Well, caught one of these criminals with a security camera while pretending not to be home (moved vehicles to neighbor’s house) trying to violate my property. Shot him in back with bird shot and didn’t even bother calling the ECSD. Needless to say, let this be a warning to anyone trying to be funny up in Century. We WILL SHOOT you and let the chips fall where they may. Good luck!
My daughter works at West Fl Hospital. Several years ago in the employee parking lot – thieves were removing and stealing brake lines from cars. Finally after a week, several employees were talking about their vehicles breaking down and security was called to investigate. An all day security person was placed in the lot. Never caught the thief.
(under one vehicle it was discovered that parts of a jack was left behind)
There’s some brazen folks in this world. People must tie down or secure everything they own.
If this is the guy that’s been stealing converters around town he’s made a lot of enemies.
I hear ya, seems like the junk yards would be suspicious of someone bringing in catalytic converters repeatedly, especially when the seller has no ties to a garage or anything like that.
Also investigate the junk yards that buy these cutoff converters.
