ST need your help with a Bottle Theif!

So near the start to my runs is a patch of grass with trees and a traffic light, I always drop a bottle of Endurox in a high patch of grass next to the sidewalk. Well it seems that someone sees me and has now stolen 3 bottles!! Now after 8 miles in 100% humidity and 88+ degree heat all I want when I finish is my Endurox and some water and some prick keeps stealing my bottles.

So im thinking of messing with them. I am looking for recommendations on what to put in the bottle. I think laxative, mom suggested rat poison lol, something to make them throw up?.. ideas please lol.

What I dont get is WHY WOULD YOU STEAL SOMEONES BOTTLE!!!?? is that how pathetic we have become in this country that we need to steal peoples drinks when they go off to train!!

I’m guess little punk kids who want the bottles. I doubt the theif is drinking the contents.

Someone out there is pissed at some asshole who keeps littering bottles out their car window every weekend. People are so lazy. I mean, how can he expect someone to keep picking up after him all the time. This person is at the moment planning on how to get back at you.

:wink:

Not many little punks in the area but damn dude 3 bottles!! someones gotta see me go off or something. Maybe if i put it in a tree?? dude if they take it from a tree then someones watching or something cuz damn 3 bottles! 1-2 i didnt mind but damn the money adds up when your a college student

LOL well my next bottle will be in one of the trees, if it gets stolen from there then im declaring war. Hopefully they dont drink it but if they do then the doctors office will be their next stop!!

Sounds like you need a fuel belt. They may look ridiculous but you won’t have to deal with this any more.

No because I dont drink during my runs, I can go 10-12 miles without drinking and not have a problem at all. My longest run right now is 10 so i dont worry about hydration during the run.

How about a note on the bottle that says “please don’t take my bottle, I will be right back”
.

Why not try a sting operation? Put your bottle out like normal, and then park your car nearby with some binoculars and wait. Catch the little prick (or nice elderly lady) in action.

Nice idea, but why not leave it to the professionals. Hire a PI.

Rub something really gross on the outside of the bottle. They may never know what they’ve touched, but you will, and thats all that counts.

How about leaving the bottle at home or in your car. Surely the extra 30 seconds or whatever it takes to get to that spot isn’t going to kill you.

If they were clever, instead of stealing the bottles they would have add laxative to it and tape you run. That would have made a great you tube video!

Hook it up to some sort of pressure plate so it works like a land mine and vaporizes (or at least mames) them when they try to steal the bottle. Just don’t forget you did this if you return from your run and the bottle is still there. It could end badly for you;-)

Well, cause that costs money. Doing it yourself is free. But either approach would work I think.

Can you tell I’m still a broke college kid, even two months after graduation? :wink:

if you want to be vindictive, here is what you do. Go to the drug store, and get a bottle of the saline solution you have to drink before getting a colonoscopy. Within 10 minutes( if they drink it). somebody will be shitting thier brains out.

I am actually thinking of doing that, with a permanent marker writing on the bottles. I have a feeling it wont stop them though because if they see me leave then they see me arrive which means they dont give a shit. But yes your idea came to mind and will be given a shot tuesday afternoon/night

LMFAO now that would definitely make a classic youtube video! but clearly the culprit is not that smart

So heres the plan LOL… come tuesday im gonna set up a bottle with something that smells like ass(your idea,idk what yet) and also put saline solution(ejohns idea) on the inside. If they drink it they will never touch my bottle again lol.

Worst come to worst I will pull Brians system and hope they get really hurt lol

your not the only poor college student!! im surviving off a part time job and financial aide lol
