    Tired of being a chauffeur for my wife. We left Baker about 6:30 this morning and almost 6 hours and a boatload of yard sales later we’re in Bonifay. Saw a little bit of gun stuff including 3 long guns only thing I’ve bought so far is a couple of ammo cans

    Well today my wife and I went to do our final walkthrough of the house we are supposed to be closing on on Thursday, I go in and go back to the bedrooms and look into the hall bathroom and see that the cabinets in the bathroom are open. I don't think all that much of it. I look inside the cabinets, all looks normal so I close them up. Right after I leave the bathroom I hear my wife and the real estate agent talking about the back sliding door being open, so I go and check it out and we are just wondering if the owner of the house we're there and accidentally left it open. So I continue on downstairs. It's a un-finished basement so it's all frames and exposed wiring, plumbing ect.. I go into one of the rooms where the water shut off is located and first thing I notice is a crescent wrench on the ground, look up at the main water and sure enough the water pipe is disconnected after the shut off. Follow the pipe up the wall and up on the ceiling and sure enough under the insulation under the upper floor it is tore out and about 5 ft more of copper piping cut out. Now I go into the utility room and yep, every bit of copper piping that is accessible in that room is gone. Water softener, water heater, all the sink, bathroom kitchen water pipes gone. Sons of bitches. I call the Real Estate agent down and show her and she was in disbelief as well.
    We are supposed to be closing on Thursday, and this doesn't make me not want the house. So I just tell them I want a Licensed Plumber to perform the work and I need it done properly before I will sign everything, which they agree, it's truly not a ton ton of work since the basement is wide open it should be a fairly simple job, but God Damn, some people are assholes. Our house buying experience was going was too smooth, so we should of seen something coming.

    $2.76 per lb, not exactly a huge haul..some people work harder at being bums and thieves than they would on an honest job

    and that is spot price, not scrap..scrap price even less I am sure..

    Double-check every door and window to make sure they didn't leave one unlocked for another visit. Then put some security signs/stickers, close the window blinds, and leave a dog dish outside. If they're stupid enough to return, no need for a discussion on their motives. They've said PLENTY by just being there... Protect yourself and family and give the home-invaders a terminal case of lead-poisoning.

    This happened in Pocatello ID. The current owners will file a police report, nobody touched the wrench that was left, so prints could possibly be pulled. And yea they couldn't of gotten much for what they pulled, and no wire was touched so we are thinking that they could of possibly been there when we pulled up and heard us pull into the driveway, we sat there for a few minutes waiting for the Real Estate agent. They might of taken off then. Who knows.

    And Yes a Security System and cameras were already ordered and will be here next week. Looks like that will take a bump up in priority on getting installed. Haha and a German Shepard was supposed to be a Christmas gift for the kids but that might be bumped up too haha. It's a nice neighborhood so I don't imagine it's a issue aside from it being a vacant house and someone saw the opportunity. But yea they won't be happy if they come back while we are there.
    So glad that a final walkthrough is required though, would of been so furious if we signed and then walked through afterwards. Washer and Dryer is supposed to be delivered Friday. That would of been fun to find out then.

    Sounds like you have the situation covered. Karma/guardian-angel helped you out on this one. More silver-linings to be thankful for in November. :)

    As for the dog, I'd recommend you get the house squared away and everyone settled, first. That's a lot of added choas and stress for a new pet to be welcomed with. It should be introduced to a stable home, if able. The dog dish outside, though, still recommend. It's a visual cue, like security cameras and stickers. The home invader may or may not care, but it's a cheap deterrent in the meantime.

    Good luck on everything.

    Took a few minutes, but I finally rid my iPhone of those annoying "extra" holidays on the "US Holidays" calendar.

    Create your own Holidays calendar, scroll through and manually create the ones you want (repeat yearly, etc). The "Custom" selection in the repeat section will allow you to pick Third Monday of July or whatever... The current "US" calendar tells you "Last Monday in May", etc for each holiday.

    Then, deselect those "US" calendars and enjoy the declutter.
