The assholes got away with about $5000 worth of tools and construction equipment.
Our dog didn't do shit to deter them, a full-grown Rottweiller nonetheless. I really just feel like shit and hope the insurance covers most of the stuff stolen The guys had been investigating the tool shed for a couple of days because I was finding things in different places. Some of the things they took, all the hammers, screwdrivers in buckets. A $500 Bosch hammer drill, about 3 $100 hammer drills, a commercial power pressure cleaner, a $300 pnuematic nailgun, and anything else in the shed with a box and a handle... |
|
Did you reinforce your shed or add other security after finding things moved prior to the theft?
|
|
Maybe because the Rotweiller knew the theives? |
|
|
You ever heard the blues song "Why Don't My Dog Bark When You Come Around"? Either your dog is a total puss or he knew them. |
|
First, shoot that fucking dog. A dog that won't protect his home is worthless.

Im sorry but I think a Rotweiller is one of the most intimidating dogs around. I agree with you that he knew them. BTW... I also think that anyone who steals tools should have his hands cut off. |

My dog is a puss, shes old and just lays around all day. We are going to install a very simple trip alarm today with some fire alarms I have. Figure we could spook them if they try to come back, later we are going to weld some sort of lock, like the circular ones on vending machines. |

|
Who fucking cares? They took his shit... |
|
|
Hope the cops do something, when my car was stolen, cops said they really couldnt do anything
|
|
Theres a big difference. |

|
Well no one lived in the tool shed, so i guess it would be burglarized. |
|||
|
|
|
|
Nobody held a gun to his head...so he was burglarized.
Just as bad if you ask me. They should have thier hands cut off as was said before. I think that would be very effective deterent. |
|
Needless to say their chopstick eatin' days would be over. |
|
|
Unless the guy starts stealing donuts We are almost done wiring in a trip type magnetic switch with 2 very powerful sirens that belch out at least 100 decibels of ugly sound. We are going to close the door but leave it unlocked (with the alarm on), I'll keep you guys posted if the bastards return. |

Feel for you dude. Someone stole my 5x8 utility trailer from the farm last weekend. I hate thieves.
|
|
Big market in stolen hand tools. Very few serial numbers, lots of folks who'll buy used hand tools no questions asked because buying quality tools new is so expensive. Sorry to hear of your loss. Hope you manage to get something close to a decent payment, but its doubtful.
|
|
Rest asure its some one you know. Think of some one your know who would steel and you have your man.
|
|
bait a trap for them and see if they do it again...It would suck if it was someone you know.
Mount a helmet cam on the dog. |
|
You should have shot the fuckers the first time around. |

+1 on watching the pawn shops....
We've lost a lot of rental equipment over the years, and alot of it shows up at the local crack (Cash) Converters pawn shop. |
|
Yep, it has also been a recent trend in my neighborhood to steal from construction sites and the homes near them. We are also in the process of building a house, so that just made us feel even more like crap. We bought some infrared sensors and have all the tools on lock-down now. |
|
|
I'm gonna get a shed put in this year...I gotta run a line out to it with power and a connection to the home security system.
|
|
You should have gone to General Quarters then. They actually gave you a heads up. Live and learn. Sorry for your loss. |
|

|
If it had been me I would've needed new carpeting after drawing down and putting a couple of rounds in him, both from him bleeding and me pissing myself. |
|
|
This was personal tools, not work related. Only me my dad and brother are working on the house. The tool shed was on MY home's property, my dad bought the tools himself. We have insurance to reimburse for the stolen stuff, but you still feel violated when you get your stuff stolen. |

This is why I pay these guys (in beer) to lurk in the bushes around my house four days a week. The fun is in someone trying to figure out WHICH four days they're there.

Fixed it for yah. |

Dogs who know the perps don't do you any good. In fact depending on the neighborhood, even "mean and nasty" dogs might not be your friends. They could be everybodies friends. Back when Trader Joes Markets was a single market named Pronto and it had a meat and deli counter. Which sold sandwiches. There was a tool rental lot about half a block away, where the "guard" dogs learned that by being friendly they could often score a bite of a sandwhich off passer-bys
One night it got cleaned out. They found the dogs, fat, dumb and happy with a bunch of sandwich wrappers around. |
|
Except they've got $5000 worth of tools to cut the locks off. Most dogs are rather simple to remove, really simple, despite what you might read on the Internet. |
|
|
Give the dogs some food every time you case the place and they are your friend.
I would CALL the local pawn shops with the list of goods NOW. Then when the guys do come in to sell it they might help you out with identifying them by video footage etc etc. |
|
What is your address? |
|
|
Yeah, I ain't too big on fuckin' thieves either.............but shootin' them sure is fun On a serious note - I really hope that your insurance covers it. Thieves are one of the lowest life forms on earth IMO. |

With one of the tools he stole. Some bastard stole my compound miter saw a few weeks back, and I could think of a real good use for it if he was ever caught. |
|
|
you should put a spring loaded bat at about crotch level in the doorway
