REGARDING:
” that’s why we lock our homes at night. To keep the honest people out.”
Not to slow down the dishonest long enough to be sure the barrel is clear before discharging?
David for double barrels
don’t do drugs, kids
At the end of the day. GO GET A JOB. IF I LEAVE ANYTHING ON MY PROPERTY THAT DOESNT GIVE ANYONE THE RIGHT TO GET BORED AND DECISE TO TAKE IT. THAT PART
“Locks are for honest people ”
Absolutely…….. that’s why we lock our homes at night. To keep the honest people out.
Other accommodations for the not as honest folks.
A lock is only respected by honest people.
REGARDING:
“FIRST all the trucks and compartments should have been locked.”
and
“lock the stuff up’
Please note: “Carroll entered the Town of Century’s secured and fenced shop property on Alger Road,”
So, they WERE locked up at the time, but every barrier can be gone over, under, around, or through. Maybe we might consider giving him at least SOME of the blame/credit for what he seems to have chosen to have done. (Not that a 100 ton vault wouldn’t be a bit more secure, but that there should be some limits.)

Can’t people read it said (from a secured fence in lot. )
It is not the workers fault, My parents taught me, if it does not belong to you, don’t mess with it.
If you leave something unlocked, some scumbag will come out from under a rock to steal things. Whomever left the place wide open needs to be responsible or find another job he or she can do.
The workers at that facility have a responsibility to the citizens and taxpayers in the town of Century to safeguard the property that actually belong to those residents. Shame they have so little regard for the public.
Oh, yeah…hooray for meth. (That’s sarcasm, BTW.)
FIRST all the trucks and compartments should have been locked.
SECOND all he had to do was ask for a 30 year loan.
lock the stuff up. no telling how much stuff has been stolen over time.
