Jan 2014

but I rememer a story about a guy who had a landscaping/lawn maintenance business. He would park his trailer with his equipment in his driveway. The teens acroos the street were taking the gas can and filling their car, but the guy never caught them in the act. The guy decided to do something abkut it. A couple days later he sees the teens trying to start their car, but without success. He put some sugar in that gas can and let them steal it.
