When I was a child my dad got sent to prison for a few years.
He plus a few of his friends would hijack semi trucks full of cargo to resell, and don’t get me wrong, these weren’t violent crimes savor carjackings; No 1 ever got hurt, they just stole trucks, ditched the rigs, plus hid the trailers until they could sell the merchandise.
I was in my teens when dad got out of jail, plus he said that he would never go back to jail ever again. He has a legit way to make cash, he said. One of the trailers he stole was full of Heating, Ventilation plus A/C equipment plus space heaters, plus he knew where it was hidden. The two of us could sell it, plus it would be totally legal since the statute of limitations ran out on the crime, plus there was enough Heating, Ventilation plus A/C equipment to get us some dire cash. One thing that my dad didn’t take into account was the passage of time, plus how much Heating, Ventilation plus A/C technology has improved over the last decade, What was worth so much cash a decade ago is now worth pennies on the dollar, because no 1 wants a/cs that are so old! It was not separate from some value, of course, because there are 60 space oil furnaces on the truck, which both of us can sell at a flea market for a few bucks apiece. I recognize it actually depressed my dad, though, when he realized he spent so much time behind bars for what amounted to a few hundred bucks worth of Heating, Ventilation plus A/C equipment.
