Saw this yesterday, the guy has it together. Drives his small MH to a park and ride lot and sits under the awning all day watching the cars in the lot, with gas thieves here it's needed. Guy has a donations bucket, says he averages about $140 a day, mostly singles with a five now then. He has his cell phone, digital camera, bathroom, fridge for munchies, TV/Radio and an income. Police came by while I was there, cops knew him and liked having him there, said just his presence kept problems from happening.

I wonder if he rides with his cousins, Smith and Wesson?

I didn't ask and he didn't tell, but I don't see that as a good idea, I wouldn't want bullet holees in my car.

He does have extra chairs and a friendly wave when you come in. My guess is that for most crooks just moving on is easier.

I knew there had to be any easy way to make some extra gas $$$!!! A group of friends could take turns/days and everyone would benefit!!!

12 GA would be better, the pellets might leave a dent but they wont penetrate unless really close up. My .45 will leave a hole.
