Burglars for the new generation
In the seventies, someone broke in and stole
my color TV. Last night, I came home to find someone had broken in and crammed in 45 or so analog televisions into my trailer. -- .. Christopher A. Young Learn about Jesus www.lds.org .. |

I've got a neighbor that still uses a TV that has push buttons on it. If burglars ever broke into his house they'd probably end up leaving $5 on the kitchen table. |

I managed to get most of them working and gave them away on Craig's list |

Belongs to my major client. I had an unused, bigger LCD but it would not work without a new driver and company cannot access the machine on line from the US as it would have to be done from the UK. The battery in the pc died but it works needing to hit f1 key. I could replace it but the machine is locked from my access. Wish the whole thing would die so the company would replace it. |

I'm sure what happened was the thief you mentioned had repented and decided to pay you back because of his past indiscretions... with interest. ;-) |

Did they do much damage? Do you have any clues? The week before they prohibited putting tv's in the trash, I threw away about 35 of them, that I had tried to fix and failed or didn't have time to try. This was just a couple years ago. I didn't realize at the time that I could bring them to you. |

Wish I could find the right media to grow wire clothes hangers. Those are useful. -- .. Christopher A. Young Learn about Jesus www.lds.org .. |

Well, unless the market crashes? But, it's still a good idea to put away a TV or two in case the market continues as it traditionally has. -- .. Christopher A.

When you go out at all hours, leave a note for them to put wheels on your trailer house. You could then haul the televisions around. |
