Ladies and Gentlemen, I work with tow operators all the time. I guess I am lucky, because every one of them I work with is HONEST! These guys here are not going to charge you no $50 for pulling anything out of a ditch, and most of the time will not charge you for anything less than a 5 mile tow.

Back to the original topic.
I think most people can tell in a split second between a harmless old man waking you to unload and a crack head coming in to rob you.
That said, you should explain to him not to do that in the future. -
One look at me and NOBODY comes near my truck..
But it's one of my (few) complaints about May - no pets. Ain't nobody getting into my truck with 120 pounds of all-black American Tundra Shepherd Dog protecting his territory!
As it is.. I lock the door (usually), and I have any number of things to wield or throw from the bunk. AND I have a kick like a mule. -
I wish I could bring my dog. he's just cute as a button but he will mess a ##### up if he thinks they're gonna hurt one of his humans.
Still (and I lock my doors habitually to hedge against this crap anyway) but anyone nosing into my cab is asking to lose some fingers... my tire thumper's an old roofing hammer and I keep it nice and sharp in case I get stuck in the cold and need to chop some firewood. -
I have the best fail-safe anti-break-in device known to exist.
I've connected a recording to my super-sound system in the Big truck interior, and it's set to "PLAY" --- real loud, when the door is opened.
The recording is of a VERY loud passin' of gas.
Can I get away with saying far t?
How 'bout HUGE F ART?
The only view I've ever gotten of a would-be intruder, was an
a-hole and elbows........ Pumpin' & Runnin'
Away.
HuH?
Where did I get the recording?
Doesn't really matter where -----
ANY truck stop will do.
Although, y'all might be able to down-load some off the computer.
And, maybe a CB shop can install a modified flatulence roger-beep.
I'd recommend organic.
Avoid the pickled eggs.

OH!
That's ever present.
And my first line of offensive defense.
It takes a lot of determination just to get past that smell,
believe me.
Only the strong survive.
And come to wish they hadn't.
YeS!
YeS I yam
A baaadd man -------> *see illustration above ............................
Especially when y'all consider I save the best
for last ------
Which would be my full color, life-sized cardboard statue of
Janet Reno.
I used to keep her up front, seated in the jump seat.
But she's gittin' older now, so I keep her back in the
bunk area now-a-daze.
Now, we mostly just talk about the good ol' daze,
while waitin' for intruders to attempt to do their thang.
And playin' solitaire 'till dawn
with a deck of 51 ---
but we always roll the windows down before lighting up a
Camel (Wide), cigarette.
I reckon, when the windows are rolled up real tight, technically, we'd be considered a Haz-Mat load.
DANGEROUS
or
POISON
placards?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm
I forget now.
Best I look it up in the green book.
Bottomline, ..............................
I pity the fool who opens MY Big truck truck doors.
It could ruin 'em for life. :smt100:smt087
And make my day, or night. -
