Clever idea, the $2 bill

The poster is admitting in public (on an open
forum) that he prints counterfeit money.


There are $2 U.S. bills. The one I have has a portrait of
Thomas Jefferson. I think the idea was to get rid of the dollar bill.
Remember the Susan B. Anthony dollar coins?



I think the Susan B was supposed to last longer than
the paper bills. Save the treasury a lot of bother
printing the weaker dollar bills that don't last as
long.

Someone used to print political lampoon $3 bills,
and I had a lot of fun giving them out.

They may still be available.

Our free range Rottweiler said that it rarely happened. Anything inside
the bounds of the Invisible Fence he was allowed to keep.

Inside the bounds of ..... I think not. That is not free range.
Our dog just roams our yards. No invisible bound.


An acre and a half was free range to him. I'm a good neighbor and some
people don't like dogs, some people are uneasy around big dogs (and
tipping the scales at better than 115 lbs - he qualified), and my dog(s)
belong on MY property, not yours.

In both instances - yes, it really happened - the meter reader and the
mail lady were both in areas inaccessible to the dog. They saw him and
he saw them. Instant fear on their part, got him into his guard mode.

Rottie's are herders and have to be trained to be attack dogs. They
will willing let you into the house but lordy, just try and leave.
Ain't gonna happen unless their owner agrees or they are socialized with
the "offender."

Roman legions bred them to herd cattle in their conquests to feed the
troops. Once they took prisoners, the dogs became their keepers.

Anyhow, my eighty year old neighbor lady heard, on both occasions, the
commotion - mainly from the captives, came over and called Rommel to her
side and allowed the prisoners to leave.g

A long time ago, a friend told me about his car radio being stolen,
but what annoyed him was what it would cost him to replace the
broken vent window on his car. Then, a week later, he was really
annoyed when someone broke in through the other vent window - even
though the first broken vent window and the radio had not yet been
replaced.
Easily avoided. See my other post about locking.

I read your other post. How does that avoid anything, if the thief
is too clueless to even check whether it's locked.



Most do check as the don't want to make noise breaking windows.. Most thefts
are valuables left in unlocked cars. The trick is to not
leave anything in there.

I will agree with that last sentence.

We generally went along with him but did give the mail carrier and the
ComEd meter reader back. They are expensive to maintain.

Bah. My neighbor presently has two "rotties". They try to lick me to
death and slobber all over me.


Shsssh! Don't tell everyone the secret Oren. By and large they are big
babies and very sociable. Ours got along with everything and everyone
(other than a DHL driver who was scared to death of dogs and ran off
screaming like a little girl when he ran into him at our office where
he'd occasionally spend the day).

We had Miniature Schnauzers that would take your arm off if you got near
their food. Rommel? I could put steak in his bowl and then take it
away from him while he was eating.

Did you put an X or something on it to make it distinctive?

Do you not think the serial # of the bill would be enough?

Sure it would be but think about it...

On any given day, how many $2 bills pass through the register at just
about ANY store.

Cops doing a canvass can just ask "Taken and $2 bills today?" The only
place they have to look is until the till with the big and "odd" (read
$2 bills) since there is not a space for them in the cash drawer.

Smooth move! An alternative would be to hit a $1 or $5 bill with a
splash of fluorescent orange marking paint. Just something to make that
bill stand out.

Someone "entered" my unlocked car. Two different occasions. The first
time I lost a can of oil in the back seat. Other card near me that were
locked had broken windows, scratches, similar damage. I had none.

The second time the thief opened the glove box and pulled out some stuff
and left it on the floor. I do keep valuables in there, such as a
pencil and an old screwdriver.

IMO, keep the valuables out of the car and leave it unlocked. The pro
will steal it no matter what protection you think you have and the
amateur will cause damage if locked.

The serial number was pretty distinctive. It was easy to read on a
8.5xq11 picture.

They had taken exactly one $2 bill in the proceeding week.

If this was a thief from far away, it might not have showed up there
but all of this was walking distance from his home.

I don't have hidden key. But as far as I know the harder you hide
the easier to find it.

I've got one basically hidden in plain sight in my yard, in that the
object within which the key resides is in view. But everyone overlooks
it, because it is one of those utilitarian things that doesn't command
much attention. Plus, it is not near the house, much less the door. If
you need the key, you have to take a short walk through the yard - but
even in the deepest snow, you can access it. Amusing thing is, no
matter how many times I've told family where it the key is stashed,
nobody remembers to look there, because after awhile you just stop
noticing inconspicuous utilitarian objects. You see it, but it doesn't
register. Just like when you live near a church and you soon stop
hearing the church bells.

I know a guy who keeps a spare key in the shed, on top of one of the
trusses. He figures nobody can see it and it takes a bit of work to
reach it if you are not a basketball player. (8' 3.5" above FF)

Thanks for sharing. We had - when Rommel (adopted) came home - a
Miniature Schnauzer that weighed all of 13 pounds sopping wet. Rommel
entered the house and Heidi went right for his throat - literally.
She's hanging there and Rommel's looking at me like "What did I do?
What is this thing now attached to my neck?"

After that they got along pretty well but Heidi still ruled the roost
until she passed.

Pets are like their owners. I believe good pets come from good owners.
Small dogs are more trouble, always yapping and high strung. I go to
free run dog park once every day. All kinda dogs come there. Some are
known each other, some are new. Our dog "Walter" (he really looks like
Walter Mathaw) always runs away from little guys bugging him. Never had
pure bred dogs, always rescued dogs. When I had Walter's DNA tested, two
dominant DNA were Husky and Collie, then 4 more DNAs, German Kishond,
Rodesian Ridgeback, Welsh terrier, Whippet. He has blue/white eyes like
Husky, Coat is like Collie. Weighs ~70#

My Basenji is a "bark less dog". They have weird vocal cords, so they
yodel... but very seldom. No barking. My wife can make him yodel.
Basenjis are one on the most difficult dogs to train. They are head
strong, stubborn -- just like me Groom themselves much like cats do
and very independent. They can be a terror. Read a story about one
that tore up an apartment. Owner drove him to the store -- then he
tore up the vehicle interior. They need room, so are not suited for
apartment dwellers.

They are sight hounds originally from the Congo in Africa. Once
thought to be extinct until the Brit's save them.

Except every burglar that believes he can sell stolen guns. All of them aim to

Sure as long as the home owner is _not_ home. An armed home owner
puts fear in a crook. Studies of prisoners say the same thing.

They just confused people if I remember correctly. The
edge had an odd shape plus the coin was a slightly different
color than a quarter. Neither made it distinguishable enough
for busy people.
