You really didn't have to put race into the equation of your stolen lawn mower. Mexicans are people too.

Okay, let's start taking out adjectives from all of our sentences, let's see how bland and non-specific all conversation and writing becomes.

One easy way to tell is that Spanish don't look like Mexicans.

Just leave the garage open next time they are there. Place a 5 gallon can of gas w/sugar and a video camera.

Do not call the cops until they have had a chance to use your gas.

Put enough sugar in it to clog the fuel filter, otherwise it'll be harmless.

Now don't turn this thread into a pointless flame war :beer:
But aren't they all theives.....I mean, aren't they?

I simply trust nobody, thats how I see it. I lock my doors even when I'm driving through the country in the middle of nowhere, I just trust nobody. Paranoia FTW! Sorry to hear your lawn mower got stolen, I'd simply not trust people you don't know from now on which means locking ****** up.

They could have been from Guatamala or Nicaragua.......

You're SOL buddy. Why do you even care? It was broken. Were you going to get it fixed?

For the record if it was a white guy you wouldn't have used the race. Either way, I would have explained it like you did.
