It is a thing now. I never leave my vapes ANYWHERE I totally keep them in my purse at all times, or on my person in some way (like hand, and it's nice that a provari makes for a nice weapon/club) because around here, things will get stolen if they aren't nailed down. Fortunately our little community in S. Tucson actually does well, I never fear for my house, because our neighborhood is gun happy (the main place to target practice seems to be the huge wash we have). The nicer neighborhood up the road where we used to live got all the home invasions.... People knew they were mostly unarmed and had the stuff....
BUT, vapes are now prime targets.
I'm sorry to hear it Coastal Cowboy. That is a tremendous shame. The only encounter I have ever enjoyed with a .... head was downtown, after dinner one time when this guy with eyes like saucers came running by and said "Your eyes, I bless your eyes!" then fled. Less than a minute later, a second .... head came by, and stood on his head, while gesticulating his legs wildly.
I felt briefly bemused, but happy that my eyes were blessed, and since I've been doing yoga for some time now, his little headstand was cute. I kind of took it as a blessing from the gods of yoga, to the yoga QUEEN, LOL.
Everything else related to methamphetamine usage has usually involved begging for money and cigarettes. One guy offered to
rehabilitate my headlamps for $12 and I almost went for it as at least he was DOING SOMETHING.
I hope your replacement... No, it's not going to be the same.
Thieves SUCK, they really do.
