People are stealing just under a grand worth of merchandise and walking out of stores every day here....store security are NOT allowed to stop them.

That's completely nuts.....

 

[Bill Pemberton]

Oh cmon, with inflation shouldn't they allow $1100 per theft by now?

What is equally depressing is our TMO members down under in Australia ( pop. 26,500,00 ) has three of the top unaffordable places to live with Melbourne, Adelaide, and Sydney. I can understand why a good friend of mine finally accepted a job here in the US, he said he could have 2 cars, a home , and more in the Midwest for what he paid for in rent in Melbourne.

Sure we have snow, tornados and more, but a 30 mile drive takes 30 minutes throughout alot of the less populated States in middle America.

Back in the 90's it was my dream to move to Australia.....not anymore. Now I want to go to Idaho.

If I do make it there I will have to sell everything I own, including the shop, tools and racecar, so my racing escapades will only be a story I tell strangers who will never believe me anyway.
