His other videos are good, esp the servo assist dartboard.
Before you invest too much time and effort in building a case, perhaps talk with your local prosecutor to see what they would do with such a case, even neatly tied up. Of course you can always pursue civil remedies against the individual driver. If this is as widespread as you suggest perhaps a class action, but if these are all subcontractors that would be difficult to corral into one single group.mediatechnology wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2020 10:01 amI'm inspired by this video.billshurv wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2020 4:32 amFor anyone who has a package stolen this should make you smile

If I sent a package from myself to myself and setup the Fedex driver for theft then I would have standing to file a criminal complaint.
90+% if the time I'd likely just get what I sent but when it finally does get stolen the GPS tracking and video would make it worth it.
Of course do not shoot anybody, other than with your camera. That occurred to me as well since the Dallas County DA has "decriminalized" shoplifting and won't prosecute below a certain dollar level. I've heard numbers ranging from $500 to $6000.Before you invest too much time and effort in building a case, perhaps talk with your local prosecutor to see what they would do with such a case, even neatly tied up.
It's a deliberate engineered collapse.
I don't assume bad intent for things that can be explained away by ignorance and incompetence.
As I feared (predicted) the wrong size part arrived again....JR. wrote: ↑Tue Jan 28, 2020 12:10 pmNow almost 2 weeks later my sump pump is still out of service (and crawl space still flooded). Today the second discharge hose adapter fitting arrived and it was the wrong size... I clearly ordered a 1.25" diameter fitting, but they sent me a 1.5" diameter fitting. arghhhh
This is probably $0.20 worth of plastic that I gladly paid $7 for to get my sump pump working again. I pinged the vendor and they replied don't measure it with a tape measure, and try it on the pump... DOH..... I tried it on the pump before I measured it with a machinist scale (metal ruler).
Now for some extra nonsense instead of just discarding this $0.20 worth of plastic, amazon has issued a UPS pick up ticket to pickup this wrong size connector. I expect even with the hugely profitable $7 retail price, even Amazon will not profit from this order, and I still do not have the correct adapter yet.
I figure there is a 50/50 chance I get the wrong part again.
