For the most part I try to stay upbeat with an optimistic outlook on things and, in general, humanity. However, today I am not even trying to hide my disdain for a certain class of people. While we were away, in Florida, we had a few items come up missing. Granted, it was our fault for leaving them out, but let me just say that our house sits back on our property. No one just accidentally takes a stroll up our driveway. Nor, is anything sitting out in the open for people to just help themselves. The two table saws, 1 of which was brand new, were sitting underneath a work bench next to the barn. Neither of which can be seen from the road. Neither of which can be seen from our driveway. The work bench and the 2 table saws can, however, be seen from the property next to ours, if they walk up to the fence and have a "look-see". My nephew kept an eye on our place but he wasn't here 24/7 and I'm sure that it was obvious to those who were alert and probably without work. I also know that the door to our pump house was found open a few times, meaning someone was coming and going. It just pisses me right the fuck off that someone has this feeling of entitlement. We work hard for our money. We've both been laid off during this recession and we've managed to find our own way. I'm not saying that whoever stole our tools is obviously without work and has become a thief, but those who probably stole it have been known to be excluded from the reputable part of society. In other words, they are pathetic fucking jackasses!
I could go on but I'm going to save face and try to stop my ranting, for now. I would like to know what you think of this idea, though- I'm considering making a big poster regarding "A Thief Who Lives Amongst Us" and nailing it to the light pole at the beginning of our road. What are your thoughts?
People suck!
