Last try to post - I've been burglered

A house I am remodeling was broken into yesterday. All my tools are gone, including a Super Sawzall. Coincidence?

Do I really need to explain this purchase?

I think not. Perhaps the good doctor is not so good after all. I expect that the investigating deputy will be contacting him soon . . .

One of my cars was broken into last night or the night before as well.

Frigging thieves... they better hope that I do not ever catch them.

Wonder if Moses was in Phoenix as well? Did he really need an old hammer and 5 gallon bucket of interior latex that was sitting in the back?

Was helping the wife fold laundry. Found some underwear that were not mine.

Had "Ark Master" written in marker on the band.

Hmmm,

um, sorry man. I'll pay you back in a few days. I've got this deal coming through and I needed some working capital. Shouldn't be more than a week.

Hey, can I borrow your passport?

Hey Moses, let me know how the "Compressor, two nail guns, 12' miter saw, skil saw and drill, router" work out when they arrive, it took me a while to locate the "new" packaging for those items so I shipped them later

You guys are funny futher muckers. AND you are all suspects, as is every single person I see. AND I expected Moses to deny culpability, which is the first sign of guilt.

Burnin', I can vouch for Moses...there's no way that he'd break one of those "Nine Commandments" that he carries around on those tablets. I am sorry that you were ripped off, but are you going to replace the stolen items soon...like in the next couple of days? I may have to change my plans for the weekend...

Marcus,

Thanks for the two nail guns. Really appreciate it and will use them around the house! A few scratches but all in all well worth having!

Joe

It's kinda like "whoever denied it, supplied it."

My garage has been broken into twice since we've lived in our house and the cops said the local meth/crack heads steal the tools and fence them or sell them to local construction guys in the same day. I lost all of my crappy Dewalt tools...

Do you have any pictures of the 12 foot miter saw? That's a rare animal.
