yeah yeah I said to stick to the pocket protector, didn't I? I'd just shut all my stuff up and not care about who it is stealing it as long as they no longer can.
'Friends' that are theives.

KEEPER OF CATS, FISH AND CATFISHES
Been there... A few thoughts from an 'older' guy:
-Lock it up. Use a good key lock, not the cheap dial-type combo locks...those can be popped by putting a belt thru 'em & yanking. It might seem like a pain to take a key with you but your stuff will be safe.
-Don't leave things where they can be stolen...even in a locker...
We had to share lockers; the guy I was to share with was a real 'burnout'...as we called 'em back in the 80's. I never used that locker...I carried a LOT of crap with me or stashed it elsewhere.
I had my camera/lenses/etc stolen from the school darkroom; the door had one of those cheap dial combo locks on it. Fortunately it was on my dad's insurance so I wasn't out much. Even so, I NEVER left it there ever again.
-Don't talk about what's in your locker/car/etc.
My Stereo and amp were stolen from my car in the HS parking lot. I had been bragging about how great of a deal it was...
-"Friends"...
I had a 'friend' steal an $8 library book from me in Jr High. $8 is a lot of $$$ when you are 13. I found out several years later when I was visiting his house and saw the book. He thought nothing of it.
and FWIW, this was in a middle-class suburban area...

hmm...i would buy a bottle of juice and not open it but punch a hole around the top somewhere and drain about 1/3 or a tad more out..then shoot some castor oil down into it then chill it very well...then casually put in the locker where it can be seen.. may could be done buy opening it too..depends on the thief ...muahhahahahaaaaaaaaaaa!
