    At my wife’s work, the thieves pulled up and acted like they were blowing leaves with a loud as gas blower, cut off 3 in the employee parking lot.


    I caught a guy breaking into people's cars by just going up to every car in a parking lot and trying the doors. I was just sitting in my car waiting until a store was open so I had a lot of time to sit and stare.

    He was wearing a hard hat, carrying a clipboard, and a Starbucks cup. Trying to open every single car in the parking lot, until he made eye contact with me, then he took off.

    I think the hard hat, clipboard and starbucks cup really worked. What homeless drug addict is gonna look like that? Nah that's obviously someone who wouldn't break into people's cars. Someone to ignore in my peripheral vision.

      stuff like this irritates me. idk if i'm wrong but my take has always been: if you're gonna steal (hell ya do it), go to a rich neighborhood or inside walmart. leave us general working class proles alone.

      Once some guys stole a big-ass statue in Copenhagen and loaded it on a truck and sold it as scrap. Nobody batted an eyelid as they were wearing work clothes and looked like they were supposed to remove the statue.

        Once in Morecambe bay people sawed the statue of Eric Morecambe off at the leg in broad daylight in the same way (leaving just a foot and his lower left leg on the pedestal) and presumably melted down the statue and sold the metal

      The leaf blower stuff is actually quite smart from the thieves

      Still feel bad for the workers whose catalytic converters got stolen

        I'm surprised I've never even heard about a scene in a movie or tv episode with a leaf blower. It's a perfect sort of distraction and misdirection - besides being noisy as fuck.

          I guess it's a bit bulky to carry around and it would be difficult to explain why leaf blowers are present in certain situations plot wise.
