That’s one way to do it,Flu. Some people wouldn’t or can’t take private business around their work places.
I was giving away and selling some big and small things I don’t need, including a car that a neighbor gave me.
The obvious early stages of casing happened with building materials and the free firewood. I let two people know that I knew what was happening and that they would fail and never heard from them again. Rather avoid those confrontations though.
