If there were a "that sucks" button for this thread, we'd nail it. Sorry to hear that happened, papadave. There is no excuse for stealing. I can't figure out the meaning of the propane can though?
I don't think I'm going to actually put any money into this, but my wife had a gooder idea....... I'm not going to shoot anyone over a little firewood either. After considering this all day, I plan to introduce myself and ask the new neighbors if they noticed anything peculiar this morning. Wife just told me that a fairly nearby community had their homecoming last night.......could have just been some kids out joyriding and grabbed a little wood for a fire. My brother used to come up here scouting hunting locations many moons ago, and went up TONS of 2- tracks.
I'll probably find the sign riddled with bullet holes. All I know, is that my plan to move almost 5 cords of firewood in one day ain't happenin'.
Yeah, that was what first caught my eye......it was between 2 stacks. Had to have been thrown there.......but WHY? They didn't mess with all the nice dry Oak or Pine, but the Maple was fairly easy pickins. If the intent was to steal firewood, they aren't very good at it. I could have done more than what they took in less than 5 minutes. I'm really thinking it wasn't the primary goal here. Prolly these 2 guys.......
... me thinks they prolly shoulda picked someone else to pizz off... in the meantime... looks like you'll be entertained for a while... hehehe...
This makes me angry....... I may have to make a trip out to your place Dave. Take out some pent up aggression on someone. ...
First one felt empty....yeah, I said first one. I found another one just behind the back stacks, which are only a couple feet from the tree line. Didn't pick it up yet, but I took a pic. Weird, just weird. Scotty, come on ovah, we'll kick some azz and take names. After my nap.
Ya know, I'm a pretty happy guy mosta the time. I like to find silver linings anymore, so this is entertainment now. Yeah....I like it. I think I'll be sittin' out there this evenin, with my big spotlight and Casper. Maybe I'll even take some with me.
A most reasoned response. I agree there's no need for flying lead over some wood. Well unless it became a regular thing, then some birdshot might start raining. Anyhow seeing as it's October maybe a couple scarecrows hanging from a tree close to the area with signs pinned to their chest proclaiming "Wood Rustlers" would be fun. Caution! I take no responsibility for any unintended results of my twisted bad ideas I'm just good at twisted bad ideas.
Probably just some stupid kids... Propane tank is a throwing me off. What's up with that? Might just take a sign or rope or wire off their entrance point. I can relate to the feeling of invasion though. We have some intense purple pigment at work, that you could put a few drops on a couple splits that would ruin their life for a few weeks. Transfers on everything, skin, face, clothes, hair, privates, car, parents house... and doesn't come off. Course you need to remember which splits you put it on... We would need pics of that too!
Yeah, some of those exploding paint (or whatever it is) bags banks have would be fun. Maybe throw together a coffin with a mannequin layin' inside, kinda like in "Unforgiven".
