him what had transpired and showed him the pictures of the red truck. Later that night when they came back.

The shop guy took it all in and then had to leave to take some stuff to the new shop, in our truck that has a logo on it. As he was sitting at the stop light he noticed the truck turn and when the light changed he took off after it. It was the truck and when they saw him they took off like a shot. Now the numb nuts know we still have the idiots on camera. Absolute idiot stupid thieves. GET A JOB instead of stealing from hard working people! Can you tell I'm pretty pissed off right now!

What an exciting day I've had!

What an exciting day I've had. I ran a jillion errands this morning and finally arrived at the office around 10:30 to find The Hubby in the back storage closet. This storage closet also holds our security cameras that surround the building and inside. He was trying to find who possibly had gone dumpster diving in the dumpster because the stuff he put in the night before was out on the ground. What he found was a guy walking back to the back of the parking lot and then walking out of the gates with a huge roll of aluminum wire on his shoulder. We checked the front cameras and saw him get into a truck and take off. Boy, was The Hubby ticked off. So I was told to watch the cameras and then he locked the gates (the lot is also where the employees park their cars). I watched off and on all day long on my computer and then about 2:30 pm (The Hubby was gone) I heard a noise at the side of the building. I pulled up the cameras and saw a guy walking away from the dumpster WITH THE GATES STILL LOCKED. I yelled at "Ben" who is our estimator and he got up and ran and then I yelled "it's the same guy as this morning." I ran after "Ben" out the back door and he yelled at the guy who just tossed another roll of wire over the back fence. He hollered at the guy that he was on camera and then the guy jumped over a low area on the fence and ran around the front of the shop. I ran up front and out the front door to encounter a truck with two greasy guys sitting in it. Funny, the first truck was white or primer and the second truck was navy blue with a camper shell. I stood there with my hands on my hips and my nostrils flaring at the guys. The passenger was creepy with long black greasy hair. He yelled at the driver just as the guy from the lot ran around the corner and tried to jump in the camper shell back part. The truck started to take off and the idiot wire stealer stumbled off the back and yelled at the truck. They stopped and he threw himself in the truck and they peeled off. "Ben" yelled he had their license plate and as they drove by me I ran to the street and caught the license too. Just yesterday I took my camera out of my purse. If I had it still I could have taken a really good picture of the idiot passenger and then ran inside. What nerve these idiots. We had TWO company cars sitting out front and they had the stupid idea of robbing us in broad daylight. Of course we called the police and hopefully they will get caught. We surmise that they had to do it during the day so they could sell the wire and get money for their drug habit or beer for the weekend. Stupid guys, the price for aluminum is not that good compared to copper, which is INSIDE....STUPID BRAINLESS IDIOTS.
