    That's so f****d up! Sad story.
    I had my car windows smashed in once and got a Laptop, a Bag with some Gear etc. stolen - all in all around + -2.000,- plus the car window etc.
    And some a**holes stole my brothers truck in front of his house.
    That's why I am so paranoid about leaving gear in my car and always put it out and back in and out and back in - hate it. :mad:

    Vehicle theft has been out of hand here in the last year, and the police won't even bother to do anything about it, very frustrating

    This is why I like to carve/etch my initials on my tools, power and hand tools. If they're ever stolen check the pawn shops, if they're there they have a record of who pawned them to give to the police.

    I have my name all over my tools, problem here is that unless each tool is specifically laid out in the report it won't come up on the police check system. Hence my frustration with no report

    When the truck of my brother was stolen, my brother almost had to pay a ticket from a radar trap.... But he could proof that he isn't the guy with the black hoodie in the car driving out of the country.... No chance to get anything back.
    Oh forgot... The Camper of my dad was stolen too, a few years ago... and when they were in holidays they got robbed while sleeping (thieves use gas to keep people inside the campers sleeping....). This sh*t got out of hand everywhere.

    That's why you go check the pawn shops yourself.

    spartan armor systems ar550 level iii+ 10"x12" with the triple curve and full coat.

    ar650 level iii+ 10"x13" backpack insert.

    [​IMG]


    the backpack insert still fits inside the goruck bullet 10l with the chinook medical ifak...i'll probably enclose the insert with some kind of cardboard sleeve or foam to raise it to a proper location on my torso.

    Funny thing Bushy....when the Doc was prescribing me the antibiotics she did say that she apologised if the girls at the pharmacy looked at me funny as the only other thing she would prescribe this dose at for this duration was in fact an STD !! I do however (post my CT today) have tangible proof that I DO have a brain !!!

    Got 2 sets of Carhartt insulated bibs and a water resistant Carhartt hoodie for $200 today. Yay Black Friday! Also ordered a JAmerica hockey lace up hoodie as a sample for the business. If I like it I’m gonna order a dozen of them to have printed.
