Dave H (MI) The rest of the story is this is the 3rd incident. 1st time they didn't get caught, 2nd they apologized and left. 3rd time they got beligerent and wouldn't leave. Previously I lost a hog trap. It was a rusty old looking piece of junk. I'm sure they mistook it for scrap. It was not, it worked great. It will be expensive to replace.

I have a whole network of local LEGAL folks that I PAY to help me clean this all up and I GIVE those folks the scrap. I don't have to worry about them on my place and nothing ever disappears after they've been around.

Next door single mom has been broke into 3 x's in the last year, the last time she was home and ran them off with a gun.

The thing that threw me with all of this is that I felt like I ended up being the bad guy. After all they are just picking up junk. It is helping me. That's a heck of a way to make a living I'll bet they couln't pull $50 worth of scrap out of there in a days time and there was 5 of them. I can appreciate that.

BUT

Any one that is willing to come into this country ILEGALLY wouldn't have any qualms comeing on to my property, or yours, and helping themselves to anything they want. After all they are just picking up your junk.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea ... [Read Article]
