[@bigchungus3901]

Add trackers bro my truck was stolen in 2021 from the parking lot, tracked it down, and found it at a trailer park guy was in the process of removing the welding machine I called the cops to follow me and they arrested the guy on the spot

[@osbaldohernandez9174]

Trackers and kill switches

[@harrold901]

Damn! I feel for you man! It's a shame people can't work for theirs!

[@Mexicaweightlifter]

Definitely a punch in the gut feeling, walking out to your truck or car being stolen . Keep up the grind bro 💰👍

[@TheWeldLab]

[@oscarayala901]

Sorry to hear what happened. Add couple dummy box's for your tags, but most importantly add a kill switch to your truck.

[@TulanePass]

How’s the kill switch on the newer vehicles?

[@jgrey9088]

Everything happens for a reason, the way you grinding out shines the negative set back that happend to you dude. You gonna come back bigger in a better way, keep it pushing bro.

[@jonathantorres9604]

[@CesarHuerta-ih7oj]

That’s horrible. Hope recovering tools and all isn’t too long.

[@AlexNH56]

[@codywallace6948]

[@justinburdick2000]

Ohhh BTW yall yea im from s.e TX too, their paying $55hr/$140 in newport news,VA for singlehand pipewelders

[@moonlambo5229]

Just found your channel. Thanks for making all these videos.

[@oldlincolnpipewelder]

I think it’s a safe bet to assume that looking for a stolen welding ring in Houston, Texas is about as hard to find a gay dude in short shorts in San Francisco… I know that doesn’t help you look for it, but I hope it made you smile 😜 Best of luck finding her brother.

[@TheWeldLab]

😂😂

[@Royalewitchee]

glad ur back

[@TheWeldLab]

Thanks homie

[@scrapmanindustries]

I used to ride dirt bikes down in Texas a lot. I left it in the bed of my truck all the time and never had any problems elsewhere in Texas. (Ft. Hood, Killeen, Austin.) the first time I brought it to Houston I had a bike lock around the frame hooking it to the stake pocket in my truck. Dang thieves stole my kickstarter. Didn’t stop me from riding the next day but sure pissed me off.

[@brandongarcia5112]

My boi is back 🙌🫶

[@johnnyggarza2329]

Damn sorry to hear that dawg. Thats what scares me the most is gettin my sh*t stolen. I was told welding rigs were a hot commodity in Houston. Theyll sit back and camp on ur rig n wait for the right time. Scandalous mf. Keep ur head up bro and do what u do, stay on that grind!👌🏼

[@mikejones-nd6ni]

Always hide a couple GPS in ur equipment

[@davidhagerman7165]

I hope you get it back or your insurance covers it. That is a lot of money to lose and on top of that you cannot make a living. I was a pipeline welder in the 70's I work in Colorado, Wyoming and Kansas.

[@bgs4896]

Damn I know that hurts people do know what it takes to put a truck together

[@laloeluis]

Saludos Rico alrato agarras otra I mejor glad everything is going good bro

[@TheTradesProfessor]

Damn bro that sucks, I live close to that area and they got me for my motorcycle and my truck the same year!

[@TheTradesProfessor]

BTW recovered both with airtags.

[@jotk9440]

Head up my man.

[@Hardstyler981]

I remb when i saw you vid abt what type of dualy to get...now you cant even do that cuz they go for like 67k for a used one. Thanks to ppl that buy 2500/250 series plus just to look "good"😐

[@narutobleach3434]

Anotha dope ass vid, keep it up blood 🤙🏾

[@kabadiyajoseph]

Good work brother

[@jimgrady7458]

Sucks about the rig. Hope it gets replaced soon. 👍

[@CesarHuerta-ih7oj]

Better times will come after this little stumble yeah it hurts been there . Got my truck back bt also my tools be gone.

[@DirtyGarageTx]

They can’t look for a stolen truck but can go around pulling ppl over for petty stuff

[@kuerno832]

You can get one thru auction way cheaper than paying dealer prices f paying 60k when you can get one for 20k or more used

[@sparksmobilerepair4025]

Get that money buddy!!

[@HtxBuzz]

Ravelco I don't believe they lost a vehicle yet

[@osbaldohernandez9174]

Man I hate people that steal from hard working individuals

[@jotk9440]

Pretty low to steal a man's tools

[@beto55987]

Those are hard to steal without a key only way to take it is with with a key programmer

[@nicholastorres8133]

Anybody from chat or weld lab. I’m from Texas and I’m interested in getting myself in this field. What is a good school that I can go too to learn. I’m between tws & hcc.

[@perc3136]

I went to a community college and got in for free off the grants they offer

[@METALMUNCHERS77]

Been there it hurts

[@PedroGonzalez-tb9ys]

Ay can I practice at your shop for a test

[@Texmexpride]

I think a student did it my be I could be wrong

[@kimwatchman644]

You need to report your weld machine as stolen to the welding shops. Give them the serial numbers. They have a major data base. Where their supposed to keep it on file and it let's any welding dealers or repair shops that it is stolen! Once they have your machine, they can not give it back to the current people. Cuz its stolen.

[@theweldspecial5164]

All this money in rigs. An no one installs a tracking system. Come on now.

[@michaelcegueda5037]

Does your welding school accept Final Aid?

[@IVRessurect]

Oh did you want it back already?

[@tomasalvarado207]

😎👍

[@dingdingdingbitch6526]

dang, Imagine getting your lively hood being ripped from your hands like that.

[@perc3136]

Damn thats fucked up bro

[@ceez1992]

Trackers are fine. What you need is a proper kill switch. Easy to install and you can do it yourself. That police inaction is what you get when you defund the police. Enjoy

[@Hardstyler981]

Nah its been like that here they would only actually "work" when it came to stopping innocent ppl n giving tickets nvr sum1 that was shooting back

[@Hardstyler981]

Other democrat cities are worse atleast here we can shoot ppl back here

[@spar1993]

Why can't you just run an older truck?
