    Gem county. I was in Star at the time, just as it drops from 35 to 25. He was sittin on the side of the road watchin the abondoned houses. They're serious out there! I guess people have been stealin from those houses, takin the wiring and all that.

    I pick up quite a bit of free junk from Craigslist. A few of them are curb alerts. They won't like me hassling them for paperwork, nor would I bother to get it.

    Gem County would have been my second guess. I have no personal experience, but hear they are pretty hard on people.

    Agreed. The Sheriff was pretty dang nice though everything considered. I wasnt wearing my seatbelt, and we were speeding a bit, so if he wanted too he could of ticketed us.

    Just for the record: We were going to a house to pick up a freezer i believe, forgot now. But the guy had a BUNCH of other stuff for us to take. We werent pickin stuff up from the side of the road, or strippin old houses or anything.
