Wasn't sure where to put this, but I just came home to find my house broken into and my major/minor stolen along with a few other things that make it impossible to report to the authorities. :( The torch wasn't the target, the target was my lights and other equipment :cry: The torch was just caught in the crossfire from these thieving bastards :( Now I have to wait until I can get some more money to even get another torch.....This is just terrible :cry:
edit***
So if anyone in or around ohio gets any "too good to be true" offers on a major/minor or some gardening equipment, please let me know.

Sorry to hear that - I've had my entire shop stolen before, and it's not fun. Thieves are the lowest life form in my book. Hang in there, and I wish you the best of luck.

Yeah, that super sucks.
One good reason not to ever have anyone you know ever come over to your house, at all.

Im from the Dayton area. The thing is, nobody really knew I had any of that stuff. Im in the process of moving so I think it might have been someone that seen me moving stufff and figured I wasn't comming home last night or somethin. I really have no idea :cry:

that really sux bro. I just got robbed last month myself and they cleaned out my shop(everything but the kiln that was still hot). shop security is now a major factor to me. I have a rott/mastiff now, with 4 cameras, and everything is either bolted down or on quick connects so nothing stays in the shop at night and if they still try to get in i have them recorded on 3 different devices. VCR, DVD and hard drive. If you want any onfo on the camera set up (pretty good deal for what I got (all wireless with recievers etc.) hit me up. I'll share what i learned from this. Just remember, you never know who'll rob ya, so keep them shops private.

Wow. Sounds like you had a bad experience. Where in Ohio? I just have to put in my 2 cents on that, though, as I've got roots in Ohio. It's not a bad place at all. Actually, aside from some specific places, it's pretty nice. People are very friendly and a lot of their laws are actaully very liberal, especially considering they are in the middle of the country. Where else can you possess nearly a half pound of herb (aside from Medical Mar. states)and have it be a misdemeanor? The major Ohio drawback, though - it's geographically deficient.
Bruce, as I already told you in the PM's, hang in there. I'll help you out however I can.

Maestro, I have lived here all my life. But I keep a low profile, and don't get out all that much. Thats why I don't understand how anyone knew about any of the stuff :( I think it was just a random "lets check it out" and the bastards just got lucky...
[QUOTE=Maestro]
You must just be moving there cuz I dont know you...
Hope that sounds truthfull instead of cocky.

Maestro,
You don't know Bruce b/c he just started working glass.

sux that this happened
however, its better to get out of gardening sooner than later, especially if your gona work with glass
its better to have a theif come in and take it, than the legal theifs(govt) come in and take it, then make you pay all kinds of court fee's lawyer fee's, etc
theifs get NO RESPECT

I wasn't gardening anything illegal... When I said "and other things that make it impossible to report to authorities" I wasn't talking about anything that had to do with the lights. I was just simply stating that there are certain reasons I can't report it to the authorities.

I just got f*ing robbed this morning. Everyone here has probably been robbed, so I won't bore you with the details, but they took all of my cash and finished product. What was really great is that some of the product, was still over 600 degrees when it was stollen from the annealer. I can't figure out how they pulled that off. They didn't even use my tongs??? Some tweaker around hear has some nasty looking hands today.
Peace
shit man, that sucks. i hope he burned his fucking hands off. make sure all of your friends know locally so when the glass turns up you hear about it. maybe you should post pics of similar pieces in case anybody here lives in your area.
i got hit the summer before last, it really tripped my head because i have a family to protect. i suggest pit-bull power, makes me sleep better.

Sorry to hear about that but it doesn't pay to walk up to the owners wife with your dick in one hand and ten bucks in the other. When you know she charges twenty.

Mate you should still get your head checked over though. If you have a blood clot in there one day it might not pass through a tiny brain vein and then it's Goodnight Irene.
Go see the Doc, just in case. I would.

bruce,
I have some stuff i bought from a local crackhead a few months back. Stolen for sure, but No one has claimed it - through this board, or the local state police, If you need something to work with until you can replace your stuff, hit me up. I'd be more than happy to ship whatever you can use, and you can return it when you've replaced your own equip.

Guard dogs are a must not very many people will even attempt to fuck with a pissed dog, a dog will straight fuck your shit up if he doesn't like you, I guess that is why I have two just encase they are able to stop one there is no way they are getting the other one.

While I cant offer the world to help ya out.. I might be ableto hook ya up with an equivalent sized torch If you are needing to get back on the torch.. Had two tweakers come into our warehouse in austin..They werent the blowers that were there .. It was friends of a blower.. they picke d a good night :( We DID recover them tho.. I almost threw up.. I feel your pain.. offer a reward to some scandalous individuals.. usually that will uncover some stuff.. Hit me up on a pm if ya need some assistance.. Im sure Im not the only one capable of helping but Ill do what I can.

and get a dog ! a BIG DOG.. prolly would leave the gardening jazz out of the story tho just for personal protection..

gaurd dogs not a bad idea. except if someone poisions them, which wouldnt be hard to get a dog to eat some hamburger. i do have gun and know martial arts a lil. the woodchipper is great to have. i dont have one, but i used to prune trees and have access to an 18 inch chipper, huge. all u need is a 10 inch chipper to send a body thru whole, prolly. the 18 would chew up a body in a second, no prob.

Yes you can train a guard dog to only eat food that you give it. The rotties im looking at are guarenteed to keep atacking after a non fatal gunshot. Allways better to have two, incase the first shot is lethal. Sucks to be robbed. Sorry to hear.
My alarm only costs 125 instalation, and 12 a month, and i have motion dectector, and when the alarm goes off the police are called. I don't like cops, but its a hell of a lot better to have them show up than have an alarm go off in the ghetto, nobody cares.

woohoo, in 3 weeks i will have the ultimate in home protection!!!
a buddy of mine is finally selling me his M79!!! i have wanted it for years and he called me finally and offered it to me!!!
if someone poisened my dogs and i found them, they would DIE!
i am a bit of an antisocial, and my dogs are better then most people.
i too know martial arts but havent practiced it in more then 12 years, i also know that the best kung foo in the world will not stop my .45 at 10 paces LOL

Unless someone is pretty stupid they won't fuck with my house...
I have a 140 lb Great Dane puppy who stands on the couch looking out the window, barking at anyone who even stops in front of the house. He has full reign over the whole house and yard... In public he's super sweet and well behaved, except he doesn't like guys, and he really doesn't like guys in his house.
I don't worry about much any more...
