Re: @#!&%# Grrrr
I can relate! I had been looking for my combo wrench/screwdriver that came with my chainsaw all winter. A week or two ago during
a cold spell I pulled out one of my old work coats and low and behold that wrench was in the pocket!

Yep, the concrete jungle has some pretty ruthless people in it.
I wonder who was filming this? Clearly it was a person (not a security camera) because it followed him and zoomed in and out. They are not much better than
the perp by not helping in some way?
