Junkies and low-lives, stealing tools and equipment that honest working people need. I have absolutely no sympathy for junkies. It’s not a disease, it’s a choice.
Clean yourselves up, and get JOBS, losers. Come snooping around here, and you’ll be plucking pellets from your backside for months.
might not be junkies. might be gangs of illegals stealing from work crews of illegals. i dont even know what to call a scenario like that.
Inside job.
