When the pile is big enough to be worth stealing, it's too big to steal. :smack:

I think the whole thing is more trouble than it is worth.

You could sell them to the government at face value because it would be cheaper for them than making new ones... win - win. ;)

Um... you realize his post is 12 years old, right? ;)

BigV 01-16-2016 04:57 PM

yes, the main reason I miss him. I don't see his name pop up often, it did, I remembered him, noted as such.
