I live on a two lane rural road that’s marked 45mph, yet gets a fair amount of traffic. I pasted two legit FOR SALE signs one on each side of a canoe with my phone number and a really fair price for a great condition OldTown Guide canoe. So sits the canoe, off the edge of my drive, near the road.
I commence to clearing trees in a dense part of my side yard and talked to 3 nice people interested but no takers.....I see cars pull in from where I’m cleaning up brush about 50 yards away but nobody notices me until I walk out of the woods. Some pull in and pull out, some take pictures, and some pick the damn thing up and try to put it in their truck for sale signs and all. First dude pulls in does the 360 degree head look and twist, picks it up puts it in his bed and I come out of the woods full on F’bombing him asking if he seen the two for sale signs taped to the canoe and the price of 200$??? He says “ohhh man I really didnt notice them I thought u had it out for the trash”...... I yank the boat out of his truck and he leaves. An hour later another pickup pulls in, same damn situation but this time when I come out to talk to him he sees me and jumps in his truck and hammers out of my drive my canoe sitting on middle of driveway. Jesus guys, I figured I’d be able to clear brush and run my saws close enough that I didn’t have to chain the canoe to a tree but nope too many POS’s out there these days. Shaking my head.
