If you’re gonna be dumb…

[Doc]

While driving to the gas station, I put 2 - 5 gallon steel safety cans

($115.00 each) in the back , I lifted up the Tonneau, put the cans in the back but neglected to close the tail gate securely. When I got to the gas station, Surprise!….tail gate down and cans were gone…
So,
If you’re gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough….

Good thing they weren't full Doc. Then they'd have been worth $200/each.

Please do tell about gas cans costing that much. I'm very shocked and very sad for you.

Those cans better be bullet proof at that price..

Any luck retracing the route to see if they maybe survived the fall and were sitting on the side of the road?

shoot i bet someone nearly had a wreck trying to pull over and scoop them up lol! im typically a very honest and blunt kinda guy but if i saw ten gallons of free fuel rolling around on the shoulder of the road, the world would be shocked how fast an old fat guy could move gettin them in the back of my truck. id snag those suckers and be gone like a fart in the wind

I thought this was gonna go the route of if your gonna be dumb join this forum. Boy was I wrong. Reminds me of the other day I saw an entire multi-ball hitch assembly on the side of the road. By the time I got around the round about to turn back and pick it up it was gone.

If they were full that would have really put the "safety cans" to the test.

life lesson a buddy of mine and i learned the hard way... never ever pick up a bucket with the lid closed on the side of the road. esp one in the sticks.. it was full of the same thing all the politicians are full of. when he opened up that lid in the cab, on a hot summer day.

Reminds me of my teen years working as a contractor-helper. Boss wouldn't let us crap in the customers house so spackle bucket it was. And of course I eventually left one at the customers house and couldn't bring myself to tell the boss. Ha I just pictured one of those flying off the back of a pickup truck in traffic lmao.
