<VV> Thievery Re: WINNER WEATHER... (in the Metroplex)

[shortle]

This is a different kind of thievery than I anticipated. Recently we had a large dumping of snow in SW Colorado, around 3 feet in 3 days. At the same time my snow plow truck trans quit working. I called a couple of people that advertise snow removal. My parking lot is not very big, it's about 1/2 an acre. I advised them all I can usually clean it myself with my plow truck in about 20-30 minutes. The conversation went something like "About 30 minutes? I could do it for $200". I was floored. I was hoping for about 50 or 60 bucks. I guess it's the American way. Oh by the way, thank God for good neighbors. Now I owe 1 of my neighbors who came over here a couple of times and spent about 30 minuts each time.

Looking forward to the coming spring weather and Iowa in June

If he can look inside your vehicle and SEE something he wants, you have a good chance of "losing" it.  Some high end radios even have a nondescript facia that flips down to conceal the $$$ unit underneath.  I still stuff things under the seat or simply hide them under shopping flyer papers.
