My husband, my son, and my brother-in-law went hunting last weekend.  We have two quads and my BIL has his own quad.  They got home very late and all the quads were on my BIL's trailer and no one felt like unlaoding them, so my BIL took them home with him (they have two acres).  I got a call yesterday saying one of our quads was stolen.  I asked where did they have them?  My BIL took them off the trailer and put them right next to a small three-foot fence that butts up to a pretty major side street.  He stored his own in his garage.  In the past my BIL stored his quads on his back porch.  Apparently, the thieves lifted the small lighter one up and over the fence.  The other one was too heavy so they didn’t steal it.  We had insurance on the heavy one, but not the light one.  We paid $1,700 for it new about three months ago.  Right off before we got an apology or anything, my sister said they won't claim it on their homeowners.  They suggested we lie and say it was stolen here at our house and claim it on ours, but my husband and I do not feel comfortable at all with this and will not do it.

My question is what part in all of this does my BIL play for storing it where it could so easily be stolen?  I wouldn’t think anything about it if that is where they stored their own, but they don’t.  They won't use their homeowners so we are out $1,700.  Neither one of them apologized to me or anything until after I had spoken with my mother who then in turn called them and then they called me apologizing.  In other words, my mother told them to call and apologize. 

I can’t make them pay for it.  I know my husband is partially at fault for being too tired to unload them, but I’m just so frustrated regarding where my BIL stored them.  Yes, they have had their vehicle broken into on that side street and have had a trailer stolen from their driveway, so they should know better.  They also have two acres to store them and the other half of their yard is fenced with a five-foot fence.

I guess we are just out the money and the quad.  Unfortunately, we won't be able to replace it anytime soon.

Sorry to vent.

Thanks for your reply! I'm looking to sign on PT with a company on here. I'll just get my computer upgraded and get a foot pedal, head phones, and some books from my clinic job. I'll get started and see where I go. . . By the way, is there a glossary on here someplace where I can look some terms like "Big 4 experience" and "Acute care" or "ELS experience". I just don't hear those terms where I work.

Good Luck!

DH replaced the empty toilet paper roll last night.

In the 32 years we have been together, this is the first time I can remember him replacing a roll. Please don't tell anyone else because they would probably kick him out of the He Man Club, which all men who don't replace rolls (and that would be 99% of them) secretly belong to.

This is one of those days where, years from now, I will think back about what I was doing when I discovered it. (Sort of like people do with other significant historical events.)

In my world, this is at least as big as discovering a cure for cancer, landing a man on the moon, or discovering life in outer space, so I just wanted to share the good news with you - because, ladies, it proves that there is hope for the rest of you!

Is anyone else into medical mysteries?  I love Robin Cook and Michael Palmer and actually pick up terminology from them.

I also love Ann Rule - she truly does rule - she writes true crime.

I occasionally still read Stephen King and Dean Koontz (only if it's not supernatural - he's really faltered there).

Lisa Gardner is awesome. 

Any other avid readers?

I'm not really one for the classics either though I did like To Kill a Mockingbird.

I haven't read Sue Grafton or Janet Evanovich.  I average at least 40 books a year between true crime, medical mysteries and murder mysteries.  I am also hooked on TV shows like Forensic files, FBI files, Cole Case Files and that show called something "Evil" where the forensic psychiatric examines the minds of serial killers.  What really spooked me was the BTK killer's lack of emotion.  It was just like he was talking about nothing more than an ATM withdrawal.  My husband jokes that I just read true crime and watch those shows because I'm plotting to kill him. 

We actually got HBO solely for the reason of watching this series.  So far it is...okay?  I love the books but the series is not sticking strictly to them, and is changing some things that I don't think should be changed.  However, by itself, I do like the series.  Just hate it when they go from books and change majorly seriously big things!!
