My brother was a welder at an oil refinery when the Alaska pipeline started. They sent in reps to recruit pipe welders.

Well, one guy there took a job with them and worked all the overtime until it was done. He lived in the company housing and ate their food. Saved every dime and sent it home to his wife. A ton of money and he planned to retire when he got home.

When he got home he found that his wife was long gone, she had sold the house, and there were no bank accounts left.
She had sold everything he owned and skipped town.

I really doubt a jury would convict him if he had ever found her.

That happened to a friend of mine in the Navy.

A neighbor is a supervisor for some oil company in ND. He said when it’s real cold he works them for 10 minutes outside then they take a break for 15 minutes inside to warm up.

A buddy of mine in Yemen with me came home to an empty house as well. She even took his clothes and gave them to the new boyfriend.
