They are doing a great job, but if they don’t hurry I may need to put them on my Christmas list. Not related to the crushing, I am having a rash of thefts at the salvage. It may be a sign of tougher times ahead. I usually just consider theft as a cost of doing business. The same people that steal from me would think nothing of shoplifting at Alva’s Mar...
