PIKEYS
Families that live in caravans moving from area to area with no fixed abode. Dont pay taxes and thieve to earn money. Usually into the Tarmac/Bitumen "do ya drive mister" or Tree Surgeon sort of trade. No good at either but manage to run new vehicles with no insurance etc etc

basically pikey = low life

My buddy owns a muffler distributor and several shops throughout missouri.  he's been selling cats like crazy, especially for big box trucks, sometimes a whole lot or service fleet worth.  They'll break in at night and clean a whole business out of them.  He gets calls all the time from regular people who've been ripped off too...he's probly making out better than the crooks!

Been hearing of more gas being stolen around here lately. Drill a hole right in the bottom of a trucks tank and drain it into a 5 gallon pail. I put a locking cap on my houses oil fill. One of my plow customers lost three cords of wood right off their porch this past winter. They only come up from Mas 5 or 6 times a winter, more during the summer. It was there when I shoveled the roof, next time I showed up to plow it was gone.
Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs

Unfortunateley the fuel crisis has hit us too. Its not unheard of to have a rig syphoned overnight costing at least $500-00 a tank   :(

I just read in the paper that someone stole the bronze plaque on Daniel Boones grave. The guy cut it up and sold it to a scrap yard. The idiot was caught and arrested though. This is getting ridiculous.
