I Thought You Might Enjoy This...


I found this blog that posts and comments on news articles about construction site thefts. Some of the articles are pretty funny and unbelievable. It looks like a new site, I hope they keep it up.

It’s about time someone started reporting on jobsite thefts. It feels like an epidemic that no one cares about and it seems to be getting worse. I had an air compressor and nailers stolen 4 months ago and I’m still recovering from that hit. There is some funny stuff on there, thanks for the link.

Geez...You’ve had stuff stolen in Towson? That’s the nice part of town.

I agree with you, it does seem as if people can steal anything from jobsites and get away with it...and it definitely seems like it’s worse than ever. Sorry to hear about your loss.

The same thing happened to a friend of mine while he was unloading equipment into his house. He was working in Patterson Park on the highlandtown side and someone took his generator while he was taking tools into the house. It had to have been two crackheads unloading it and running down the street with it because it was too heavy for one guy to get away that fast. The crazy thing is, is that there were plenty of people sitting on front-stoops who had to of seen who did it, but nobody would tell the police anything. “A Real B*tch Don’t snitch!”
