Jeff,

Or on the other hand these thieves are cheaper than having a dumpster.  You
might try leaving out some junk and see if they take it.  Each time making
it a little more difficult so they keep coming back until the shop is clean.

Subject: Thieves - Again

Looks like I had another visit from the Vanagon thieves this weekend.  They
stole a 2.1 liter short block that I had left out behind the shop (fenced,
but not too difficult to climb).  There is some good new though... that
short block was completely seized up and had a hole in top where what was
left of the rod had stuck through.  Obviously, I wouldn't have left this
block outside if I cared about it, but thieves still suck.  I sincerely hope
they hurt themselves whilst lifting that block over the fence.

Perhaps it's time for a video surveillance system...

Cheers,

Jeff
