Fucking lighter thieves......

If people show up lighterless then they get to use the huge gas grill lighter. Funny that no one wants to steal that one. :smoky:

have you ever seen the hemp wicks you can wrap around your lighter, then light the wick instead to have a cleaner hit minus lighter fluid taste? kinda of like the solar hits with magnify glasses?

I had a dealer who had this issue so he wrapped a wick around old lighters, wood, anything to hold on to and used the wick instead. the wick stays lit and is easily passed around, creates no ash and really works well. you can buy a large spool of it too for fairly cheap and it's supposed to be healthier.

seems like every time I get a cool colored bic it's gone in two days tops. grrr

Bee line? Yeah I've used that stuff for a while.

I used to be one of those stoners that was like ...

"I only grow organic, man. It's healthy, man"

**Sparks fat bowl with butane lighter**
**Eats french fries**

They also have lighter leashes now! It's like we're living in the future :biggrin:

Someone would benefit from a smokey smokey

Is that why your angry ? because you can't light up ? lol

I know some people who put chains to their lighter and then to their couch or table so they don't run away

Sometimes it's not intentional

I have lighter leash for my disposables,,ha ha I still use a zippo on ciggies so butane don't bother me ...forget that wick bullshit....you should set one up like banks do those pens,,coffee table or something heavy...maybe a brick lol,,,..my old neighbor was talking bout that ..seems when he was a kid he would come home with several lighters without realizing it..he filled a draw with them...sometimes friends would come back and ask ...he would point them to the draw and let them try an identify theirs...funny old guy

okay, pissed myself off tonight forgetting to grab a can of butane for my lighter, still got fire but not my favorite light.

that bein' said I've cut two people off for pocketing lighters, no longer welcome here. each was warned @ different times and yrs apart that they were holding the only fire in my house, give it back or forever be cut off. At night and still wanting to toke it was an 18 mile round trip for me (each time) to go to the nearest open c-store and grab a bic, if it's a daytime mistake I only need to go around the corner; but no, both mofos took lighters @ night.

I fuckin' hear ya, man.

Everyone knows people like that. The worst is when they say it was "completely accidental" or "I didn't mean to do it, it's just an unconscious reflex."

I'll fucking make you unconscious if you do it again!

For fucks sake....three lighters pocketed by visiting stoners in three days.
whilst ive never fucked any lighter thieves that i know of as suggested in the title by op ,,
i can say ive been pretty pissed due to living in the sticks with no stores available to replace said stolen lighters ,,
frankly i think they should be stoned ...

dang! somehow it seems like this is an offense as bad as stealing a caveman's fire, stoners surely can get serious about their lighters.

iam not a thief but I do "pocket" peoples lighters fairly often. Mayb they have a 12 step group I can attend.... seriously tho, there isn't a single conscious thought that goes into taking a hit and sliding the lighter back into my pocket... even if it didn't originate from said pocket.
I want a lawyer.... damn these lights are bright. is it hot in here?

Not to sound like a douche, but that pretty much does make you a thief..
Pocketing someone else's possessions is pretty much the definition of being a thief.

What is so hard about realizing it does not belong to you and to NOT put it into your pocket?

Honestly, I'm at the point where I am about to cut these people off.

Wanted to puff last night after my visitor left, reached for the lighter and the bowl, bowl was there but not the lighter. You honestly can't tell me that they are so absent minded they can pocket the lighter and not the bowl....


E.T.A. Im sure some are thinking it's only a buck or two for the lighter, whats this guys issue? Its the inconvenience for one, and the buck or two adds up..Over the past year I've probably had 20-30 bucks worth of lighters go missing.

while I completely understand someone coming over and having to drive a good ways to get another lighter and how often it happens, it's a common occurrence; most likely caused from smoking some good dank pot which was probably grown by the said victim of the lighter theft. so what it sounds like to me, IMHO, is your pot is really good.

I have pocketed a lighter on more than one occasion, but I have driven back there to give it to them as long as I haven't reached my destination at first. that is why I always advise, taking out your pipe and lighter (usually put in the same pocket) when you get in your car into a safe spot so it's not on you if you get pulled over OR (maybe i'll get flack for this but whatevs) load up some of that dank pot you just bought and drive your stoned ass home. this way you see the lighter which reminds you, "hey stoner, this is not yours. go home with that stoned mug and return that lighter pronto!"

the only people that should be cut off are the people who's smug faces show when asked. i think most people are honestly not meaning any harm and feel bad when they realize what happened. there are those though that deserve to be lighterless in hell....that reminds me of relic1981's joke
There were 3 men and they all died in a car crash and went to hell. When they got there the devil asked them all in turn a question.
To he first he said “what was your biggest sin on earth?” and the man replied “Oh man I just love alcohol and being drunk man” so the devil showed the man to a room full of alcohol of every type and description and he put the man inside and said “see you in 100 years” and locked the door.

To the second man he asked the same question and the man replied “oh man I just love to have sex with the ladies, I was really unfaithful to my wife man”. So the devil took the man and showed him to a room full of hundreds upon thousands of gorgeous and beautiful naked women. The man ran inside and the devil said “see you in 100 years” and locked the door.

The third man’s answer to the question was “oh man I just LOVE weed! I’m high all the time man and I can’t live without it!”. The devil showed the man to a room packed with the most amazing grade-A bud you’ve ever seen, stacked to the roof! The man went inside and the devil locked the door after saying “see you in 100 years”.

100 years later the devil came by to let the three men out. He opened the door to the first man’s room and found the man collapsed on the ground, passed out with empty bottles laying around him and puke all over him. He was a mess.
The devil opened the 2nd man’s door and the man came running out of the room and cried “IM GAY! IM GAY!”. Finally the devil came to the third man’s room and opened the door. Sitting in the middle of all the bud, in the exact same position the devil had left him in was the man. He looked up at the devil and with a single tear rolling down his cheek he asked ; “hey man, got a light?”

um that's the very definition of absent minded, doing something without thought. they stuck the lighter in their pocket same as they've always done after using a lighter without giving it thought. i've lost lighters to lighter thieves and i've stolen lighters myself. get a fuckin grip. the fact that your bowl is still there shows they aren't intentionally stealing from you. who steals a fucking lighter on purpose over a much more valuable and useful weed smoking device?
