Fossil Thief Arrested


Tidgy's Dad

I wouldn't think my fossils were the first thing a burglar would pilfer, but maybe I'm wrong about that.

A friend of my house was burglarized and they just took electronics.  Ignored the tons of $$$$ fossils .

If someone burgles your fossils, there is a good chance they are known within this community, or they gleaned irresistible info from the beans you spilled on this forum or on social media.  So if you must post high dollar fossil pics for all to see, you may also want to drop hints that you are happily retired or working from home, caressing your AR-10 in one hand while petting your Rottweiler with the other.  Food for thought.

That crossed my mind about spilling beans. But if I cut out showing off my collection, my participation on the Forum is reduced to almost nothing these days (trying to resist being a gadfly.) On the good side there is almost always someone here at home, and it's usually me.

Most of the locations posted on here are at the city or state level. The few people on here who actually know my address are people i trust so I’m not really concerned about posting pics on here…..

I too have 2 voracious saber cats patrolling the yard.

I know for a fact that you have shed loads of fossils that I would be delighted to burgle. 

If I were that sort of chap. Busted.gif.856cea1c0e92ca0c0bd3122fce4fb9fb.gif

An apartment of mine had the door kicked in many moons ago. 

The thief ignored all the fossis, money in a draw, my video and TV and took only my toaster and some sliced bread. 

Must have been hungry.

Tidgy's the same. 

Trouble is she devours fossils too.

Well you (and I) would not be the usual sort of burglar.... if we were such. ;)

Very slow to escape. 

Especially if loaded down with fifty kilos of fossils.

Slow to get past all the clutter to find the good stuff, too...

I missed an opportunity: I should have said, How do you know I have a shed, have you been casing the place??  :TongueOut:
