I knew a guy I went to high school with, that was supporting himself on stealing cat convertors, but this was a few years back, he said it was risky cuz of the noise in cutting them out. I never really looked into it, but seems like there would be a silent way to cut that metal pipe. He claimed he got about $100. from scrap yards, but this year all local scrap yards teamed up with police, due to all the copper theft, and really happened after thieves hit a old church, and took 4 solid copper downspouts, that were said to be worth about $30K...seems a bit high to me, but who knows LOL. Now, whenever someone goes to a scrap yard, they must hand over their ID and the scrap yard makes a copy of it and basically keeps a file on you, and keeps track of every time you come in, what you bring in, etc. They always find a way to ruin somebodies good thing!!! lol
Thanks for the advice. It's just hard to get motivated to do those things. On a positive note I've discovered that for about 5 days after not using I go through really severe depression and lethargy but after that I return to normal and start doing things again. I haven't learned a new language yet but I'm feeling good and being active.
You have never been dope sick Writer. It is easy to have that attitude with non-addictive drugs. But if you were you might find yourself changing your mind about that.
I've been supporting a small heroin habit for over a year now. Lately I've been doing it a few times every week or two (tolerance is a bitch) but its fucking winter and its too cold to do anything else. I've never gotten withdrawals and I have a well paying job so I don't have to spend an entire paycheck on dope. None of my friends do it and they would probably think I'm some crazed cracked out addict if they found out. Maybe if I hung out with a different crowd and had fewer job prospects I'd be a different story.
fizzy, sorry for the neg rep. seemed like you were suggesting stealing cat. converters, but after reading the previous page, i see that you were just joking. still a dick thing to do though. but sorry for the Red rep you got 'cause of me...
