Default Almost became a thief today...

walking across campus after a final and I walk by large group of cylinders a truck had dropped off on the sidewalk. Two men with a dolley would load one on, take it into the building, then come out for another one.

I didn't really think much of it until I walked by and saw they were huge cylinders of nitrous. There were 7-8 of them just sitting there. You guys can't even imagine the thoughts running through my head. Who needs morals anyways?

That would have been funny if they came out and saw a guy dragging a 225+lbs cylinder full of nitrous across the parking lot. lol.

No. Believe it or not I actually wish we did because we seriously had somewhere around 10 girls get raped on or right near campus last year.

Hell no. I'd fireman's carry it the 40 or so yards and drop it off behind the dumpster there, to return in a little while if no one found it.

Shouldn't be too much worse than going scuba diving with twin steel tanks and an alumium stage bottle, or front squatting 405lbs.

I'd make the school paper's "Police Beat". Lol, I've always wanted to be in it, and trying to escape with a lifetime's supply of laughing gas wouldn't be a bad way to do it.

The real mystery is, what are they doing with all that nitrous on your campus. Find that out, get close to whomever has access to the nitrous and voila...........free refills.

Wow, I can't believe you would even think about stealing someone's things like that! What happened to people's morals these days.

Get off your high horse. He was joking around. Do you think if he was actually going to steal a tank he would post about it on the internet?

I'm assuming it was medical grade for some sort of medical department on campus.

I worked in a lab at my university for a while and we could order whatever gases we needed. We always had 10+ of those containers filled with whatever (C02, O2, etc..) I always wanted to order a giant nitrous container just to see if anyone said anything.
