    I get that, but how do we know they are thieves? It was an interesting video to watch. But after that it just seems like a lot of prying and speculation.

    The older I get, the less concern I have for what other people do unless it affects me directly. All this "greater good" stuff is not going to put fuel in my tank or food on my table.

    That's pretty bad; ripping off the shipper and the customer.

    I've seen HHG trucks do that a few times. They charge by the pound.

    So I guess you'll understand if your neighbor observes people stealing stuff out of your garage while you're away, but chooses not to tell you, because it's not his stuff so why should they get involved. Again, these sorts of attitudes are what Karma likes to capitalize on. Good luck.

    Years ago, I watched the spud haulers do a neat little trick. They would pull onto the scale loaded with their wife or girlfriend in the trk.
    They then would unld and weigh out mty with the lady out of the trk..
    Ok some were large ladies some avg. size. The scale one week kept track of the weights, then the following week said all people must be in the trks. when weighing in and out... They were just the weighing service. the spuds were stored at a different company. They figured that little scam out real quick, as the guys were paid by the ton rate.. It added up over a period of time
