    Who stole the Organ Pipes?

    Heard the story today, 2000 organ pipes from an Historic Memphis Church, destined for restoration in Boston are missing when the truck they were loaded in was stolen.

    Thats a lot of tin. Be on the lookout for a yellow Penski rental truck.

    If the metal part of the pipes is lead I'd suspect a boolit caster!

    It wasn't me.
    I was in Tangiers doing missionary work bringing the Gospel to the heathens when all that happened.

    Joke as you may but you know as well as I do that this will be seen and it will be used against shooters by those who hate us. Even those who do not see this but know what those pipes are made of and know about lead and bullets will put two and two together. Personally I think it was crackhead scrappers looking for a quick load of scrap money but who knows. All I know is we do not need more bad press and joking around like this on a public forum is not helping.

    Imagine if crackheads would productively generate value with all their energy, instead of stealing my window unit to sell for the scrap metal.

    The problem with crackheads, methheads, and junkies is that they will steal stuff and do hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of damage to trade something for $10 worth of drugs.

    It's not just the crackheads, a number of years ago, a neighbor had a raised 350 gallon above ground gasoline storage tank. Snowmobiler's rode by late at night and cut the nozzle off the end of the locked hose and filled up their sleds, probably 6 at the most, then left the rest of an almost full tank run on the ground as they rode off.

    Lower life forms are every where.

    They got probably 50-60 gallons and left almost 300 gallons run on the ground.

    Locking the hose is a dumb way to secure it.
    The lock should go on the cutoff at the tank.
    That is the way we did it.
    Then if they cut off the lock all that is lost is what they steal.
    There should never be pressure left in the hose, a hose can go bad, and you lose gas even if there is no dirtbag stealing gas.

    I believe the pipes may have been high in tin like pewter.
