      What AL should have is called the Police asap n showed the video to them n they probably
      would have caught the thief. I had a weed eater stolen to many yrs ago. I did get mad but i just
      had to go buy another one asap. It really bugs me that people steal like that SCUMBAGS that's
      what they are. KARMA will come to them sooner or later.

He needs to be off the streets and you will be doing a good thing by trying to make that happen. He will undoubtedly do it again to others, maybe even break into homes.

    Al, even in the face of adversity, you're still so incredibly forgiving. You overcame that initial disbelief, disappointment and suppressed anger and even went so far as to say, "Maybe he needed it more than me". He probably didn't because he was scouting to see if he could take as much as he could carry, but you're the better man.
    Ken, your artwork is beautiful and you're as kind and as generous as Al is ❤️.

      That is such a sad statement, but some places have just devolved completely. My mother lives outside of San Antonio, and it’s the same. Even with a locked gate if I am cutting a piece of wood for a small repair I have to carry the circular saw ( about $100 brand new) in the damn house between cuts. She lives right off the interstate and the highway noise is loud enough that you would never hear someone pull up and the blatant criminality is mind boggling. Where I live I can leave my garage door open all day with a huge tool chest and never worry. However my neighborhood is quiet and I have 2 dogs who bark at everything.

      That’s why Karma is a great thing, Al helps people and communities regularly at his cost and his labour, and asking nothing in return, sure he may make a couple bucks from you tube videos, but that’s just more work for him, filming, editing etc…
      That’s why we see so many people donating to Al after the theft (where he says “I hope they needed it more than me”) and Karma will come into play for the person that stole a weed eater from someone who give up their own time to help others. God Bless Al and others like him that still help others not for profit, but because it makes them feel good to help others who may be less fortunate, and or going through health issues.

    • @Rpm6971

      I’m also guessing that Al probably purchased another weed eater before receiving any money from the very generous people that wanted to help a kind person that helps others. I’m sure any money he receives from people will go right back into equipment or gas to continue to keep helping people for free.
