I worked in a shop a long time ago, there was a guy with two of those boxes and they were about 30 years older than that one. He had more expensive tools than the rest of us. One night the shop was broken in to and everyone's boxes but his and mine disappeared (mine was bolted to the wall). If they only knew that his was the most expensive in the shop and everyone else had basically spent most of their money on their box and had pretty much HF tools.
It must have been young kids, the shop I worked at got broken into by some young kids. We showed up one morning to the mail slot door pried off and the door opened. We went inside and noticed EVERY TOOL WAS THERE. It was unbelievable, why else would you break into a shop? Turns out it was middle school kids just dickin around.
I lost my tool box because of the Texaco station curse, I want to see that stupid building knocked down sometimes. The story behind my experiences with this place are just unbelievable.
Started in 1999 when we moved to that town and my dad rented it with plans to buy it, with the huge Mormon influence on a non Mormon family's business it never took off.
Next activity inside of it was around 04 when A highschool buddy of mine and his brother rented it and soon lost their ass on it. Thats when I lost my toolbox, I was bored so I was working there on my days off. I showed up one day and their cousin fresh out of prison was using my tools. I was a little pissed so I got my tools out and he offered to buy the box and pay the next day. After that day every time I showed up to collect the cash no one had any idea where he was, after 3 times of that I said **** it.
After that someone else tried to make a business in the Texaco selling tires and soon shut down.
Last big tragedy is literally a tragedy that happen this year. My brothers friend and his partner opened the Texaco and were actually doing well this time. This guys partner pulled out of the shop drunk off his ass in his lifted pickup and t-boned an innocent woman immediately killing her in front of their shop. This dude posted bail by putting up the shop and all the contents and I guess skipped out on his court date since he was looking at some serious prison time. My brothers buddy was out about 4k he invested in the shop plus all of his tools.
