They actually did it
You probably remember this joke sign:
Our friends of Voices for a “Safer” Tennessee came out with their version:
And they want $25 for the privilege of announcing your peaceful intention of being a victim.
Hiding Keys
I bought these coin-sized magnets for some project and didn’t use them.
They were just stetting away from anything magnetic-sensitive, till one day I was trying to figure out where to hide a key and my brain did a 2+2 and came out with sticking one of the magnets to the key and just find a suitable place.
It worked better than I expected. And the funny part is that you are not subjected to place the key where there is metal, but you can add a metal “location” by simply adding a wood screw to any part of the house you can think of for hiding the key, just make sure it is flush with the surface, your fingers will thank you. Do you want to rotate locations? Fine. Select several places, install screws and you are done.
There is also the obvious way of just selecting a hidden spot and affix the magnet to it: it also works. I am using both ways just fine.
And unless you are way too obvious, it would be very hard for somebody to find the key easily or at all.
Dear Sheriff, do comply with their wishes.
I saw this on the news earlier today and … well, the stupid corporate thought behind it is monumental.
And I say to the sheriff to make all Target stores in his jurisdiction off limits for enforcing the law except hard violent crimes (Murder/Rape).
If Target security does not understand that with their attitude crimes will not only continue but actually increase in number and violence and that the dwindling customer base will still record and post videos that will be counterproductive to their sales, they deserve to crash and bankrupt in a spectacular fashion.
And I forgot: No Law Enforcement will lead to no emergency rescue personal attending calls at those locations. That is another pound of nails in that coffin.
Red Dawn San Francisco.
The movie Red Dawn was supposed to be a warning. The Liberals and Hollywood elites (but I repeat myself) at the time threw a hissy fit calling it warmorgering and fearmonegering. But as with 1984, it turned also to be a prediction.
You have to give it to them: Not a single shot fired.
And this is why we can’t have nice things.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – The Tanger Outlets opened in Antioch two weeks ago, but police are already investigating thousands of dollars in stolen items.
A man and woman were caught on camera running out of a Michael Kors store with handfuls of expensive jackets and bags on Sunday, the Metro Nashville Police Department said.
In a cell phone video obtained by WSMV4, you can see the employees fighting back and trying to stop the thieves.
Thousands of dollars in merchandise stolen from newly-opened Tanger Outlets (wsmv.com)
I already had a dislike for Tangers Outlets before opening since it made traffic in the area a pain in the ass and even deeper pain when it opened. But that is the grumpy old fart in me which also dislikes this trend of Grab & Run crime and would not mind seeing these criminal get a bit (a lot) of justice. But it seems my opinion is not held by everybody.
Dorea Fitzgerald saw the video but said the theft is not stopping her from coming to the new outlets to shop. She’s lived in the area for more than 15 years and has already seen the community be uplifted by the new outlets.
“I feel like it’s part of the holiday season,” Fitzgerald said about the theft. “People are going to steal. That is what it is. I’m not concerned.”
And I betting that if the shoplifters offer to sell one of the expensive coats for a fraction of the price, she will not hesitate to buy it and parade around with it during the holiday gatherings family and friends.
But we cannot expect anything else. After years of “accepting” and “normalizing” bad behavior including murder, retail theft is now at the same level of decorating the Christmas tree or sending or watching a game after Thanksgiving dinner.
Will Karma pay her a visit? I would hope so, but that again is the old fart in me talking.
Somebody Is Going To Find This Too Tempting.
