Okay so your cows or horses are hungry and you have no money because of the christmas season so you decide to steal some hay, find hay stack with bales piled in two layers pull top bale down into back of pickup NOT knowing bales weigh a ton. Repeat with second pickup . One pickup has busted rear window smashed cab. Second pickup has frame and rear end problems and breaks down on side of road. Cops involved, thousands in damage, $100 for the hay go figure.Just had to laugh as did all the cops . If I would have known that that people that did this owned the pickup I would have burned my hay bale where it sat which was still in back of broken pickup. was very tempted Paul
 
wow. I think that's about all i can get out at the moment. Geez what next. How do some people even reproduce?? Fred
 
Sounds like some guys in our county. Since I bale my straw in small squares I have to serial number all of them to keep track, just like guns.

Dissolve 1 cup of sugar in a gallon of gasoline and add it to their pickup. Also let air out of 2 tires by loosening the valve stems. Tom
 
Those folks clearly are entitled to a federal "bale out." Not their fault they are unemployed and unable to feed the animals they bought or stole.We need to give them some money and a free lawyer.
 
Actually, Paul, I do mark my small bales for ID purposes.... Each year I change the code so I know what year they were produced.
 
Reminds me of a time I went camping. The guys two sites over were too cheap to buy campfire wood, so they decided to wait until 4:eek:o in the morning to steal it. Backed the truck up to the pile and filled it up. When they went to get back in, they found that the doors had locked on exit. The truck set by the wood pile with the doors locked, engine running, radio blasting, and the spare keys 100 miles away, and then they didn't even have enough sense to unload the wood!!!!
 
just a note for the ones that believe in the sugar in the gas thing,....sugar will not desolve in gas...however will plug filters
 
That isn't how it works.

Ever see an apple pie over-boil in an oven? Same thing in engines. It's the heat that makes the mess.

The old fella here that we got our land from said back in the days of loose hay he caught a guy stealing hay.

Asked what he did about it? He gave him more hay. Knew the guy was barely feeding himself but wouldn't let his cattle starve. Gave him some older hay that he was saving for emergency. I think the fellow gave him one of the calves the next spring to repay him.
 
I have delt with tons of sugar in the gas issues in my shop. Must be lot of spitefull women around here . I have several reports from insurance companies about it also . Sugar does not dissolve in gas .It will however dissolve in water, so if there is any water in the bottom of your tank it makes a mess. It will plug up filters and tank socks . It will make it into the carburetor if it gets past filters . May or may not gum things up in there . it will get into injectors due to higher fuel pressures . I have yet to see any engine damage from it and the insurance reports state the same . We'd pull the tank , flush it with hot water, flush the fuel lines with hot water, clean the carb , or pull fuel rail and flush rail and injectors with hot water . Then we'd sell the victem a locking gas cap and tell them to stay away from angry women ! lol Now dumping sugar down the carb or in the oil may be a differant story , but I have not seen that .
 
If retribution is your game then leave the sugar at home for baking & try bleach...

Bleach acts as an oxidizer & as we all know, Rust never sleeps!

sounds like idiots, around here if the guy was really in a bind most people would have let him borrow a couple bales if they had just came to them and told them they couldnt feed their animals then they could have repayed the farmer for the hay later stealing it, well they got what was comming to them lol
 
Fer Sure,

In the oil is the best (worst) route. The engine will run just fine until it is shut down. cools off and the "syrup" hardens.

Then the engine will not start at best, to a total lock up at it's worst. Like I say, just like that spilled over pie in your wife's oven.

Everything is gummed up and cannot move.

And you are right, nothin' much is hurt; a complete disassemble and hot tank of all the inner parts will usually get 'er going again.

But hey! That's a lot of work and/or expense.

Sometimes justice works in mysterious ways...
I don't think you could have asked for a better outcome.
