    No, it wasn't loaded, just sitting in the corner of a dirt lot, but still.

    Oh I agree, it don't matter where it was, it's wrong period.
    I had a bum climb into one of the 2 backhoes I was hauling...got called into a scale 2 states over and asked why m,y co-driver wasn't wearing his seatbelt?
    I was totally confused, then he pointed out the window at the back machine.
    I was flabbergasted!
    He was both;
    Arrested
    And pissed off, cause he was now 2 large Midwestern states further north in November...and homeless!

    I'd like to really know what you'd do if you caught him doing this with your equipment.

    You know as well as I that equipment is rarely locked, and most in the industry have keys to every brand anyway. It's just kind of a code that you don't mess with other people's stuff unless it's an emergency.

    Then this egghead goes to filming it like it's an amusement park ride.

    I tend to be too nice, or soft, or whatever you want to call it in many situations, but when something crosses my internal line I tend to go overboard the other way. This crossed that line.

    Who goes and dicks around in somebody else's equipment and films it, and then puts it on the internet? Talk about self incriminating if somebody were to graffiti it up or something.

    You’re a massive tool dude! It’s a wonder you’re not pooping microchips.

    Exactly. It's the kind of behavior you'd expect from a grammar school kid, not a grown man.
    Most of our Cat skinners have their machine assigned to them and it's rare that anybody else ever uses it. They get possessive of them and I don't see anything wrong with that.
    I asked a couple of them what they'd do if they caught some pilgrim with a camera strapped to his head screwing around with their machine. The answers were identical...but I can't post them here withour having to ban myself. :rolleyes:
