When my home was under construction, a bunch of personal items along with an uninstalled bathtub and our John Deere Gator were stolen. The suspected thief was one of the dry wall installers as he was fencing some of this stuff a few months later to a friend who was unaware of the robbery story.The police didn’t pursue but the thief ended up dying in a tree cutting incident soon thereafter. Karma got him, I guess.

I had an entire delivery truck full of beer stolen from our warehouse 30 years ago. The police alerted me to it early one Sunday morning as it was backed into an area of scrub bushes and trees near a remote and bad section of town next to railroad tracks. The police wouldn't walk back and investigate/ get fingerprints etc because " there are bees back there!'. Right then, a carload of young punks came driving around the corner obviously coming back to claim their bounty. Upon seeing the cops they turned and sped off....when I frantically asked if he was going after them he said, " no way!". he must have been late for his doughnut run.

Exactly like that! Guy said something about “Bandit” “east bound and down”.... and I think, “ load it up and truck it”

No Monte,I’m not a detective, so I should have “pulled a Gomer Pyle” and yelled, “citizens arrest!” THAT would have stopped them for sure.
