Your more than likely correct. Folks now a days rape their once loved home or destroy them when foreclosed on or short sale is happening. They guy in my hopefully soon to be house decided it would be a good idea the rip out all the old copper piping and sell it then make an insurance claim of theft :shock:

Was a benefit for me as I have all new up to date and in code plumbing now in the basement :pepper:

The reason why I think they took it?

There's no furnace or water heater either. Supposedly they will be re-installed within 30 days. All 3 units are relatively new.

$5 says that A/C unit is sitting in their new backyard. I just know it.

Lines cut or neatly unhooked ?
Thats one way to tell as well
On the average 4 guys can remove the furnance/ Hot water heater/ toilet(s)/sinks/ all copper lines/whatever wiring is exposed and all of the carpet in a house in 45-60 minutes or less

One of the management companies tried various things to try and keep them from being stolen.
Had one cage that was cut off with torches, another with a saw, had them chained down as well, nothing worked it seemed .
One Apartment complex had 11 stolen from the time the Maintenance man checked them , went on lunch break for 30 minutes , came back and they were gone! reaon I know about it so well, I was doing inspections that day. We walked past them, had lunch went back to finish the inspection, got back to where they were and we both looked at each other dumbfounded :ROTFL:

"Gone in 60 seconds" :ROTFL:

Yes gone in no time at all
Management companies are having a terrible time, someone moves out and they now have to go in and strip the house them selves basically since if they leave it over night everything will be gone. North side Toledo is really bad in some areas hated doing inspections in that area , don't miss that part of my job at all :ROTFL:

Which is also why some of these vacant homes lately are just catching fire for no apparent reason :shock:

I ran into my buddy over at the fire department and he filled my ear with all sorts of garbage going on that is NOT hitting the news :roll:

tommudd · **Posted:** Thu Jan 10, 2013 11:03 am

Thats been happening for quite some time as well
yes there is more to the story that what hits the news.
I worked with 5 major management companies in that area and every week they were having fires , some only minor , but others were completely destroyed
Well even out near where I lived there were some. Another reason it was time to move

I know Toledo has strict gun laws but I wonder what the ordnance is for having a cannon and gatling gun mounted on the roof? Oh yeah, forget the no trespassing sign, mine will read "beware, live mine field, ya feel lucky punk, well do ya?!" :ROTFL:

Oh wait strict gun laws
Is that why there are at least two -three shooting every night on the North side?

Yeppers, which is also why I have no clue what idiot politicians are thinking when they want to ban certain guns as the thugs will ALWAYS have them. It's not like they are going to get a conscious anytime soon and start to register :banghead:

Oh and by the way, I was at work and had nothing to do with it, just check the cameras! :ROTFL:

if you can fit a 5.7 Hemi in a PT cruiser you can fit one in anything

I swear people are the dumbest creatures on this planet!
I just got back from running some packages up to UPS and Ground to get shipped back. On the way home there is some road construction going on and they have this HIUGE big flashing yellow arrow telling motorists to get their ars's into the other lane, never mind all the cones they have set out. The lady must of been doing something else while driving as she RAN RIGHT INTO IT right after mowing over all the cones! :shock:

She did however find her #1 finger as I was laughing my ars off as I drove by waving at her :jester:

I heard a couple of the road guys giving her MAJOR grief and chewing her a new one, classic! Wow that made my day :ROTFL:

tommudd · **Posted:** Thu Jan 10, 2013 1:01 pm

back in the day we installed a 396 in a Corvair
was it fun? yes for a while
was it practical? No way
Just because you can stuff some engine into something does not mean it'll work good
I build mine so if I want to drive to California tomorrow I can, if I need parts along the way I can buy them anywhere
Some of this stuff you find online is just hilarious

Nick my man, if ya want a Hemi in your KJ it is very do-able. How much money ya got TO DO IT RIGHT? I am game to do it for ya and will even supply the "shop" to do it in, just leave your check book on my box :wink:

Not going to say what I am going to do to mine because still flopping around idea's and have no clue which engine I will use. IF I however decide to keep my Heep like I really do want to, it will end up with a 8 SOMEDAY. I have way too many other priorities going on right now and in the near future that take precedent over such a project.

What got me busting my ribs and crying with laughter was I heard one of the construction guys say something to the effect "ya dumb ars beach drive your f-ing car because no matter how much make up ya put on it isn't going to help!"

Very very true Tom. Cool is one thing but having something VERY dependable and able to drive across country without the chicken wire coming undone is another..........

It is cool, no doubt
guess I've seen so many like that at shows etc
roll them out of the trailer fire them up and drive 100 foot , park and listen to all of the oooo and ahhhhsssss . Waste of a good engine/drivetrain
Used to show cars and always ran into this one guy who built some radical looking rides. Did great work, but never drove them, always trailered. I think half the fun of owning something different is the journey....................
