When someone robs your stuff it just pisses you right on off!
So...it has been my habit to leave our garage doors open during the day because from the street you can not see into the garage bays and know what's inside. Like many folks we have accumulated lots of stuff over the years, so a thief would be able to score an OK haul from us were they to have access through those doors that I leave open.
Kay would always grip at me about closing them, but I would always say, "Don't worry, it'll be OK." Needless to say it will be some time before I live that one down.
A couple of weeks back Kay wanted to use her fairly new weed string trimmer which was a really nice battery operated model,
EGO Power+ ST1500-S. When she went to get the trimmer she could not find it, so she asked me if it had been moved and wanted me to find the darn thing and it was not there of course. Also missing was my gas trimmer, an Echo similar to this model,
Echo SRM-2620 ProXtreme Trimmer .
The Ego electric is about $150 for just the trimmer with no battery or charger and the Echo cost me about $350 4-5 years ago.
We think that we may know who took them, but how do you prove that something is yours when you name isn't marked on it? One kind of funny part, the battery was not on the Ego, so when the asshole took it to the pawn shop he would have been lucky to get $10 for it.
So, the doors will stay closed now unless I'm actually in the garage and we now have a shiny new security camera system,
ZOSI C301 Wire Free Cameras Security System Outdoor 4Channel NVR + a WD Purple 1TB Surveillance Hard Drive. It's a nice system and it is taxing my mental prowess because it is a technology that is totally new to me. It's now set to show on my cell phone and so when Kay and I were out for some errands today I got to play with it a bit.
Here's a couple of pics of my desktop. The system dose not come with a monitor, so I used one of my old Dell monitors(17in?) for the display and it looks good. It is setup to show four cameras, but you can set it to show one at a time full screen... looks better than I had thought that it would.
Ps: This Damn garage door mistake is gonna cost me close to $600! $400+ for the security system and $150+ for a new Ego trimmer. (I'm not gonna replace the gas trimmer)
