Instead of calling the sheriff or even the kid's parents he asked him why he was stealing. Well obviously no money, but he wanted to do things that take money. He gave him a lecture about feeling better about himself using money he earned, and he gave the kid a job doing chores around his place. Stuff stopped disappearing.Couple kids jumped a berm on the alfalfa field to my south in their jeep and high centered one day. They asked me for some help. I fired up the tractor, and brought some shovels. I told them I'd only pull them out if they agreed to reshape the berm before they left. After they were gone I called a pro farmer buddy of mine to find out who owned the field, and called him to let him know what happened and that he might want to take a look before the next time he irrigated. Don't even remember his name.I made them agree to fix the berm with shovels because I was hoping to convince them to do their drinking at home or camp out in the desert like me and my buddies did when we were younger. If you camp out you go don't go home until you've slept, because the next time you might wind up in the canal instead of a field. I doubt I had any impact, but I tried.
