        This is the reason why we need to put them behind a lock at the end of each day lol. Any sort of equipment, fuel, all sort of shit is wanted by some sort of thief. I feel like if I left a bag of literal garbage there with some construction equipment manufacturer’s name on it, it would get stolen lmao

          What I’m hearing is that you’ve solved the local hazardous waste disposal problem.

          I bought a school bus a few years ago and had to park it at a lot in a pretty bad neighborhood (like, the kind of place where you step on a syringe if you’re not careful). I started converting it to a motorhome and I would leave my tools in it overnight. Of course I got robbed and everything was stolen - hand tools, power tools, even my generator, although I found that again stashed behind another vehicle on the lot because one of its wheels had fallen off. So I started leaving only cheap supplies in it and I still got robbed, three more times. One of the robberies was them taking sponges and masking tape. The only good thing was they stole the seats and ceiling panels I’d removed, sparing me the expense and hassle of getting rid of the things myself.

        One of my dad’s friends does exactly this with traffic cones. He makes sure it’s a council construction zone, since he hates the local council that much to only punch traffic cones from them.

        I gotta respect his dedication haha, he’s got a ton of them

      The building site already had it when I came there. Don’t know where they got it, Würth or Puuilo probably since those have a company billing account for us.

        Based on the response to that shovel, which is nice btw, it seems like some things don’t change with age in some people.
