The kids knew if I found out there was hell to pay and you pay double if you get caught lying about it. So it never failed they would come to me and rat themselves out and I would be tolerant and understanding because they did the right thing and that;s all I ever asked - do what's right.
In your case how stupid do you have to be to mess with a truck in Texas?
Lies are an automatic 6 in my house. Screwing with other people's property is a sure seat warmer too.
The reason these people do what they do is there is no REAL deterrent.
Kill a guy do 3 years on a 5 year sentence on 1st conviction.
Stealing has no deterrent. Slap the wrist and send little Johnny home.
His mom and pop don't care because if they did he would have the proper home training and the thought would have never entered his mind.
As long as we have so many liberals this will never change.
Dallas (i believe I am correct) has schools that don't count work not done against the student. What kind of message does that send.
Oh little johnny it's ok we know you are smart but just can't be bothered with home work.
It's time for old world morals and ethics.
Slap little johnny right up side his head in the morning before his feet hit the ground. Because sure as shit he will screw the pooch and you wont be there to correct him. Get his day started right, knowing that if he screws up and gets caught jails a safer place than home cause mom and dad are going to wear that butt out.
My Ex use to whine that I was too strict and she let stuff go. The kids knew if I found out there was hell to pay and you pay double if you get caught lying about it. So it never failed they would come to me and rat themselves out and I would be tolerant and understanding because they did the right thing and that;s all I ever asked - do what's right.
Parents now days don't instill these kinds of values.
One thing my dad said to me when I was about 10; the only thing a man truly owns is his word, his morals and his ethics, everything else can be taken from you.
This is what kids need to be taught today IMO.
Ok, I'll give someone else a turn on the soap box.
PS Shorts sorry they marked your truck.
If it does not come off PM me, I use to own a body shop and have a few tricks.
