I found a lineman's handset by a TNI when i was a kid. It was basically a phone in bag with clips on it for attaching to the leads.
Labeled with some bell company logo.
I probably should have found somewhere to turn it in, but that would have been work, and I thought the thing was cool.

No, it is a fairly common practice.
Putting the customers name on custom tools is for telling people where the tool was stolen from.
Lindström as a company is still around producing industry specific tools of high quality, often to customer specification.

I'm still using a set of Lindstrom side cutters that date from the mid 80s. Still sharp and cutting true.

...your post appears to have a code in it , so ....do this....
really ?
<b> you (AI) identified it as code ....YOU FIX IT....</b>
Inmates are STILL running the asylum....
ADDENDUM
I actually was curious how many personal / negative comments / attacks this post will generate...
Quite short of 100% , but it was nice from some regulars to show up with theirs usual (adjective unspecified / intentionally deleted ) contributions.
<b>I really feel (very) safe, and (much ) welcomed , posting (rants) in "lounge".</b>
Such a nice "beer " crowd.
PS
Not to worry - I have decided to ask programming questions elsewhere, mainly because this forum uses AI and limits "nice , non personally offensive answers " to "...read a book ...".
So, you are safe.

Just guessing he was trying to ask a programming question... dunno.

No he's just the latest incarnation of a person who thinks we all work for him. Time to wield the stick yet again.

A duck's quack has a soft echo. This is loud echos of blah blah blah. Duck would probably type out a more coherent complaint too.

It's the other way around. Newsflash, we don't work for you. All you did was piss off the experts. Good luck with that attitude.

I have checked a bit around and see nothing out of boundaries in any of his 4 interactions with the site.
A Q/A, a comment to its answer, the comment below to the witch and this opening message...
Am I missing something?
If not... I hope that what he smoked can be used as tee or in a brownie too, because I want a bit too. Problem is that my lungs won't accept smoke anymore.  
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Beats me. I've only interacted with him here. His post suggested angst because he couldn't get a programming question across and then was pompous enough to suggest we're lucky that he won't bother us. In his mind, maybe he thought he was being funny... he's not. About time he learned to interact with grown ups.

He has been here for years under different accounts and gets very tetchy if anyone dares to suggest that he formats his code in questions, or reads the manual. Was thrown off the site late last year for becoming abusive. And this is his second account since then. He also seems to think that we are all too stupid to recognise him from the first new message.
