Bad Neighborhood

And you thought you lived in a bad neighborhood.
I would think if you need to lock your vehicle to the electric pole with a big chain.
Now that must be a bad neighborhood.

Or someone went to extremes to jerk the exhaust out from under it, and they needed a new 8:00 20 tire and left the rim!!! Jim
 
Well, a friend of mine who lives in Ontario, California went home for lunch one noon. He parked his pickup in his driveway, locked it, and went in to eat lunch.

Came out 20 minutes later and the pickup was gone. They stole a locked pickup off of his driveway in broad daylight while he was in the house eating lunch.

And that's in a fairly decent neighborhood.
 
A trucker I used to know hauled meat out to NYC. Said you never stop for red light. They will have the padlock off your trailer doors and have half the load throwed out the back before the light turns green. Just slow down, look both ways and keep right on going.
 
For several years (1987>1991)I was a member of an on-call Ambulance volunteer service. One cold wintery night I received a call as to a Transport Truck had left the Highway, was situated precariously over a bank.
As I approached the Truck I could hear the sound of the driver from within the cab.
Now...there was a lot of activity at the rear of the Transport. YES, there were individuals removing cured HAMS, and other meats from with in...the driver was injured in the Cab.
I asked for the Ambulance to continue to the accident and bring POLICE.
In the heat of a battle no one has a loss for adrenalin...the vehicle speed off as soon as I mentioned I recognised them. I did not recognised them but I done what I had to do.
The Driver had lower limb injuries and survived.

John,
Obviously it's a bad neighborhood. Someone took the left rear tire.

Or the chain is a backup parking brake.
 
A company here will fire the drivers that deliver their cigarettes if they do not lock the doors to the truck immediately after removing boxes. If they take the delivery in the store and go back out without locking the doors cases are missing.
 
John : Are you still needing a JD 48" mower deck ? Everytime I go to the Akron Ohio craigslist and see one listed I think of you. Someone has one that is to be rebuilt. Started out at $500 and last time I see it was down to $ 400
I also saw a decent looking used one ,but not sure what it fits ? That one was at Maibach saw shop in Creston Ohio on Eby rd. He is in the phone book. He has lots of used lawn mower parts.
Maybe some Ohio Yter's might be traveling your way and could haul one down ?
 
back in 1961 my brother and his graduation class went to Chicago on there senior trip. small class of 15 kids. when they all got back the most thing they talked about was all the windows and doors had iron protecting things on them. Chicago doesn't seem to be any better but yes there are some parts of large cities you need not to go to. sad but true.
 
I heard the same thing about New Orleans at night - don't stop at red lights. If you shoot someone off your running board you don't stop unless you have 30-40 more rounds in your gun.
 
In the 1953(?) or so when my dad returned from Korea he was stationed in Chicago at one of the civil defense missile sites. He laughed about how they had one jeep with an M2 machine gun mounted in the back - it was used to haul payroll through the city.
 
They will still get in the trailer even if you do not stop. They will get right behind your back doors with some people on the hood and do the same thing while you are going down the street. BTDT.
 
Flying back to St. Louis from one of the schools my company sent me to I was talking to the passenger next to me whose company was transferring him to north Saint Louis, and he was wondering what it was like there. I told him the main thing to do was not to cause trouble and you would probably get by. I then asked him what his job was in Chicago, and he said he was the tail gunner on a beer truck.
 
I had a friend who used to grow a lot of watermelons and cantaloupes. He sold most of them right off the farm, but occasionally would haul some to Washington, D.C. The "local wildlife" would climb on the back of the truck at the first light, as soon as they crossed the bridge. My friend's nephew couldn't stand the thought of someone stealing something that he worked so hard to raise. When they got home from the first load, he sharpened a corn knife to a razor edge. Second trip was a different story! He got in the back of the truck before they crossed the bridge, and every time a hand came over the top of the truck side, down came the knife! His uncle was scared to death, but said he looked and couldn't find any extra fingers! By the fourth trip, the word had spread! They gave them truck some funny looks, but nobody tried to climb aboard!
