/diy/ - Do It Yourself

They are like that. Be me, working 12hr days and couldn't keep my yard up.

>I had a kid doing yard work off and on for a year. He used my tools.
>He told me one day, I got enough money to buy a tablet and play cards so I don't want to work any more...
>Anyway, time passes, yard is a mess. Some random culturally enriched man came by and offered to do the job for twice the price. He had his own tools.
>OK, sure.
>He does an ok job. Not as good as the kid but whatever.
>He gets paid. He gave me hand written business cards. Asks me for references.
>Just a few weeks later. I am home sick. He busted my shed open and started loading my shit into his little S10.
>I came out and asked him "Hey what's up?" and he ran with my weed wacker in hand.
>Called cops, gave them the business card. Said it is a theft and I want it charged as such.
>Got all my tools back same day.
>Month later he shows up at my house and says "I can't get any work and you were always the nicest person to me. You think I could do one cleanup? I won't ever bug you again."
>I look at him straight with out raising my voice "Get the fuck outta here."
