Don't leave your stuff where others can mess with it. That's fairly basic. Then, don't leave it out in temperature extremes. If it's a mech mod, learn Ohm's Law.
Just as people minimized their risks by not asking me for cigarettes, minimize your risks by taking care of your stuff.
*hears whining voice of today's generation* "Oh, you mean I have to be responsible? That's a big no way!"
Still recalling a conversation with a teacher in our schools. She said the teachers do attempt teaching children responsibility, choices, consequences. Then, she explained teachers were told by the county education board all that fell to the parents.
These are the same parents terrified of handing out discipline. Little Sally has got a cell phone after all. It only takes one reported allegation of child abuse. Yes there is a difference, a great wide chasm of it, between abuse & discipline. Does not matter in the slightest though.
These same parents though are also the same people that voted on having a Nanny State. Child Protective Services hears little Sally's call, the parents know it's over, CPS will take the kid/s. It's much the same today as it was in the time leading to the world wars with Nazi Germany. The State would take ownership of the children.
In all transparency, I do not have nor will I ever have human children. Bad enough someone was prick enough to have gotten some critter kids of ours taken from us. We got told we had been abusive, neglectful. Everyone else in our local area knew a lot better. We even got called "weird". Can you just imagine, us weird? *chuckles* Took that as high praise.
Someone was just being a prick to be a prick. Still think it was a ploy by them to get more land. *smh* My point beAs a Ludite way back when I tried telling them wheat thrashing machines were evil.ing, ... people now are not the stuff people were once made from. Excuse me, off to find sporks, rubber bands, silly putty, bread ties, a 9 volt, chewing gum wrappers, super glue, Comet.
