Filling the cylinder with 10w30 down the plug hole loosens everything back up.
Who Locks Their Saws Up

I saw my son's truck parked one day with the keys in it, and I had a real bad feeling come from it. So, I got pretty stern with him not to be doing that anymore. Well; one night after filling up his gas tank for going back up to college, you guessed it. He heard his truck start outside his sisters house, and by the time he reached the passenger door handle the thief dropped it in low from reverse, hit the gas on that 454 and all my son saw was tail lights going off in the dark.

Hidden or cammied on the dash kill switch is a good investment, compared to extra bling rockstar wheels etc that guys do to their rides.
Did he ever get it back?

My saws are behind a big ass steel gate with two padlocks.......and my red bone hound will bite after dark.
He sleeps all day though.

Nope, but my son said the thief had an unusual large head. A few month later the newspaper showed a photo of a man arrested for a series of car thefts, and my son said it sure was a close resemblance.
Steve, nice looking puppy you got there. We got two nice ones now, but my favorite, Thor, passed last year. I used to call him my 75 lb vice grip. Loved kids, but lots of parents would not go near him (had 9 kids 7 & under playing in the back yard with him, at their request, they loved him too). I think some of them even got a kick out of the fact that their parents were afraid of him.
When I used to put the garbage out late at night, he would come out with me, and sit down in the middle of the driveway near the house, look up & down the street, and just stay there as I put the garbage out to the curb. God I miss him!

Had a girl collie, she was small but fast and a good nature with people, I once saw her nipping a deer's heels on a forest track. We had some theiving cacker scum turn up one day to sell some dodgy tools from wherever, they pulled up at the end of the driveway and made to come in but stopped dead, she faced them down with bared teeth and a growl of pure evil. She just knew
I've never locked my saws up. I figure if anyone needs them bad enough to take them, well they needed then worst than me.
Our we do lock our house doors when we are gone, but that's to keep honest people honest.
Car doors never get locked in our area.
In our neck of the woods we know everyone and are friends with everyone. We all look out for each other. All the houses that we can step out of our front yard and see, well there isn't a time where someone isn't home out of the four of us.
The only thing I keep locked up are my guns. That's more for fire protection and because the insurance man told me to. I have guns that have tremendous sentimental value that can't be replaced.
We have zero crime in our neck of the woods. There isn't anyone dumb enough to try, because they know that there isn't anything that's worth loosing their life over.....

I only leave the keys in my trucks here at the house, no where else. I do know better than that. We live one mile off the road in the middle of 400 acres and Nobody comes in here unless we know they are coming...
I have a 100 lb. Malamute and a 50 lb. Husky. They will both watch closely as you take what you want.
To get to the garage you pass the rifle shooting benches, and can see the pistol ranges with steel plate racks.
When you turn in to the road I live on you pass 3 Sheriff's cars.
Come in the other way you go past a State trooper.
Know all the Pawn Shop owners within 30 miles.
Everyone shoots well that lives around here. Most do ok on moving targets.
I don't lock up anything.

I live in an area that has a low crime rate. But, I still take precautions when it comes to locking things up. I don't leave things unsecured or unlocked. I've worked long and hard to obtain the things that I have. They are mine and I plan to keep it that way.
In this day and age of home invasions, even when home during the day or night, I keep the night latch locked on our front security door. When it's time to go to bed, all windows are locked and the dead-bolt on the front security door gets used.
When it comes to vehicles, they get locked when we are out and around (like in parking lots) and at night when we turn in.

My favorite Stihl dealer says that his one watch dog--a German shepherd--is worth a half dozen security alarms.
Crooks must have no balls where you guys live.

I don't rely on my dog to protect anything a big steak or a couple of bullets and the dog is useless
Here they use a sponge with bacon grease and a sedative or poison , a childhood friend lost their collie that way.

Pull that with me if you like but it'll be real easy for the police to identify with the back glass shot out of it...

Hard to identify you once you are wearing the orange jumpsuit you will blend right in. " Hey bubba what you in for? Oh I just shot someone who tried to steal my weed wacker. " I can see the other inmates giving you anything they find lest you kill them.
I try to keep everything locked down. I use a length of 3/8 grade 70 chain and two guarded Master locks in the back of the truck. At home any crooks have to get by 2 cats, 6 chickens, and a soundly sleeping dog, and me. Of course I'm pretty deaf. The biggest deterrent is all the junk in the driveway.
I won't kill anyone stealing my saws and if they're stupid enough to steal my truck I can follow the trail of transmission fluid to the chop shop. I also have the worst house in a really nice neighborhood but there are enough tools in the garage to break into a bank vault.
