Hellooo my fellow laborers!
Story time! Disclaimer: censored language.
I live in NICEville.
So I take off early today so I can work on cleaning my garage full of gear/junk and put shelves in and organize everything I have. Great, I got a buddy to help out. Going awesome! Started around 3pm.
Get everything out of the garage into the driveway cleaning and moving stuff. and I need an additional shelf. Now mind you I do this semi regularly and we live on a fairly busy main road.
I have my buddy stay and watch the gear in my driveway. I thought it'd be okay, but I wanted to be sure while I was gone.
I run off to Lowes and come back.
"Hey guess what happened!?"
"What?"
"You know how the motion lights go out after no motion goes on?"
"Yeah."
"Well, I was sitting on the front porch on my phone and I was pretty hidden in the dark. And this car pulls up across the street. I thought that was weird since there's no house directly across from you. Then these two black guys jump out of the car and run over here."
"What!"
"Yeah, I'm stunned, thought to myself 'are you for real doing this now?' There's tons of traffic and people I wasn't sure what to do. They get a few feet away from the gear. That's when I stood-up and the light came on. I yelled at them 'Hey motherf*ckers' and racked my pistol back. Earlier I had grabbed my pistol just in case... well I'm glad I did. Frightened, they said 'oh f*ck' and ran."
"dang dude, when did this happen?"
"Right as it got dark, maybe 20min ago around 5:10p"

So now I'm looking for Black Friday deals on security camera systems and led motion lighting... yay.
Stay safe y'all. Keep security in your minds even when you're not on the gig!
P.S.
Merry Thanksgiving
P.P.S.
Not a big deal, I'm sure they were just passing by and thought they could get a quick grab at something. Hopefully they aren't casing the joint and plan on coming back
Can't believe something like that could happen here in my little town on a busy highway. I could have gone in for water and come out and they could have gotten away with it.
