SiSePuede419 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Another rich <deleted> in California who wants grass so his estate looks like it's in England. So what if he's out of touch with reality? Maybe he can run for President on the Republican ticket. Being a selfish, greedy <deleted> is considered an advantage there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeap, the rich thinking they can do anything with impunity....same the world over. The thing is, the guy committed robbery yet can do a "settlement." I guess when you're a rich celeb in the USA, you don't have to even bother with getting arrested and going to court/prison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably called someone who advertised water delivery and paid them to do just that. A typical journalist would ignore the fact that it was someone else that stole the water and use the name of someone that was well known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reptile91602 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I must be famous. I grew up around the corner from his family. One of his younger brothers was my coach in little league and the youngest was the pianist in a band we had in 7th grade. His sister was the girl friend to one of my good friends in high school. She was quite nice as was all the family. I never met Tom as he was a bit older than the rest. So much for reminiscing. I'm sure no one here cares.

casualbiker Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Tip for them ...padlock at $1.99!!!Tip for you .... a cheap padlock is easily broken. In which case it's a clear cut case of theft. No! Some people will take the water believing it to be OK as it's open. With a padlock it would obviously be theft! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The story is about a lawsuit not about criminal charges.

slapout Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 our drinking water on the farm was rain water caught and stured in a ciswtern. in drought years the cisten supply was depleted by june so we hauled water via a tank on the farm truck and filled the cistern . this process was repeated aas required. our source was a water hyydrant conected to city water system near a pumping station. a clipboard was hun on a pole and you could write down name each loaq you picked up and a final accounting may or may not be made, depended if clipboard survived the wear and tear. you might have a couple dozen farmers in same situation. there was no metering until several years later a cityfied accountant had one installed as tanks varied in size, trips, etc. the tanker numbers and time frame (2 years) would not handle much of a lawn area in california heat, lots of questions , use, amount in total, etcsounds like our citified afccountant wanting to be in charge of something for a time and he went after the big name as news reporters would follow.. maybe publicity to run for county assayer????
