Thieves at work...

You all know that I am running the shuttle from Lancaster to Prescott AR every afternoon. I share a daycab with a driver that runs the morning route. I had a trailer tire blow out near Texarkana the other night which made for a longer than normal shift. My relay driver was cool with it, but we both knew we would be late getting back to our terminals.

I got back to Lancaster at about 0330 and after fueling, dropping off the bad tire, running the truck through the wash, and finishing all macros, locked the doors to the unit at about 0400. By the time the slip seat driver got there just before 0600, some nimrod putz of an arse stole all 3 batteries from the truck.

For the most part I am a pretty even tempered guy. One ex planner and DM might disagree with that, oh, and a few fast food counter workers have seen my temper too. But, to this thief, I wish nothing but the worst of luck. I hope the batteries blow up in your face. I hope you drop one on your foot. I hope you are stupid enough to check the acid level by holding a match up to one of the vent tubes (if they even use those anymore).

I have no use for people that steal. It is my understanding that there may be video of this, I hope so and I hope the person(s) involved are caught and have their private parts clamped in a vise!

 

We don't swap at the TA, we go to the old Fina at the 46, unless some of the day guys use the TA.

 

Yep, in the yard. The shop was broken into about 2 months ago as well. Those guys are on video with copies of the stills posted in the lounge.
