Ida threatens Saturday's last preseason game- Game Canceled - Louisiana in the cone

So during the night, wake up at 2am to discover my alarm going off on my laptop realizing the generator was no longer running that I'd refueled at 10pm...

Had to have a bay door up about three feet to allow my hardworking generator to ventilate outside; 17+ gls of fuel was stolen, plus what was in the generator...

Perp(s) were unable to take the generator as it's secured with a 3/4 inch (dia) steel cable; fortunately perp(s) missed one remaining fuel tank in back of me truck...

So, despite being awaken, was able to continue on with auxiliary power; this morning I discovered fuel was also siphoned from my second truck parked out front...

Then, agitated from being robbed of fuel (fuel and water are life right now here in Terrebonne And Lafourche) as well as the merciless heat, another discovery...

Perp(s) had taken over $2K in Milwaukee Tools and HiCap batteries (and I'd negotiatied a deal on the batteries at $65 (retail $125) with a volume purchase)...

So now when mornings started with rolling out at 5am with me pups and fuel tanks in search of fuel like a post-apocalyptic Mad Max experience, now this...

So in harsh heat today, rigged a ventilation fanned duct so the No. 3 bay door can be secured; now, another treat...

I've got to set random times during the night to wake up and patrol the perimeter of the building/property as rats (two-legged variety) are gnawing on steel panels...

There's folks in way worse shape than me, but it's tough not to be super agitated with looters and thieves nipping at you during the night...
