Not very bright.

So I'm selling a toddler bed to a family from Belton today and they brought a car so I had to disassemble it for them. I run around the back to my shop for an allen wrench and take the bed apart and load it up into their car for them.

Then when I go in search of my Dewalt cordless impact wrench tonight, it's not where I left it in the garage. My first thought is what you're thinking right now. But I like to give people the benefit of a doubt so I search the house, shop, garage, truck, and everywhere else high and low. Yup, the white trash snatched my drill while I wasn't looking. Can you believe that garbage? I don't even have a name on these people. Everything was done via email.

I'm going to have to get VERY creative to get that thing back. Wish me luck.

I've been there. Had a furnce problem and called out a repairman. I noticed about 3 days later that my brand new compression locking pliers were missing. I had no way to prove that they took it though.

People are always looking to get over. You need to watch out. Even people think are your friends can do stupid shit. had it happen once. Was more disappointed then mad though.

I'm especially mad because I went out of my way to accommodate this lady. I even met her offered price, no counter-offer or anything. Then I took the stuff apart and loaded it into her car. She had her teenage punk son with her and probably watched as he snatched it off my shelf during the 90 seconds I was away. Then she looked me in the eye, thanked me, and drove away. What a piece of crap.

It was probably the same druggie that took Rainman's bike.

All kidding aside... I hope you get it back. Good luck.

I have a cunning plan. I'll tell y'all how it worked.

I'm guessing a Dewalt is really good/expensive? Sorry to hear it. Can't wait to hear about your plan though. Also to have you find it misplaced later.

$300

I would love to discover I have misplaced it. I don't frequently misplace $300 tools that I just used last night though.

Putting out a bowl of antifreeze?

Actually, it's quite cunning but I'm not going to divulge until I experience some success.
