smile, you’re on my shit list
they’ll probably steal my sign
My neighbor Kal gives me old water heaters when he pulls them out of a house for a remodel. Two or three a month, sometimes more if his friend drops some off. Saves them the dump fee and I stick them in the bushes alongside my house that is the scrap pile. When enough builds up I take it to the metal yard and cash it in. Problem is, lately someone’s been stealing my metal.
After my latest victory with taggers, I’ve decided instead of electrifying the pile of junk in the bushes with 220v, I’ll do it legal. I’m posting the “No Trespassing” sign, and I am monitoring the area with a CCTV. I’ll turn the VHS tape of the thief over to the Police and sue the guy in civil court. They took four water heaters from me this month! I am working towards justice.
let’s hope they steal in the day when I can see their faces
deputy deerskin, I am pulling for you,,,, not on the skin though…………….

Why not put the tanks inside the fence. Like in your back yard??

There’s a short flight of steps I don’t want to contend with. People know enough not to dig up my bushes. They ought to know not to crawl behind them and take pipes from there.

I was thinking the same thing, mom.
It’s two steps, bud. You are an old man.
Oh, and you live in the city. Leave your keys in the truck, maybe people will know enough not to take it.

put the bee hives in the bushes. Actually, I like the idea of running some current through one of those tanks. That’ll learn ‘em. Tough though, with all of those kids walking by. You’d have to get up early to shut it down before they walk to school in the morning.
