I remember when I was very young, he kept his tools in the trunk of our only family car, a Chevy sedan. Every morning, he would lift the trunk lid and put his sawhorses in, and in those days before bungee cords he would tie the trunk lid down with rope so the sawhorses wouldn’t fall out, and then drive to the construction site where he was working. Every night, he would take the sawhorses out and put them by the side of the house, and slam the trunk lid shut so the tools wouldn’t get wet or stolen. I learned that to those in the construction trades back then and probably now, there were few people lower than a tool thief, because stealing a man’s tools destroyed his livelihood. And back then, probably his family’s as well.
