This new scam is being pulled mainly on older men.
What happens is that when you stop for a red light, a young nude woman comes up and pretends to be washing your windshield. While she is doing this,
another person opens your back door and steals anything in the car. They are very good at this. They got me 7 times Friday and 5 times Saturday. I
wasn't able to find them on Sunday. Bob and Susan - 4-1-2005 at 11:32 AM

..all too frequently lately, a pesky gal from next door comes over to 'check out' one of my fishing rods. Then, before I know what happened, my
Pacifico is gone and I don't remember drinking it! I'm losing a lot of good Pacifico these days. And this used to be such a quiet
neighborhood...sighBruce R Leech - 4-1-2005 at 01:18 PM

Lock The Doors
MrBillM - 4-1-2005 at 01:22 PM
I NEVER drive around with my doors unlocked, North or South of the Border, unless I'm out on the beach. Heck, I lock my car doors when the vehicles
are sitting in my driveway.

don't even THINK about leaving this board again. Shame on you. Your posts are the greatest. I live vicariously through them. What would we do
without you? And besides that, I am sure that the picture of Felipa with the big note worshipping you was a fake. So there,

Goin' back for more, and more, and more, eh? My first thought was ... that many trips back and you didn't get pics. What were you leaving in the back
seat for them? Oh, happy belated April 1 to you too.tim40 - 4-3-2005 at 10:04 AM
Pomp it is our guess that the Pacifico was not the only thing that came up and then was missing...
Case Rested ?
MrBillM - 4-3-2005 at 12:51 PM
I'm glad that JR's case is rested, but unclear on what that case may be. It's clear that his brain has been well-rested for years.
In the event that he is assigning some value judgement to my lack of trust in my fellow man, Oh Well.
My motto is to always hope for the best, but expect the worst. More people should try it. For one thing, you will often find yourself pleasantly
surprised, but never disappointed and never come off second best in a serious situation.
Speaking of which, the other night while laying in bed at 0100 in the E.U.A., my front door opened and one of my security lights came on. I carefully
and quietly picked up my 45 ACP and walked down the hallway, checking every room, then going over to the door. The security screen was still locked,
but the door open. Apparently my wife hadn't closed it tightly and the gusting wind blew it open. As a result, I was pleasantly surprised.

I just chain my wife up near the door. No need to get up and check.
No need to mention this post to her either.
Very lucky

If anybody had been shot that night, it would have been a Bad Guy who deserved it. I've never shot anybody I didn't intend to. Gun control is all
about picking and hitting your target.
A humorous aside to that subject is a radio program I was listening to in San Diego. Roger Hedgec-ck's guest was a former Law enforcement officer who
had written a book on Self-defense. One of the points he made during the show was that if you ever had to shoot someone inside your house, fire (3)
shots. Two Center Mass and one into the ceiling. That way when the law shows up and asks if you fired a warning shot, you can say Yes.

Bill,
Did you ever consider that you may have watched too many cop shows on TV ?
What if the intruder was a 14 year old kid looking for trinkets ? Do you think he deserves to die by your gun ?
There isn't much justification for theft but there is no justification for shooting a kid.
What if the intruder was one of your neighbors/friends trying to wake you for an emergency ?
You might want to think about the potential consequences and guilt if you actually shot and killed a neighbor, friend or kid.comitan - 4-3-2005 at 08:31 PM

Some very goods points, for everyone to ponder, & ponder & Ponder.
Ponder, Ponder, Ponder......
MrBillM - 4-4-2005 at 10:40 AM
Diver - I never cease to be amazed at the thinking processes of Lefties who confuse fantasy with reality. They're the ones who drool in loving
appreciation of John Lennon's "Imagine" . Luckily, they are also the ones who tend to die defenseless. My life experiences don't come from TV shows.
"A kid breaking into my house seeking trinkets" ? Yes, he will die and that's tough. Bad behaviour leads to bad consequences. That teenager in Los
Angeles who went joyriding in someone else's car and was shot dead when he tried to run over a policeman received his just reward.
I don't know about you, but I've never had or heard of a neighbor BREAKING into someone's house to warn them of anything.
Live according to your code of conduct and I'll live according to mine. As stated earlier, the only person who could die at my hands will be a bad
guy. It's the Looney Lefties who make mistakes. I remember years ago when Carl Rowan, a Leftist Editorial columnist for the New York Times who had
ranted anti-gun rhetoric for years, accidentally shot a teenager in his back yard with an UNREGISTERED gun he owned for self-defense. Hypocrisy
reigns supreme among Leftists.
Speaking of which, our Rabidly Anti-Gun Senator, Dianne (Not so) Feinstein has packed a concealed 38 spl (legally) ever since her City official days
in San Francisco. Good enough for her, but not for us.

That's right there willy, they should all be shot because they don't agree with you! Then, you and that idiot president would have a perfect world,
right?

MrBillM - 4-4-2005 at 10:56 AM
I am never angry or disappointed when faced with marooonic behavior by someone I consider a marooon. It simply reinforces my value judgements. In
your case, the poor reading comprehension is once again evident. I have never stated that anyone who disagrees with me shot be shot dead, only that
criminal actions deserve punishment. It's only in your Bamboo-sodden Brain (?) that statement appears.
I'm sure that MY President could match his educational record with yours, but WHO CARES. He is president for a lot LONGER and I know that it's going
to bug you every moment. That's satisfaction enough for me. I do practice Schadenfreude with gusto.Bruce R Leech - 4-4-2005 at 11:13 AM

Ease back, dude,
You are now responding to posts that are not there.
Lera buying a bridge?
Wow! I did not know smoking Bamboo created that much distortion.
Drink lots of water and rest.
It's really good "boo" Man

But, it would seem that either your memory is "gone" or you missed the posts regarding such. Wanna buy a bridge?
Wandering
MrBillM - 4-4-2005 at 05:39 PM
This thread is wandering quite a bit as they tend to do and I'm as responsible as anyone, but Hey, that's OK.
The comment about Forensics brought up another thought. Our great scientific advancements have created a criminal justice conundrum in which NOBODY
should ever be convicted on circumstantial evidence provided they have the funds to hire the best defense.
During the Jon Benet Ramsey investigation, it was pointed out that the longlife of forensic evidence made it impossible to explain EVERYTHING found
and, consequently, a good defense could concentrate on what could not be explained by the prosecution. A more recent example is the Robert Blake
trial where the statement was made that the TV series CSI had made it difficult for the prosecution to prove their case. On the TV show, minute
specks of material point exactly to the culprit, whereas in real life, it doesn't happen. The jury expects the kind of decisive determination that TV
provides in fiction.
Of course, in the Robert Blake case, there were a lot of us who figured he probably did it, but that was Ok because some people richly deserve to die.
