Man, I hate to hear that. I have often left my tools out in the open and was curious if they would be there when I returned. I guess I've been lucky so far.

So sorry for your loss!

Why in the first place would you walk away with your tools out in plain daylight? And you said "AGAIN"

I have been ripped off years ago in the middle of the night from a locked bed cover. That was enough for me. My truck had an alarm installed. After the fact!
Everything was hauled in each night from that day.
Even now days even if I am working a lot and I have to walk away I will put the tools in the truck and lock it...

You live in CAL. of all places they watch everyone and wait for a 30 second opportunity.
My B-in-law lives in LA and is a mobile service tech, he works from the back of his hatch back, lives down with the {racial slur removed by moderator} as he calls them. Most leave him along but he does not trust them as far as he can spit.

We even built a steel frame box to hid his tools in when he has to walk in to customers house to do his jobs and all his extra tools and supplies are in his car...

With everyone out of a job, I do not trust anyone know days.


Sorry you did get hit, AGAIN. Hope they do not get you again. It is costing you a day or to or your income.

Really no place here for racial stuff here the B word is the same as the N word and with the Girlfriend being Mexican and the Mother of my children being African American I take offence to both
Back on the subject I have always been trusting and leave the box if im only a few feet away. 5 years of doing this I finaly paid the price was time to upgrade the injectors anyway but live and learn

As you read, it is not my wording, It is what he calls them.
I live with, work for and have friends of every color, If there is a color. I do not see it. Green is the only color that glows for me.

I was making a point with him living and working in an area were nothing is safe. Not even there life...

Someone who lives in Arizona knows that word is a severe racial slur so dont try to polish it over again no place for that stuff here and its says a lot about someone who does use those terms in todays society. We have come a long way since George Wallace lets try to stay professional and keep the childish biggotry to yourself
