A big site with an expensive project (for example, a new apartment complex, business park, etc) can sometimes support some sort of security guard/lights/fence - you just allow for it in your bids (common practice in some metro areas). That's cost-prohibitive for a small project, and for those it's much cheaper to just have a theft insurance policy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-74967597158410648502008-06-14T09:55:00.000-05:002008-06-14T09:55:00.000-05:0012:12 AMStandard padlock--Master brand.

I believe everything Chief talks about on here three times plus per week, is linked to the spike in drug use in our city. I've lived here all my life. Citizens are both trusting and trustworthy. A small group of people are ruining it for the rest of us. If we see something suspicious, report it to the police immediately. That is really the best way to PREVENT crime rather than solve it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-37738852256314542392008-06-10T11:53:00.000-05:002008-06-10T11:53:00.000-05:00They typically just say that they 'bought' the tra...They typically just say that they 'bought' the trailer from a guy named _______ (fill in the blank with a vague nickname like "T") and they swear to Odin that they didn't know it was stolen...not much happens to them really, kinda like the kids who broke into Scheels and stole all the guns...just a slap on the wrist is all they get around here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-26720889527651980292008-06-10T11:40:00.000-05:002008-06-10T11:40:00.000-05:00http://www.journalstar.com/articles/2008/06/10/new...http://www.journalstar.com/articles/2008/06/10/news/local/doc484e9b7ed7fa0802201433.txt#cancel<BR/><BR/>GREAT JOB! You guys got the car guys and found a bunch of stolen goods. I am glad you did because when or if they came to my car, I have been waiting.
