Honestly if the farmer thought it was a horse thief I'm surprised he didn't come out armed. He was uninformed, but he laughed it off when he was convinced he was wrong instead of doubling down and escalating, like so many would.
Horse theft is pretty common in more rural areas. We Had a woman try to steal several of our horses that we had bought from her and had the bills of sale for. She managed to take one while we were at school and hold it for a couple months, but we got him back in the end. She lost custody of her kids and isn't allowed to own another horse.
Montana still has an active sentencing guideline that basically states that horse thieves can be hanged by the neck until dead. I LUV living in Montana!
Here in Texas, a lot of places used to count horse theft a capital offense with the penalty of death. The idea behind it was if you stole someones horse and left them stranded in the deadly and uninhabited mass most of the state was back then (and a large portion still is), you might as well have murdered them yourself. While such laws have changed, still a fun story my history teacher told me.
Final story, the security guard should have been fired. She refused to check as her job requires, she harassed a employee, and she also should have noticed that this kid was stone sober which usually doesn't happen at a bar.
@@smol_yote LOL I'm currently playing that game and it's like a $10-20 bounty and if the law sees you and you run from them, it can get you shot at 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Rockstar actually did a fairly decent job with historical accuracy when it comes to that sorta thing too. The prices they have for stuff is actually really close to what it was back in the day
@@LilBluSky0417 Traditionally horse thieves we're put to death. Play Red Dead Redemption 2 those are accurate prices for horses at the time which is a couple years salary at minimum for a wealthy person. Hence why the punishment for that crime was death.
Horse theft is a fairly common thing, and still pretty serious offense in some places! Like Montana! Some years ago in western MT a couple who owned a riding stable were murdered and their horses driven off overland across the nearby MT/ID border. Never heard how it turned out, but MT charged the perps with horse theft because at that time at least MT law allowed the death penalty for horse theft, but not murder.
We actually kinda have a stolen horse in our family field. A few years ago a taxi driver turned up at our house with one of the yard girls from the racing stable my uncle works at. We own a 13 acre field that is directly across from our front door. The girl tells us that she saw a bunch of youths dragging this little Shetland pony around on a motorbike on a traveller site, not a legal site, a road side site. She waited for the youths to leave, called a taxi and begged the driver to help get the pony here. The driver, an animal lover, brought them for free, we lived 40 miles from where they found the pony. She was in not in the best of shape, she was very skinny and distrusting of people, she had a couple of open wounds and conjunctivitis. She went into our field, the vet got her patched up and 3 years on her name is Peaches, she is a little menace, she loves getting out of the fence, more than once I've found her in the garden. Overall she's a happy and healthy pony. She lives with a grumpy old retired racehorse and another pony Lilly, providing she doesn't try stealing Grumpus's food, she's got a good life. She did steal his food once while wearing a coat. He picked up her back end and ran her down the field, my poor uncle fell over laughing as her little front legs tried to keep up with Grumpus. So yeah, that's the story of Peaches, our stolen Shetland.
Just like dropping your car off at the mechanic, unless you specifically authorize repairs, places can’t just start throwing parts in and fixing it. If the person decides they don’t want to pay to have the work done and it’s already done, the shop has to eat that cost. You are paying for diagnosis until you authorize repair.
As someone who grew up on a farm I can say that if someone you didn't know showed up on your property out of the blue you always went to investigate as there's a lot of expensive equipment to steal from a farm
Fun fact: horse theft in Washington State is still a hanging offense and, in some areas, you get caught out in someone's herd messing with their horses, it's shoot first ask questions later.
If the guard was so experienced in dealing with lying drunk people, she should easily recognize when a person is sober. And calling the boss to verify would probably have taken less time. Please excuse any fault in grammar and/or spelling,
Yeah, even if the manager didn't call him, the op had his phone and should've call the manager of the problem if he was afraid to be late for work. It would be dumb to just stay in line to be slowly let in.

LOL, I once worked for Direct TV in the tech call center. Had a guy call in with two houses that he said it wasn't anything I suggested it might be. I had already run tests from my end so suggest he look at the satellite dish and cable from it to the inside. He swore up and down it couldn't be that. I begged him to please check. First dish, he came back to the phone and sheepishly said "You won't believe this, but there was a large toad the same color as the dish sitting on the center of the dish and covering the things coming out from the center. Would that have cause the issue?" I said, that yes it would. He had removed the toad and checked the TV's then. Perfect reception for his first house. Second house - he checked and found his horse had kicked the dish off the fence post he had installed it on. He put it back on and we aligned it together over the phone and it then worked perfectly. So a toad and a horse interfering with the receiving dish's.
I used to work as an officer and this is one of my stories: I was working the normal shift, y’know. 8 hours of sitting by the local Walmart waiting for something to happen when a lady came up to me ( I am older than I look so I probably looked about 16 to her) and rapped on my window. I rolled it down slowly. She stared at me for a moment and then said, “What are you doing?”. I looked at her for a second. “What does it look like I'm doing ma’am?”. She looked shocked that I didn't give her an answer and proceeded to start telling me how disrespectful I was for talking to an older woman like that. I just rolled my eyes and put the window up. She rapped on my window for another few minutes before finally giving me a smug look and storming off and walking into the store. I continued to sip my coffee and watch for any lawbreakers. Ten minutes past and guess who came by again? Karen. She was with somebody else this time. It was a tall man, yellow and blue uniform. Probably the Walmart manager. I rolled my window down once again. “Hello young lady, can you please step out of the car?” I stared at him. I have social anxiety so I get nervous around 2 people. It's odd, if there's one person in direct contact I'm fine. But if there's two I just break down. I stepped out of the car warily. He asked where my parents were. I looked at him in disbelief. He thought I was 15! (I'm 23!) I nicely told him “Sir, I'm 23, why would my parents be here.”. Keep in mind that my car looks nothing like a cop car. It's painted the generic white with the typical small cop light. I was a trainee at the time so I didn't look the part either. Karen continued onto tell him that I sat in the car and ignored her when she asked what I was doing. “Ma’am, I am in the [ My States Police Crew] and if you have a problem just call our non-emergency number. And then it all came out. She accused me of littering while she passed by and smirking while laughing at her. That was even the worst of it. She also said that I shouldn't be married. She probably saw my wedding ring. “Your husband should be ashamed of you!”. She was wrong about one thing. I told her “Oh! Would you like to see a picture of him?”. She took out her phone and said “Oh that would be great!”. She was probably going to try to use that in a terrible way. I pulled out my wallet and slowly pulled a picture out. I flipped it around. She started at the photo for a moment. “Show me a real picture of you two!” She said annoyed. “Oh, but this is him. Oh, I'm sorry I meant my girlfriend!”. She stopped immediately, almost dropping her phone. I think she panicked knowing she was in the presence of a gay. She muttered “Fag***.” under her breath. I told the store manager that I would make sure that he doesn't see her again. She stormed back to her car and drove off. Best part? I got her license plate number.
Horse story: they were wearing halters. Bridal are used during riding. Sorry. Southern cowgirl. Couldn’t help myself. I’m in Tennessee & can’t say I’ve never heard of horse theft. People will try to steal anything not bolted down.
As to first story, yes, in Florida, the fines are very high for TREASPASSING on equine/ag designated properties. People are actually doing drive bys on horses here in Marion County, shooting and killing horses.

Last story, not a fair assessment. I used to work night club security and it's in the job description to put up with crap. Also, if you don't know someone claiming to be an employee get the boss!

The HORSE took out the side of the truck? I can beat that...well...actually it was an Uncle of mine. one of my uncles had a campervan...a very nice campervan...custom built campervan ( expensive lol ). One day he and my aunt were driving along the side of a small private airfield, all of a sudden my aunt screamed. Uncle looked up...only to see a a single engine light plane heading right for them...keep in mind he's driving along the ROAD ! Said light aircraft 'twisted' slightly and the lower wing tip scrapped alongside the van. Uncle swears he has no idea how the pilot kept it in the air at the time....but it recovered, flew away and a few minutes later he saw it come in for a landing on the grass strip airfield...portside wing tip crumpled up. So obviously Unc drove around and found the entrance and drove in. Found the pilot and passenger...who was apparently leaning over and throwing up ( I can't say I'm surprised...I think I would have been as well had it been me !) . Anyway...obviously Unc made an official complaint, guy lost his license for trying to act like 'Biggles' ( google it ). The fun part came when he put in a claim for the damages to his campervan. He filled in the forms and duly sent them of...they came back. So he filled them in again and ( again ) sent them of...this went on for some time. Eventually the insurance Co sent a rep along and told Unc that these forms were unacceptable. Unc naturally asked 'why'? . This is obviously paraphrased...but went something along these lines. 'What? you were hit by a low flying aircraft? That's ridiculous' ! Unc pulled out a load of photos...of the van next to the plane, the damage to the plane and his campervan, the pilot and passenger. Then added a few extra ones of the police that had been called out for good measure. Claim approved lol ;-)
Many years ago a man asked me to build a bed with 5 foot tall sides and a double door on the rear for his pickup. I said ok. He told me to give him a list of materials that I would need, and he would get them for me. He drove up his truck with no bed at all and I went to work. I made him out a building list, and gave it to him. I was using 3" channel iron for the crossmembers. He looked at the list, and saw the 3" crossmembers and said that he was just going to use 4x4s for crossmembers. I answered, well it is your truck, but if you want me to build the bed, we are using the 3" crossmembers. He looked at me and smiled, then said 3" crossmembers will be fine. I built the bed, and everyone was happy.
When I lived in Florida, cattle and horse theft were worse than the same crimes in Texas. Many people are unaware of just how large each of those industries are in Florida. I suppose that many former ranches are now subdivisions of houses. (I lived in Florida from the late 1960s to the early 1990s.)
In the state I live in, if someone breaks into your home, and you shoot them as they are running away, you will be arrested and charged (which to me makes total sense). However, if someone comes on your property and attempts to steal any farm animals/live stock (i.e. horses, cattle, even chickens) you can shoot them anywhere you want, even in the back while they are trying to get away! As a matter of fact if someone got away with your live stock, and you know who it was, you can legally go to their home and shoot them there of you have to,, to retrieve your property,! A threat to one's life is just that. But, a threat to one's livelihood is not tolerated.
I used to work in a copy center, the amount of times I'd call and leave messages with questions regarding orders, only to have people show up and be confused about why I'd call if their order wasn't ready was baffling. And yeah, they'd always respond that they didn't listen to the message.
WAY long time ago The Police played a huge concert in the city I lived in. Afterwards, For ‘reasons’ Copeland and Summers hung out with some friends of theirs at the small club I was in. The next day we found out that at the big, after-show party, an idiot door guard wouldn’t let Sting into the party, despite him saying he was in the band! Didn’t believe Sting, didn’t recognize him, had no job after that night.
I was a cashier at a popular office supply place. One morning this lady comes in and starts yelling at me because when she dropped off her computer for a free check up they didn't automatically do a pricey repair. I was alone up front and know very little about computers, I explained this to her, she continued to yell at me until my supervisor finally came out.
My co-workers dad has many horses, he has a ranch! He just bought a horse from Washington, the seller brought it up. They put it out in the pasture. By the end of the weekend, the horse was gone. They were figuring they were going to find a half eaten horse as we have lots of cougars and bears in our area. After a couple weeks of searching all the areas they usually find dead horses, the figured out the seller cut the fence out on the back of the land and took the horse home! $30,000 Canadian down the drain!
Pulled up horse theft on wikipedia: Punishment for horse theft can still be severe, as one woman in Arkansas was sentenced to 60 years in prison for the 2011 theft of five horses and equestrian equipment
I'm trying to understand the Farmer's thought process here. "Here's a kid, in a very specific spot, saying he's from the company that's authorized to be in this spot, with a truck but no horse trailer. HE'S CLEARLY STEALING MY HORSE!"
@@feelsaxelman HEY! I resemble that remark! Actually, part of it has to do with a stupid law that states that if someone trespasses on your land, and gets hurt, they might be able to sue you, despite the fact they were committing a crime. So, it quite literally pays to be hostile and run off trespassers as quickly as possible, before they do something moronic. The other part is, horses are precious fur babies and must be protected from suspicious strangers! They're like pets. Just more expensive! . And, technically, you could use a truck to push over fences, then just walk a docile horse off the property through the gaps.
furrymessiah; there were two people there and some people know how to ride horses, I know today thats almost a novel concept but it’s for real, and some people even know how to ride bareback.
It was a F150, that's a pick up.. In theory he could load the horse on the bed. He could also get on the horse and ride out or lead the horse on the side of the truck (while sitting in the truck). It all depends on the character and training of the horse, thinking it was a docile ranch horse all of the above could be a possible. Ranch horses tend to be well trained because of the work they need to do. This includes riding brideless and bareback because ranchers and workers need their hands free to handle the cow's or other work so the horses are trained to respond on leg and weight changes/cue's of the rider. A well trained horse can take years to get there and still be useless because of it's character. So ranchers are pretty posessive of their good horses (even if the horse could be a cheap one on paper) The same goes for the competition horses who are worth way more than a regular ranch horse.. Some are rediculusy expensive as in worth more than a avarage mansion, way more.... I have seen prices for a bit of seed going up to 10,000 dollar or more, yes a bit of sperm.. And that is not even talking about lawsuit's. If the trespasser get's hurt even if it's his or her own fault by the horse, it can be grounds for suing the rancher. So the rancher is not stupid.

We just had an orchard near me get some of their new just planted breed of apple trees stolen. It was a unique breed to them so good luck selling them to whoever was dumb enough to take them.
I used to work at chip level motherboard service, we got lot of Karen's as such getting their systems. Who did not pay for the diagnosis. You see figuring out what the problem is takes about 70% of time and effort. Then 30% to rectify the problem. But entitled people do not understand that for just figuring out their issue they need to pay. So we also usually did not charge them. Hopefully they agree to repair it and accept the parts replacement. But occasionally there were some. Who would wait for diagnosis and once they learnt what has to be replaced. They tell they'll come back.. And ask for the laptop /pc. And they go out and get it replaced somewhere else for cheaper. (because diagnosis is already known) and as the OP SAys, there would be lot of junk that we have already cleaned during diagnosis. So others would do it for cheaper. As half work is already done by us for free. Maliciouscompliance : so whenever we have some jerk asking to return their device for second opinion or he says he will come back later to get it repaired, we quietly remove 1 ~2 IC/capacitor/resistor that only we would know is missing and will put it back if the jerk customer really comes back to us. If they go for second opinion and don't come back. We just use it as a dead donor parts.
I hate using phones after working in my husband's computer store for five years. I would leave v/m only to have someone call back and tell me they didn't listen to the msg or they would show up just like this Karen did, assuming their stuff was ready when it needed approval to order parts before 3pm on Friday. These Karens would come in on a Saturday and flip out when we tell them they didn't call us back so we didn't order the part, so now they have to wait a full week since if we got the ok before 3pm, the big company would have the weekend to ship it to us on the Mon or Tues, now we'll be lucky if the part arrives before Thurs b/c it will get ordered on the Mon. Typically it's VIPs who need their machine fixed ASAP who never listen to their v/m. Sidenote: As a result of that five years of stupid phone stuff, I never bother setting up v/m on any of my phones, and I never give my # out to anyone outside of work and close friends who know they need to text me only. I can't even tell you what the ringtone sounds like on this new Pixel 4. And I hope I never find out.
I sometimes get mistaken as a costumer at the government institution i work at xD like.. No i don't want state's money, i help decide who gets money xD Its mostly because i dress pretty casual... I was also mistaken for a university student... And i was like... No... I am the new lawyer xD
For the PC repair I have found that trying to explain to them what went wrong and what they need to do to fix it is superfluous. All you need to tell them is we found the issue one of the memory sticks dies and will need to replacement it'll cost this much. Do you authorize us to make the repair for that much? All they care about is getting the machine working again... They don't care about the technical side of why it's not working or why it's important to have that piece of hardware working. Just tell them how much it'll cost how long it'll take and when they can come pick up their machine.
Even though the security guard had every reason to believe she was just a customer trying to cut on line the guard should’ve called the boss and asked about her to see whether her story was true. If she confirms she’s a liar she can ban her from the club for the whole night for wasting everyone’s time including the owner’s!
Horses were the original transportation and very expensive. Horse theft is one of the original capital crimes and still carries that penalty in most states.
Regarding the computer repair story, sadly these days patience no longer seems to be a virtue and has been replaced with impatience, too many people want everything instantly preferably faster. Getting it done "now" is too slow for some.
During the valley floods (Stanislaus county, CA) in 1996-97, I was a volunteer with the American Red Cross. We got word that near one of our evac shelters the sheriff's office was busy chasing down/stopping horse thieves. They were boldly pulling huge horse trailers & pretended to be part of the neighbor volunteers rescuing farm/ranch animals. Pretty ballsy, cold-hearted opportunistic assholes looking to get a pay out from people's tragedies. Disgusting.
as someone who works with horses I had some trouble understanding the first story. not that I think it’s fake, just that the terminology was so wrong at times I couldn’t figure out what they were trying to say lol
Horse stealing is still a serious crime (horses are valuable) but you don't hear of it as much as cattle rustling. Fun fact: In the State of Michigan the penalty still on the books for horse stealing is HANGING!
Story 1: not sure about horse thieving, but cattle rustling will put you in jail for years! Okeechobee, FL and other areas in Florida have huge cattle ranches... 🤟
On the IT part, I wish you had a name for a male Karen. Back in 1989, I bought a power supply from a store (no big-box back then) and he (owner) refused to give me a receipt. The power supply was defective, and the owner refused to swap it out because I didn't have a receipt. Now, where ever I go, I tend to be memorable because I'm extra-nice to people, crack jokes, and engage with them. He even admitted that he remembered me at one point and told me it was my fault for not insisting on a receipt. I'm not that mouse anymore lol
Today the law is justified by the expense to obtain and train horses for your use cases, but for the frontier/pre-rail road era that law basically justified by the fact that on top of the expense it also meant cutting a person or family access to far supplies to stay alive.
At some point, when dealing with Karens and Chads, you have to admit to yourself there's no dialogue. There's no talking to these parasites. Start giving orders for them to GTFO, and when the childish don't listen, get security or even the cops.
I agree trying to argue with a Karen or a Darren is like trying to discuss politics with a brick wall you’re better off either ignoring them or calling security to help you out
While there were quite a few lynchings by vigilantes for stealing horses, there was never any law on the books that it was a capital crime. It definitely was a crime and would result in time behind bars, but no court that I've been able to find ever issued a death sentence for the crime of horse theft. Concerning the last story, if someone says they work there and are reporting for their shift and claims they are going to be late if delayed, the security guard has a duty call the manager to confirm. If the person really doesn't work there then "I don't appreciate being played. Don't even bother to get in line, just leave." Had I been the manager I would have told the security guard, "Since you made him late, he'll be getting full pay. I'll deduct the time he was late from your check."
@@grannysweet If you ask me, that should apply to anyone who steals or harms any pet. Naturally, the same applies to people who harm or kidnap children as well as anyone who victimizes senior citizens.
In the 2nd story the boss was being too vague about her options. A) Buy stick of RAM to improve reliability or B) Pay for maintenance now for half fixed product. There's no option C so he might as well not explain it.
In all fairness to the Boss, I'm pretty sure that explaining her options might just as well as been talking in Greek to this customer. All she heard was that she had to buy something to get her laptop to work again. additional expenses often irritate customers unfortunately.

We actually kinda have a stolen horse in our family field. A few years ago a taxi driver turned up at our house with one of the yard girls from the racing stable my uncle works at. We own a 13 acre field that is directly across from our front door. The girl tells us that she saw a bunch of youths dragging this little Shetland pony around on a motorbike on a traveller site, not a legal site, a road side site. She waited for the youths to leave, called a taxi and begged the driver to help get the pony here. The driver, an animal lover, brought them for free, we lived 40 miles from where they found the pony. She was in not in the best of shape, she was very skinny and distrusting of people, she had a couple of open wounds and conjunctivitis. She went into our field, the vet got her patched up and 3 years on her name is Peaches, she is a little menace, she loves getting out of the fence, more than once I've found her in the garden. Overall she's a happy and healthy pony. She lives with a grumpy old retired racehorse and another pony Lilly, providing she doesn't try stealing Grumpus's food, she's got a good life. She did steal his food once while wearing a coat. He picked up her back end and ran her down the field, my poor uncle fell over laughing as her little front legs tried to keep up with Grumpus. So yeah, that's the story of Peaches, our stolen Shetland.
Just like dropping your car off at the mechanic, unless you specifically authorize repairs, places can’t just start throwing parts in and fixing it. If the person decides they don’t want to pay to have the work done and it’s already done, the shop has to eat that cost. You are paying for diagnosis until you authorize repair.

Would that have cause the issue?" I said, that yes it would. He had removed the toad and checked the TV's then. Perfect reception for his first house. Second house - he checked and found his horse had kicked the dish off the fence post he had installed it on. He put it back on and we aligned it together over the phone and it then worked perfectly. So a toad and a horse interfering with the receiving dish's.
I used to work as an officer and this is one of my stories:
I was working the normal shift, y’know. 8 hours of sitting by the local Walmart waiting for something to happen when a lady came up to me ( I am older than I look so I probably looked about 16 to her) and rapped on my window. I rolled it down slowly. She stared at me for a moment and then said, “What are you doing?”. I looked at her for a second. “What does it look like I'm doing ma’am?”. She looked shocked that I didn't give her an answer and proceeded to start telling me how disrespectful I was for talking to an older woman like that. I just rolled my eyes and put the window up. She rapped on my window for another few minutes before finally giving me a smug look and storming off and walking into the store. I continued to sip my coffee and watch for any lawbreakers. Ten minutes past and guess who came by again? Karen. She was with somebody else this time. It was a tall man, yellow and blue uniform. Probably the Walmart manager. I rolled my window down once again. “Hello young lady, can you please step out of the car?” I stared at him. I have social anxiety so I get nervous around 2 people. It's odd, if there's one person in direct contact I'm fine. But if there's two I just break down. I stepped out of the car warily. He asked where my parents were. I looked at him in disbelief. He thought I was 15! (I'm 23!) I nicely told him “Sir, I'm 23, why would my parents be here.”. Keep in mind that my car looks nothing like a cop car. It's painted the generic white with the typical small cop light. I was a trainee at the time so I didn't look the part either. Karen continued onto tell him that I sat in the car and ignored her when she asked what I was doing. “Ma’am, I am in the [ My States Police Crew] and if you have a problem just call our non-emergency number. And then it all came out. She accused me of littering while she passed by and smirking while laughing at her. That was even the worst of it. She also said that I shouldn't be married. She probably saw my wedding ring. “Your husband should be ashamed of you!”. She was wrong about one thing. I told her “Oh! Would you like to see a picture of him?”. She took out her phone and said “Oh that would be great!”. She was probably going to try to use that in a terrible way. I pulled out my wallet and slowly pulled a picture out. I flipped it around. She started at the photo for a moment. “Show me a real picture of you two!” She said annoyed. “Oh, but this is him. Oh, I'm sorry I meant my girlfriend!”. She stopped immediately, almost dropping her phone. I think she panicked knowing she was in the presence of a gay. She muttered “Fag***.” under her breath. I told the store manager that I would make sure that he doesn't see her again. She stormed back to her car and drove off. Best part? I got her license plate number.
Horse story: they were wearing halters. Bridal are used during riding. Sorry. Southern cowgirl. Couldn’t help myself. I’m in Tennessee & can’t say I’ve never heard of horse theft. People will try to steal anything not bolted down.
As to first story, yes, in Florida, the fines are very high for TREASPASSING on equine/ag designated properties. People are actually doing drive bys on horses here in Marion County, shooting and killing horses.
Why?
@@robertnelson9599 Took the words right out of my mouth, Poor horses they’re just standing around grazing they didn’t do anything to anybody their not viciously attacking anyone they’re just being horses why the hell would somebody kill them😢
Last story, not a fair assessment. I used to work night club security and it's in the job description to put up with crap. Also, if you don't know someone claiming to be an employee get the boss! If they're actual employees than they'll be verified. If not you put them on the banned list. It's really that simple. She was just getting off on the power of the situation and position.
Yep get the manager as that call is above your paygrade (you declaring you are there person reasonable for hiringing)
yeah true that
besides OP wasnt even drunk so the whole "had enough of drunk kids" thing doesnt even apply
If the security guard wasn’t been a big dumbass and listened when they asked for the manger there wouldn’t have been a problem
Granted, but why didn't OP call the manager? They both had phones.
@@wayneleboeuf5040 Also agreed.
The HORSE took out the side of the truck?
I can beat that...well...actually it was an Uncle of mine.
one of my uncles had a campervan...a very nice campervan...custom built campervan ( expensive lol ).
One day he and my aunt were driving along the side of a small private airfield, all of a sudden my aunt screamed. Uncle looked up...only to see a a single engine light plane heading right for them...keep in mind he's driving along the ROAD ! Said light aircraft 'twisted' slightly and the lower wing tip scrapped alongside the van. Uncle swears he has no idea how the pilot kept it in the air at the time....but it recovered, flew away and a few minutes later he saw it come in for a landing on the grass strip airfield...portside wing tip crumpled up.
So obviously Unc drove around and found the entrance and drove in. Found the pilot and passenger...who was apparently leaning over and throwing up ( I can't say I'm surprised...I think I would have been as well had it been me !) . Anyway...obviously Unc made an official complaint, guy lost his license for trying to act like 'Biggles' ( google it ). The fun part came when he put in a claim for the damages to his campervan.
He filled in the forms and duly sent them of...they came back. So he filled them in again and ( again ) sent them of...this went on for some time. Eventually the insurance Co sent a rep along and told Unc that these forms were unacceptable. Unc naturally asked 'why'? . This is obviously paraphrased...but went something along these lines.
'What? you were hit by a low flying aircraft? That's ridiculous' ! Unc pulled out a load of photos...of the van next to the plane, the damage to the plane and his campervan, the pilot and passenger. Then added a few extra ones of the police that had been called out for good measure.
Claim approved lol ;-)
Many years ago a man asked me to build a bed with 5 foot tall sides and a double door on the rear for his pickup. I said ok. He told me to give him a list of materials that I would need, and he would get them for me.
He drove up his truck with no bed at all and I went to work. I made him out a building list, and gave it to him. I was using 3" channel iron for the crossmembers. He looked at the list, and saw the 3" crossmembers and said that he was just going to use 4x4s for crossmembers. I answered, well it is your truck, but if you want me to build the bed, we are using the 3" crossmembers. He looked at me and smiled, then said 3" crossmembers will be fine. I built the bed, and everyone was happy.
When I lived in Florida, cattle and horse theft were worse than the same crimes in Texas. Many people are unaware of just how large each of those industries are in Florida.
I suppose that many former ranches are now subdivisions of houses. (I lived in Florida from the late 1960s to the early 1990s.)
In the state I live in, if someone breaks into your home, and you shoot them as they are running away, you will be arrested and charged (which to me makes total sense). However, if someone comes on your property and attempts to steal any farm animals/live stock (i.e. horses, cattle, even chickens) you can shoot them anywhere you want, even in the back while they are trying to get away! As a matter of fact if someone got away with your live stock, and you know who it was, you can legally go to their home and shoot them there of you have to,, to retrieve your property,! A threat to one's life is just that. But, a threat to one's livelihood is not tolerated.
I used to work in a copy center, the amount of times I'd call and leave messages with questions regarding orders, only to have people show up and be confused about why I'd call if their order wasn't ready was baffling. And yeah, they'd always respond that they didn't listen to the message.
WAY long time ago The Police played a huge concert in the city I lived in. Afterwards, For ‘reasons’ Copeland and Summers hung out with some friends of theirs at the small club I was in. The next day we found out that at the big, after-show party, an idiot door guard wouldn’t let Sting into the party, despite him saying he was in the band! Didn’t believe Sting, didn’t recognize him, had no job after that night.
In Texas horse 🐴 and cattle theft is a 3rd felony with up to 20 years in prison and a fine of 10 thousand dollars to 200 thousand dollars.
Never steal a cowboys horse kek
It's still on the books here in texas you can buy hanged for stealing a horse
Wow I guess I’m just too Dallas to know that

Karens are the sort of customer everyone wants to see fired.
I was a cashier at a popular office supply place. One morning this lady comes in and starts yelling at me because when she dropped off her computer for a free check up they didn't automatically do a pricey repair. I was alone up front and know very little about computers, I explained this to her, she continued to yell at me until my supervisor finally came out.
My co-workers dad has many horses, he has a ranch!
He just bought a horse from Washington, the seller brought it up. They put it out in the pasture.
By the end of the weekend, the horse was gone. They were figuring they were going to find a half eaten horse as we have lots of cougars and bears in our area.
After a couple weeks of searching all the areas they usually find dead horses, the figured out the seller cut the fence out on the back of the land and took the horse home!
$30,000 Canadian down the drain!
Pulled up horse theft on wikipedia: Punishment for horse theft can still be severe, as one woman in Arkansas was sentenced to 60 years in prison for the 2011 theft of five horses and equestrian equipment
Horse theft in Montana is actually pretty serious. 5k-50k fine, and/or jail time up to 10 years
I'm trying to understand the Farmer's thought process here. "Here's a kid, in a very specific spot, saying he's from the company that's authorized to be in this spot, with a truck but no horse trailer. HE'S CLEARLY STEALING MY HORSE!"
Rural farmers don't seem to be the smartest breed.
@@feelsaxelman HEY! I resemble that remark!
Actually, part of it has to do with a stupid law that states that if someone trespasses on your land, and gets hurt, they might be able to sue you, despite the fact they were committing a crime. So, it quite literally pays to be hostile and run off trespassers as quickly as possible, before they do something moronic.
The other part is, horses are precious fur babies and must be protected from suspicious strangers!
They're like pets. Just more expensive!
.
And, technically, you could use a truck to push over fences, then just walk a docile horse off the property through the gaps.
furrymessiah; there were two people there and some people know how to ride horses, I know today thats almost a novel concept but it’s for real, and some people even know how to ride bareback.
It was a F150, that's a pick up..
In theory he could load the horse on the bed.
He could also get on the horse and ride out or lead the horse on the side of the truck (while sitting in the truck).
It all depends on the character and training of the horse, thinking it was a docile ranch horse all of the above could be a possible.
Ranch horses tend to be well trained because of the work they need to do.
This includes riding brideless and bareback because ranchers and workers need their hands free to handle the cow's or other work so the horses are trained to respond on leg and weight changes/cue's of the rider.
A well trained horse can take years to get there and still be useless because of it's character.
So ranchers are pretty posessive of their good horses (even if the horse could be a cheap one on paper)
The same goes for the competition horses who are worth way more than a regular ranch horse..
Some are rediculusy expensive as in worth more than a avarage mansion, way more....
I have seen prices for a bit of seed going up to 10,000 dollar or more, yes a bit of sperm..
And that is not even talking about lawsuit's.
If the trespasser get's hurt even if it's his or her own fault by the horse, it can be grounds for suing the rancher.
So the rancher is not stupid.

We just had an orchard near me get some of their new just planted breed of apple trees stolen. It was a unique breed to them so good luck selling them to whoever was dumb enough to take them.
In Texas horse theft carries a sentence of anywhere from 5-99yrs in prison.
Anytime Florida is brought up, you know you cant predict anything. Everything wierd comes from Florida.
Got no respect for thieves and stealing. Let's just leave it at that.
MY UNCLE OWNED CATTLE AND HORSES IN TEXAS . BOUT 20 YEARS AGO A FELLER TRIED TO STEAL ONE OF HIS COW PONIES . MY UNCLE SHOT EM . JUSTIFIED
Here in Wyoming if you steal a horse, you will be lucky if you ever make it to a court!!!
I used to work at chip level motherboard service, we got lot of Karen's as such getting their systems. Who did not pay for the diagnosis. You see figuring out what the problem is takes about 70% of time and effort. Then 30% to rectify the problem. But entitled people do not understand that for just figuring out their issue they need to pay. So we also usually did not charge them. Hopefully they agree to repair it and accept the parts replacement. But occasionally there were some. Who would wait for diagnosis and once they learnt what has to be replaced. They tell they'll come back.. And ask for the laptop /pc. And they go out and get it replaced somewhere else for cheaper. (because diagnosis is already known) and as the OP SAys, there would be lot of junk that we have already cleaned during diagnosis. So others would do it for cheaper. As half work is already done by us for free. Maliciouscompliance : so whenever we have some jerk asking to return their device for second opinion or he says he will come back later to get it repaired, we quietly remove 1 ~2 IC/capacitor/resistor that only we would know is missing and will put it back if the jerk customer really comes back to us. If they go for second opinion and don't come back. We just use it as a dead donor parts.
#2: Fluff...if you only knew how many time my job tries to call and leave voice mails; only to hear their voicemailbox is full.
Well like the boss said, she could have called him to verify.
I hate using phones after working in my husband's computer store for five years. I would leave v/m only to have someone call back and tell me they didn't listen to the msg or they would show up just like this Karen did, assuming their stuff was ready when it needed approval to order parts before 3pm on Friday. These Karens would come in on a Saturday and flip out when we tell them they didn't call us back so we didn't order the part, so now they have to wait a full week since if we got the ok before 3pm, the big company would have the weekend to ship it to us on the Mon or Tues, now we'll be lucky if the part arrives before Thurs b/c it will get ordered on the Mon. Typically it's VIPs who need their machine fixed ASAP who never listen to their v/m.
Sidenote: As a result of that five years of stupid phone stuff, I never bother setting up v/m on any of my phones, and I never give my # out to anyone outside of work and close friends who know they need to text me only. I can't even tell you what the ringtone sounds like on this new Pixel 4. And I hope I never find out.
I sometimes get mistaken as a costumer at the government institution i work at xD like.. No i don't want state's money, i help decide who gets money xD
Its mostly because i dress pretty casual...

Horse theft in Texas is a hanging offense
In Texas horse theft is a hang able offensive. It's an old law
For the PC repair I have found that trying to explain to them what went wrong and what they need to do to fix it is superfluous. All you need to tell them is we found the issue one of the memory sticks dies and will need to replacement it'll cost this much. Do you authorize us to make the repair for that much? All they care about is getting the machine working again... They don't care about the technical side of why it's not working or why it's important to have that piece of hardware working. Just tell them how much it'll cost how long it'll take and when they can come pick up their machine.
Horse and cattle theft is still a major concern. Can't blame the rancher. And the real Karen in this story was the horse.
To be fair to the OP, the security guard probably had a walkie to contact management.
But she didn't use it. Glad she got her ass chewed out over it. Interfering with someone's livelihood is NOT funny or professional. Am I wrong?
The employee had a phone. He could have just called the manager.
Even though the security guard had every reason to believe she was just a customer trying to cut on line the guard should’ve called the boss and asked about her to see whether her story was true. If she confirms she’s a liar she can ban her from the club for the whole night for wasting everyone’s time including the owner’s!
The guys in the tower truck were lucky in Texas trespass let alone horse theft can get you shot on sight
Horse theft is treated the same as stealing a car in most places. They're expensive animals to raise and care for.
In the first story where the horse damages the truck, surely the company could sue the farmer for damages ?
Back in the day, like old west, stealing a horse was a hanging offense
Horses were the original transportation and very expensive. Horse theft is one of the original capital crimes and still carries that penalty in most states.

Regarding the computer repair story, sadly these days patience no longer seems to be a virtue and has been replaced with impatience, too many people want everything instantly preferably faster. Getting it done "now" is too slow for some.
True. What really bugs me is that she got her filthy laptop cleaned for nothing.
During the valley floods (Stanislaus county, CA) in 1996-97, I was a volunteer with the American Red Cross. We got word that near one of our evac shelters the sheriff's office was busy chasing down/stopping horse thieves. They were boldly pulling huge horse trailers & pretended to be part of the neighbor volunteers rescuing farm/ranch animals. Pretty ballsy, cold-hearted opportunistic assholes looking to get a pay out from people's tragedies. Disgusting.
as someone who works with horses I had some trouble understanding the first story. not that I think it’s fake, just that the terminology was so wrong at times I couldn’t figure out what they were trying to say lol
Horse theft is common enough in the rebel states and a few other ones to where it’s reasonable to assume someone’s attempting it
Five years for horse theft? I would actually expect more…
Honestly I'm not surprised people steal horses as they can be extremely expensive not only to buy but also to own.
Horse Thieves used to be hanged, as next to murder, it was THE worst crime to ever commit.
There is still an actual law in Utah, that if you steal a horse your punishment is to be hung in town square.
WELL hope I don't get seen as a robber.. WHEN I WORK THERE, have a good day fluff!
Horse stealing is still a serious crime (horses are valuable) but you don't hear of it as much as cattle rustling. Fun fact: In the State of Michigan the penalty still on the books for horse stealing is HANGING!
Story 1: not sure about horse thieving, but cattle rustling will put you in jail for years! Okeechobee, FL and other areas in Florida have huge cattle ranches... 🤟
5 years in prison for horse theft is a lot better than it used to be. They used to hang horse thieves. 😂
On the IT part, I wish you had a name for a male Karen. Back in 1989, I bought a power supply from a store (no big-box back then) and he (owner) refused to give me a receipt. The power supply was defective, and the owner refused to swap it out because I didn't have a receipt. Now, where ever I go, I tend to be memorable because I'm extra-nice to people, crack jokes, and engage with them. He even admitted that he remembered me at one point and told me it was my fault for not insisting on a receipt. I'm not that mouse anymore lol
*Me stealing a horse*
Me: I GOT THE HORSES IN THE BACK!
Horse theft is a hangable offense in some U.S. areas to this day.
Today the law is justified by the expense to obtain and train horses for your use cases, but for the frontier/pre-rail road era that law basically justified by the fact that on top of the expense it also meant cutting a person or family access to far supplies to stay alive.
Only 5 years for stealing a live creature that has a connection like a family member to someone seems light.
I don't know about a prison sentence, but if you steal a horse in Texas, you're in real danger of getting shot.
Yes too common *Horse Theft* here where I live it is 14 years in prison. Some are stolen for horse slaughter.
That Karen that said unacceptable reminds me of Lemongrab from Adventure Time
"I love you"? We're moving a little too fast, DarkFluff... XD
6:20 if you steal a horse in texas you are in way more trouble ( no one changed the 200y old laws)
At some point, when dealing with Karens and Chads, you have to admit to yourself there's no dialogue. There's no talking to these parasites. Start giving orders for them to GTFO, and when the childish don't listen, get security or even the cops.
I agree trying to argue with a Karen or a Darren is like trying to discuss politics with a brick wall you’re better off either ignoring them or calling security to help you out
Horse thieves used to get hung from the nearest tall 🌲 tree.
Here in Texas horse stealing and cattle rustling is a crime that you can be hung for although we don't do that anymore its on the books technically
Well I feel special. The Fluffness loves us 😍
Yeah horse theft is a really big deal here in Florida
You have a great voice ,you sound like you’re having so much fun!
Horse theft is still a federal capital crime so technically you could get the death penalty
I hope the farmer was made to stump up for a new pickup...
These stories make my day, keep them coming
Would have loved to have been in the shop when they heard about the damage to the truck, lmao.
Isn't there a law in Florida that States that you can't you can't leave your giraffe tied up to a lamppost
Every new video is my commute to work, and is always entertaining.
So funny, I really had this video playing on a saturday, what a coincidence.
Five years in prison is better than being shot for horse theft!
While there were quite a few lynchings by vigilantes for stealing horses, there was never any law on the books that it was a capital crime. It definitely was a crime and would result in time behind bars, but no court that I've been able to find ever issued a death sentence for the crime of horse theft.
Concerning the last story, if someone says they work there and are reporting for their shift and claims they are going to be late if delayed, the security guard has a duty call the manager to confirm. If the person really doesn't work there then "I don't appreciate being played. Don't even bother to get in line, just leave." Had I been the manager I would have told the security guard, "Since you made him late, he'll be getting full pay. I'll deduct the time he was late from your check."
All things considered, five years for horse theft is not so bad. It used to be a capital offence. (AKA they'd hang ya)
I'd vote for that. And service animals- you steal one of those, killings to good for ya.
@@grannysweet If you ask me, that should apply to anyone who steals or harms any pet. Naturally, the same applies to people who harm or kidnap children as well as anyone who victimizes senior citizens.
In the old days, if you steal a horse, they would hang you from the nearest tree!
Horse theft, cattle theft, etc is unfortunately very common. There are men in Texas prisons for both crimes.
Here in Florida punishment for horse theft is death by hanging. Punisherment for being arrested as a Karen: enjoy old sparky.
Horses cost a lot, to buy, and to keep up.
I was almost arrested for trespassing on a farmer's field when I was riding a horse at camp
There are places where 5 years in prison for horse theft would be a good thing. If you try that in some places you'd get shot
Horse theft happens a lot in Florida, some villains slaughter them and sell the meat illegally.
First story: good thing linching laws weren't in effect.
In the 2nd story the boss was being too vague about her options.
A) Buy stick of RAM to improve reliability or B) Pay for maintenance now for half fixed product.
There's no option C so he might as well not explain it.
In all fairness to the Boss, I'm pretty sure that explaining her options might just as well as been talking in Greek to this customer. All she heard was that she had to buy something to get her laptop to work again. additional expenses often irritate customers unfortunately.
