I knew a couple in los Gatos that practically had to tear their house down because of black mold. A cabinet installer put a nail into a water line that slowly leaked for years. The family was in bad health and didn't know why. Total nightmare.

People will take anything not nailed down.

I had a couple of cathead cobbles stacked at the end of my driveway.
Somebody filched them.
