Rod H Wrote:By "milk lugs" you mean crates like these?Yeah that's it exactly. Except mine were the real deal from back in my college days. I erm... 'liberated' a few of them from the back dock of a local Kroger about 20 years ago.
... What? I was a starving college student and I was moving from place to place a lot in those days. I needed a way to just pick up and go, quick. I guess I could've gotten rid of them and gotten real shelves. But they're like a comfortable pair of old sneakers. *shrug* Did I mention I was poor? (Ok, and lazy. And I noticed them, and they were just -sitting- there, looking lonely... and now I've lost a few of them. 'snif' )
As to the "certain criminal type" I think my dad may have the right idea. The bastards may have been looking for drugs. Too bad for them I've never touched anything like that. No really. Never. The closest I've ever gotten was eating some "marijuana brownies" back in the day at a party. All that did was make me hungrier later. (I just never could fathom the whole "let's inhale toxic burning acrid smoke into our lungs and alter our perceptions - for FUN!" thing. I mean - WHAT?)
Oh. And the windowpane in question is only about 6-8 inches across. Might be fairly easy to replace. The locks might be expensive though. Guess I'll have to see.
Oh, and thanks, guys.
(Heh. Toe-rag. I must remember that.)
