Art2ro Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 (edited) Dave West, age 67 -- what a douche bag! Had all his "eggs" in one basket -- how convenient! 67? Isn't there a saying, that when one gets up in years, one gets smarter and wiser? I guess the old fart missed the boat when common sense and or wisdom was being passed around! :dance: Edited August 28, 2011 by Art2ro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve & Myrlita Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Sorry but even though he was careless, I will not make fun of his misfortune. For by the grace of God go I. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Hounddriver Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 I have a problem with what both did. Would you pick up a stray dog that you know is hungry and yet keep a steak in your pocket expecting the dog not to go for it? And a dog is man's best friend. It has been stated countless times not to wear flashy jewelry to advertise you are a mark. He didn't listen. She couldn't restrain herself. I have no sympathy for either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been stated countless times here and on other forums (and other places) but maybe he's not a member. Maybe he just got off the boat. Yes, he should of known better at his age to trust a stranger and to get drunk. He was careless and stupid so I guess he deserves to be ridiculed and called stupid old fart and the like. It's a lesson that can never be repeated often enough but let's not forget who the criminal is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
