Default A Thief Visits

About a month or so ago, we discussed T1-11 siding for someone's shed and I was one who commented, with regard to my garage and shop T1-11 siding. That thread spurred me to dress up the interior of my garage, reprime and repaint.

Yestersay, about half way through the job, I had 2 reupholstered foot stools to deliver to the decorator, not far away, and left the garage open, while gone. 15 minutes was enough time for some thief to steal 3 cans of primer and 2 cans of paint.... about all he could reasonably carry off, I suppose. Seldom is there anything of value stored in my garage to be of interest, otherwise.

I mentioned the theft to the paint attendant at Lowes. He said thieves try to return items, hoping for cash refunds.

Thieves will steal anything, especially this time of year, I suppose.

Take extra care, this time of year, to secure your property, even items of nominal value. It's frustrating having to deal with thieves, this way.
