Paypal account was used for unauthorised transaction
The same thing happened with me with Playfish for 2x $100 orders. Then I got a remark back from playfish that I should protect my passwords better. Paypal didn't tell me how they did this either. I was running anti Virus before (Norton) with constant updates and now I'm running with 2x... -

Ugh - hit a deer on the way home from work last night
I've hit three deer this year. I have a decent ride but I've just stopped fixing the dents. It's not worth the time to me at this point even though some of the damage is pretty significant. I'm glad it's been in my Yukon Denali or else a couple would have gone through the windshield on a... -

Rural mailbox vandalism solution - 300 lb mailbox?
You might check regulations before making these kinds of modifications. It might just be because I live in a snow zone, but boxes here are regulated and must break away so they don't damage the snow plows. Remote cameras are the way to go really since mail theft is a bigger issue than mail... -

Nasty weather in north/central California
Hi Mike, Thanks. You can be safer about trees near houses. Some trees are prone to these issues and others aren't. In this case it was an old double top pine. These come down often since they are structuraly weakened. I've had many of these fall on my properties. This one tree shouldn't... -

Nasty weather in north/central California
We had quite a storm here in S. Oregon and an 80'+ long 3' diameter tree top slammed through my office/flashlight shop roof the other night. After over two days the power to the region has been restored and it's no longer 'snowing' in my flashlight space I'm happy to report. I am also happy to... -

FBI steals crime victim's money
One of the reasons this nation was founded was to prevent the crown from confiscating property. "Ill gotten gains" is just a ruse to overturn one of the most cherished foundations of our nation. It is amazing how quickly that has been erased. For no reason should a person's property be... -

Three stolen FM lights!!!
Hi Lux, I leave a light in the pockets of the doors and two in the center console between the seats. They are out of the way and out of sight this way. I really liked these lights. Paulr, Thanks for the post. That's exactly how I feel. These are tools. I use them regularly and if I... -

Three stolen FM lights!!!
3rd, no this was in house at the dealer. I'll know Monday whether they will make good or not. That's when they will talk to their suspect employee. -

Three stolen FM lights!!!
Thanks knot. Yeah, local boys made good. For the most part I think those signs are just to discourage people from leaving items. You just can't trust a car to a shop if you can't trust the possessions inside won't vanish. Sometimes it seems a mechanic is just as important as any doctor... -

Three stolen FM lights!!!
Hey thanks a lot guys for letting me cry over my beer!:mecry: Actually the brother of the CEO of Lithia Motors called me today. He's going to file a report and cover the loss. My town is where they launched this large dealership chain and I'm glad to see them ready to stand behind this. I'm... -

Three stolen FM lights!!!
I don’t know if the proper place to post this is in CPFM Jeers, but since these are custom lights I figured it might be better here. Friday I picked up my SUV from the local Chevy dealership after having repairs. I had a detail done as well. When I picked up my SUV I noted I was missing 3... -

Anyone without power this weekend?
Sunday my power came back on after it was off for 6 days due to the storm that came through S. Oregon and far N. California. We had 4' of snow in about a day. -

Only in America...
The teacher probably was reporting the boy in a race to beat a report against her since we live in such a litigious society. I will agree what is in the woman and the school board's minds is troubling and not what's in the boy's mind. Life NRA, yes the pressure to conform is great when raising... -

Sick and sorry...
Yuck, were you vaccinated and then you still came down with them, or were you just never exposed before? I hope you get better soon! -

AWR Nano Challenge Donation Thread
AWR, you contradict yourself, often in the same post. I guess the smartpak boards were free, no? I avoided your projects because I saw you coming a mile away. The only redemption on this forum lies in your hands, and I don't mean at the keyboard. Your incessant posting only proves everyone... -

Postal truck burned to the axles with my SPY005 in it!
Thanks for the sympathy. As geepondy points out it's the anti lottery. It's just ridiculous. I still can't believe it happened and somehow still expect to get a call to hear it arrived. I guess I'm in denial:) -

Postal truck burned to the axles with my SPY005 in it!
Nah, if I had paid insurance on all my packages it would have cost more than probably 3x my losses to date. That's the risk. However there have been a cluster of incidents with this one post office and in fact with this one clerk. We're going to use UPS from that office probably from now on. I... -

Postal truck burned to the axles with my SPY005 in it!
I've had great fortune with shipping, only losing one X bin light sent to Australia out of all the shipping I've done. However a S. CA postal truck burned to the axles with my SPY005 and an Aleph LE that I was just sending for someone to check out. It wasn't a sales. How often do postal trucks... -

Virus / Scam ALERT
Re: Virus / Scam ALERT; READ ME! I received a "Sony Vaio's at @ $2,499.99 each." today as well sent to a foundation I'm part of. I didn't open it or play with it.
