I always kept 2 red ( supposed to be gas) 6 gallon cans full of diesel in the barn farthest from my house for tractor emergencies,anyway the neighbors had a couple teenage boys that went on a theiving spree year before last,they stole the 2 full cans,I know because a State Trooper drove back to their house and said they had over 50 gas cans laying around,he wouldn't let me go identify mine,but I still got the last laugh.The dumb--ses put the diesel in their two Honda ATVs which no longer run.
Nobody bothers much here in the country,but there is a rash in N Ky of people cutting catylatic convertors off of parked vehicles that set up high,and scrappers grabbing every hunk of metal they can find,including the copper out of homes.
