Criminal Activity.

So we were out on Woof1 the other night. Mark is busy all week so I offered to do some tuning on the boat for some free footing. Since it was not my boat and I just had the carb apart I was at the helm which meant Tom was parking the truck. His girlfriends purse was stolen from her car and window shattered last week. My wallet didn't get tucked away in the truck since I wasn't parking it like usual.

Vince showed up with the Atom and I got a call from him and my credit card company at the same time. The douche bags went to Walmart with my card and the business card. My card only authorized like 100 bucks and the business card declined their two purchases. When they stole Abbeys stuff they were able to run up 1500 bucks before they shut hers down. Chase card services is somehow on the top of their game because I have been to that Walmart before but they must have tried to buy a bunch of stuff I never buy?

Anywho, I got a call from a guy who found my wallet discarded in the McDonalds parking lot. There is a woodland trail between McDonalds and the boat ramp lot which is right where I thought those Goons were coming in at.

More pissed off they F'd with my truck and broke the window and also pissed off that some loser who I probably already pay for in form of welfare is trying to screw up our nice little secluded get away in the middle of town.

Heading back home tonight to install the new window then we are going to get creative and try to find these turds and have the coppers take them down town.

Venting but I wish people would just leave other peoples stuff alone. I mean I work hard and have just enough money to afford to do the things I love and I take it pretty personally when someone tries to mess with that.

Anywho, got a big river test and tune night planned. finally got my 540 fixed again, Gotta rip some carb pieces apart on Marks footer, throw a fuel pump and clean the anti-siphon valve on Teddys footer and hopefully everything will be golden.

Just saw this and couldn't resist posting...

That sucks Zach, sorry to hear that. You should do your own police work and take them down outlaw style.

This really seems to be more and more the reality. No fear of getting their ass handed to them by a would be owner that catches them (cause I'll just sue their ass for medical expenses, pain and suffering) and DEFINITELY no fear from Law Enforcement/Justice system...

I've had a couple of parking lot altercations, where the punks have tried to get in my face over stupid stuff, really trying to bait you into a fight, everytime I could have leveled the kid, but my sense was that is exactly what they wanted - its worth it to take a beating to come back with a high dollar lawsuit. Just walk away, walk away.

Where have the morals gone...

I have used that tactic a number of times in situations where safety was in question, it is very effective!

It is unfortunately, sad, that is the defense we are left with.

Baseball bats RJ? Did you get your cover yet big man?

   the 3 Bs        bear spray a bat and in the balls

For sure. Thanks dudes.

Got the window replaced last night no big deal other than sweeping out all the glass to prevent rattles.

It's just stupid and with the way society is currently it will just keep getting worse.

Guess that means we should all migrate towards lakes and live in little water sports cult communities ha.

Dang that sucks Bro! I know your PO'd but hows the Mrs.? Is she still shaken up as it happened just after she left?

Then they wonder why citizens are becoming heavily armed at a high rate, shooting first and ask questions later. Seems to be happening more frequently and have the support of their communities for doing so. I for one am so sick and tired of this crap. We work hard to be able to buy nice things for our families and what gives the right for some POS to take it.

Sorry Seb! Welcome to America!

That sucks Seb. If we keep paying people in this country to do nothing and not teaching the value of hard work and the rewards it brings crime and such will just keep getting worse.

Steve, You have to remember the short window is someone who isn't as intelligent as your average person(or maybe they are). I just assume the reason people commit crimes is because their brains do not operate at as high of an intelligence level as ours do. Their views of wright and wrong are skewed and they might decide that the punishment isn't as bad as the reward they get if they aren't caught.

That's silly that the police took 30 minutes to get to a house with only a woman there not knowing if anyone was still inside. What exactly do you pay taxes for is right..

Oh wait, we pay taxes to pay people who won't work. Ahem, Government shutdown, cough cough welfare, cough obamacare......

Well that is certainly disturbing, thankfully they did not encounter each other, glad everyone is OK.

Is your area prone to this type of thing or is this an isolated incident??

Chris,

The area has no bad history ()all single family, good school, mostly older folks), but in the last 2-3 month 3 to 4 houses get hit around noon time every othe week. To me that looks like a pattern, but what do I know. No cruisers on the streets at that time, but you can see them on the highway ramps writing tickets....

Zach, I hear ya...that lake retreat you mentiooned in one post before sounds like a plan (but make it in the south, so we get a looong season).

Yeah, glad all are safe but realy angry, since I know how long I put money asside for some of the stuff. And now we'll get robbed again by the insurance
