Great work! That'll teach 'em.
That's great news and getting their pitures is just icing on the cake!
I stopped by to check out the Tod Engine on Wednesday but nobody was around, It's the thrid time I tried. No big deal, I'll try again next time I'm in the neighborhood.
Rick,
Great job, isn't the punishment the cutting off of one hand?
You know, a few weeks ago, someone was messing around with the trackhoe but nothing seemed to be missing, the beast cranked right up the other day.
Also, I like to know where the thief lived, if he was from that area?
Great job, Rick.
Rick,
Was reading the posts on the Machinist site message board...
CONGRATULATIONS on catching that mother F***er !!
LOL........ummm........sorry........
Now all you need to do is wait until he is convicted, and then plaster his
photo all over the place - after all, it becomes public record once it goes
to trial - and he won't be able to sue you for libel or slander if it's the truth,
besides, he deserves to have his face known as that of a thief, wherever he
goes !
If you have power at the Tod Engine site, setup a computer and some
web cams... black and white cameras can "see" in VERY low light
conditions, versus color ones...
With a used (but working) computer, some webcams, and an internet
connection you would be able to monitor the site 24 hours a day,
365 days a year - from anywhere on the planet.
