    OK, so I work for a sign company. We have something like 7 or 8 boom trucks - a few of them are brand new big boys that will boom out to over 100 feet (about 9 stories or so). They probably run over 100 grand a piece. Anyway, I come into work this morning and there our gate is laying on the ground all bent up. Someone came in and stole three trucks. Used one to bust through the gate and away they went. FULL of tools, welders, ladders, etc. There are some pretty unhappy people here this morning...

    With that kind of pricey equipment around, are there security cameras anywhere on the property? Would insurance companies require security cameras? Do the trucks have the company logo on them? If so, what is your company's name so we all can keep a look-out? Good luck in finding them. When you do find them, string them out on the boom, extend it to it's full length, then drop them! They deserve it...make sure you post the video on here...

    that sucks. if they dont have security cameras they're simply asking for trouble with that much stuff laying around.

    We have cameras, but not enough lighting. They need to hire a security company - I'm sure they will now. They caught the back ends of the trucks on video as they left the property, that's it. I'm sure they're in Mexico by now or dismantled in a warehouse somewhere.

    Yeah it bites...now they're saying the estimated loss is closer to $200,000 per truck.

    Funny...Virgil works for a sign company. And knows where I work.

    If I see a boom truck at the track with nitrous I'll know who it was...

    I'm needing me a larger MIG welder. I guess I need to put the word out since there are a few running around for sale. What day were they stolen?

    Hell, they're probably in Louisiana or Arkansas by now. If the news could get out to the tv stations, somebody had to see them driving somewhere at that hour of the morning. People are very observant of things like that so early in the AM. We all way to become rich or famous because we saw, video taped or reported a crime in action.
