Buddy of mine came home last night and found his Mimimax had been stolen out of his backyard. It may be wise to lock yours down between cooks with a bike chain/lock or something similar. Small and portable is not always a good thing!

    That blows!!  Hope he gets lucky and the thing is found but I wouldn't hold my breath.

    A guy down the street from me here in Atlanta had his XL stolen out of his yard.  Said his neighbor caught it on camera and it was 4 guys.

    In this politically correct and over sensitive world, my views will probably offend some, but so be it. I absolutely hate a thief. I hope your friend finds out who did it and beats his brains out. In my book, there is no excuse for stealing. If you want something, then go your ass to work and earn the money to pay for it. It's crap like this that really makes my blood boil. 

     Nope, doesn't offend me.  Normally I fit the Canadian stereotype of being overly easy going, but this goes out the window with thieves.  

    A thief should never simply get arrested - there should always be some days spent in the hospital.

    Nothing is worse than a thief. We slap theives on the wrist. The Middle East cuts off that wrist. The Middle East doesn't have a theft problem....

    Agree^^^^^^^ I despise them.

    We slap theives on the wrist.
    Agree^^^^^ That's why they keep on stealing instead of working. 

    The Middle East cuts off that wrist.
    The should^^^^^^ The problem is solved and the punishment fits the crime. 

    The Middle East doesn't have a theft problem....
    Amazing isn't it^^^^^^^ Simply cut off the piece of craps hand and he can't still no more. Problem solved.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    Lead works also!!  Wood shampoo is in reference to a cocobolo night stick doing what it was made for. Thieves are pond scum

    Just a question was the backyard fenced in? I have kept my eggs in the garage until we get a fence at our new house for this reason. People suck. I couldn't believe when we were looking at houses how many people put their eggs in the back yard pics just advertising where to go. I saw lots that were in open backyards with an egg in the listing. Sorry about your friends luck.

    I hate thieves too.  We should waterboard them all for a few months, then execute them slowly and painfully, then pee on their remains, then jail all their family for life, starve them in jail and execute them if they steal vermin for food.  Plus, no minor policy stuff.  Treat kids just like adults.  They should know better.

    That sucks.

    When I got mine, the first question my Dad asked me was "how are you going to secure it?"  I figured a Large weighs enough that it wouldn't be easy to steal, but I hadn't considered four guys making off with it.

    Great, now I need a security camera.

    The cutting the hands off thing seemed sufficient.

    Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.

    I can take apart my XL and have it out of the table and in the SUV in probably under 5 minutes if I needed to. One bolt loosened and carry the dome, then another trip for the insides and a final trip for the base.

    I hear you can leave your wallet on the sidewalk in the Middle East and come back a month later and it'll be right there untouched.

    I think you need to check your hearing or your source.  Crime in the middle east is rampant.  The best deterrent to crime is to have a happy society that thrives.

    My mistake. It is.  I just want to join the popular clique.
