My parents are in the process of moving out into a rural area of the city where our family ranch is located. Anyhow, the other day we go to fill up our tractor with the onsite fuel storage tank to find it drizzle EMPTY. The first thing we suspect is some hillbilly %^$* can't afford to buy gas so he steals it from us.
Now just the other day the uncle received a message on his answering service saying that there is a kid, about 18, driving back and forth at night stealing gas from all the farmers. It's a lucky thing he lives in Canada otherwise he would be shot dead. The sad thing is, ever since our family has moved up to this area about 100 years ago, we have never locked the doors or done anything to prevent crime. We've been robbed once or twice before, but it is getting worse and worse. I don't think the crime rate will ever stop degrading. It was a tradgic hit to my parents knowing that anything they leave outside isn't safe anymore. Now they are really scared because they are building a new house out there and there is no way to lock up a construction site. I hope people that steal like this understand what they are doing and how badly it can affect people. There was over $600 worth of fuel in that tank that we now have to replace
I guess it's time to spend some money on a surveillence system
