theft
In common usage, theft is the taking of another person's property or services without that person's permission or consent with the intent to deprive the rightful owner of it. The word is also used as an informal shorthand term for some crimes against property, such as burglary, embezzlement, larceny, looting, robbery, shoplifting, library theft or fraud. In some jurisdictions, theft is considered to be synonymous with larceny; in others, theft has replaced larceny. Someone who carries out an act of or makes a career of theft is known as a thief. The act of theft is also known by other terms such as stealing, thieving, and filching.Theft is the name of a statutory offence in California, Canada, England and Wales, Hong Kong, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, and the Australian states of South Australia, and Victoria.

Young children may not even have an allowance yet, but thieves can make a lot of money off their identity.
Criminals can grab children's information in the real world or online—most crucially, the Social Security number—and then use it to open a line of credit, using whatever address or bank...
Finally a common sense bill (IMHO) which we need to be supporting. Its time we let those who represent us know what we want, both pro and con.

Wage theft takes more from us than property theft every year, but it hardly ever gets mentioned. Defend yourself accordingly folks.

For those of you who think all cops are good guys and they will just let me off if I have a brace on my pistol or whatever, they aren't all good guys. Sounds like an organized theft ring to me.

This article - at first read - seems to highlight some common ground between the anti's and responsible firearm owners. I did find some things debatable, but lots of it mirrors my own thoughts. How about yours?
Auburn police said that shortly before 6:30 a.m., the suspect got into a Toyota Camry that was left running and tried to steal it from the driveway.
The homeowner, who was inside, saw what was happening on his security cameras and then ran outside, confronted the suspect and then shot the man...
This irritates the heck out of me!
I sold an 1885 vintage pistol gripped Ballard to a friend in Montana. Sent it USPS Priority Mail on Sept. 1st, and it went from my local station to the Portland, Or. main distribution center. At that point it seemed to vanish, and no sign it ever left the...
My HVAC went belly up about the end of JUNE. No heat/AC ... nuttin! I have had the repair folks out here to service and repair the outside compressor. The first time was for a small electric component that went bad. OK fixed that. It ran for awhile and then it would not cool the house and...
Officers have seen a spike in a specific type of car theft they say may be inspired by a TikTok tutorial.
The popular social media app trend shows potential thieves how to steal Kia vehicles using a USB drive or cable and other tools in place of a key.
Seattle police say they investigated 36...
I have a nice but older diesel pickup, no integrated chip on the key. I need to get off my butt and put in a kill switch to mitigate the risk of theft.
I did a bit of research and assume I'll probably want a solid, 30-amp switch.
Anyone done it before? Thoughts, or things you'd do...
When self driving tractor trailer rigs become a reality, do you think we will see an explosion of cargo theft from the trucks. The trucks will likely come to a stop when presented with thieves roadblocks. It will be easy pickings on the lonely highways out there...
Wife just received word from her employer, (local elementary school), they now have the balls to go into a school parking lot and steal during the day. Happened to her coworker this morning. Most of us know it's an ongoing trend. But this feels like a new level. Especially for a smaller town.
This has been a December from Hell for Dave & Michele Nielsen at South Ridge Arms in Edgewood. First they lose their home to a fire, though thankfully everyone, the animals and even the Christmas presents got out okay, and then if that wasn't enough some @$$holes in stolen truck smash their...
My son-in-law's gun safe filled with .223/5.56 ammo was broken into. A fellow named Louie was drinking with son-in-law's 73 year old step-mother where the safe has been since son-in-law's dad passed away, and she gave him a crow bar to pry open the safe. He took all the ammo! A LOT of ammo...
When I was married, thanks to my ex-wife's horrible handling of finances, my FICO score never got above 650 or so in twenty years. Never had a single issue with identity theft or fraud.
Now that I've been divorced a few years and managing my finances like an adult, my score is in the upper...
