[SEL] Engine Parts - The Gig on the Dig

[bgrimley at bellsouth.net]

 Everyone sure needs to be vigilant these days - some scrap thieves were "investigating" my place a few months ago - departed just before I arrived - don't think they got much other than a heavy copper cable, but have since posted the property to facilitate their arrest if I ever see them.  Also alerted the neighbors. Believe those persons have since been arrested over some other copper theft.  Tommy has got to move fast if scrappers get wind of the amount laying around that place.
