By ANDRE COE, Associated Press Writer Andre Coe, Associated Press Writer – 2 hrs 20 mins ago DALLAS – Workers at Bradco Supply Corp. arrived one morning to find someone severed the heavy chain locks on the security fence at the Fort Worth shingle supply warehouse. Inside, empty wooden pallets were splintered and scattered across the floor.

They'd been robbed. Again.

robert, your link didn't work. Here it is. This happened to yard that I buy from. They pulled up between 2 buildings and cut through a chainlink fence. I don't know how much they got.

I know its not right by any means but i almost want to say thats what they get for gouging us with the price of materials! :ohmy: The price of oil went down a very long time ago now and they have not budged on the price of shinlges. In my area they stopped going up. But still have not came down any at all which is B.S. ;)

What they say is that the price of oil has come down but the price and availability of asphalt hasn't. That's the new coker plants and the backlog of highway asphalt orders (they say) and I actually have no proof either way but they have been sticking to that story without flinching. Our shingle prices have actually sagged a little. Not a lot.

Sometimes you just know that the other "roofers" can't do it that cheap. It is a lot easier if you are paying half price for your shingles or nothing at all.

I hate theives, and I also hate those that would knowingly buy from them. If someone offers to sell you shingles for half of what you would pay for them at the supply house, you KNOW that they are stolen. If you buy them, you are an accessory to the crime and you deserve everything that is put on you. If there were no market, there would be no thefts. I have seen a lot of tool thefts, but this is the first that I have heard of shingle thefts on such a scale. Sickening!

tWOO KIND OF PEOPLE i CAN'T HAVE AROUND lIARS AND THEIVES

sorry about the spelling just woke up Two kinds of people I can't have around me Liars and theives

If there were no buyers, there would be no thieves. The buyers create the demand, and the thieves fill the demand
