Title: I identified my thief just now.
Post by: JohnnyReb on April 10, 2014, 09:14:17 AM
Deputy just left here. He had a photo lineup for me to pick out my thief. I picked him out and then he showed me what he had on him. That S.O.B. has been busy hauling scrap to the scrapyard. He had a list of the suspects trips to the scrapyard. Deputy had 5 or 6 pages of with 20 to 25 visits on each page that suspect had made in the last couple of weeks. Some of the S.O.B.'s trips were for $3 and $4.....hardly worth the gas.

It was supposed to be the deputy's day off. He said he was working today because he wanted to get this guy off the streets for awhile.

sounds like a career criminal.  I'm sure there are lots of big rocks somewhere that need to be made into little rocks and this douche is the person for the job.

Big rocks into little rocks, little rocks into gravel, gravel into sand ... lather, rinse, repeat.

Ti's the reason small engravers are sold, people need to put their name or a mark on everything valuable.

Sort of like the micro chips in our pets and farm animals.  Wont be long before the hospitals will be putting them in New Born's.   

Hard to prove something is yours or stolen from you, I learned my lesson in middle school when another student stole my wallet.   

This thief can say he bought your property off another person or flat out deny they were anywhere near your home. 

If your property was worth less then $100.00 bucks then this thief will walk out  of court if it gets that far with a slap on the wrist.

Sorry for you, I know how it feels, violated and mad as hell especially when it is someone you know or trust.

That's just it, Vesta.  Nothing that was taken was especially "valuable". The jack wagon did it purely for about $34 worth of scrap metal value. 

All of this was covered in JR's original thread on the subject yesterday.

The place I work has @ 10,000 pounds of copper wire on hand at any one time and usually around 3,000 pounds of scrap copper wire.

In broad daylight. It's a wonder the guy hasn't been shot yet for trespassing.

Dude.

We repair electric motors and that involves a lot of wire. Most of our stock comes on a spool in 5 gallon buckets. They weigh anywhere from @70 lbs to @100 lbs.

So glad you got to help in getting him off the streets, even if it is just for "awhile."

Most repeat offenders usually view the local sheriff/PD as a stay at a hotel when they get locked up.  I've seen the mentally ill and addicts go out of their way to get arrested during bad weather.

Me too. 

And worse, they fake injury and get sent to see me and all they want is back rubs.  They don't get that and think I'm a mean ole heifer.  We never let the young, female therapists work on them.  lol

You can usually spot the chronic homeless from the smell.

One of them pissed on my car while I was stopped at a red light.  It sounds like another Otis Campbell episode, but I swear that's what happened.  Ask me about the time some homeless dude sat next to me at Char-Grill and shat himself while the cops were looking for him on an assault/public drunk charge.

Raleigh is such a podunk POS town.

Ok.  I'm asking.   :-)

What did you do?  Ask him if he needed some toilet paper?

No, the police came by a few minutes later and arrested him for starting a fight at a bar that was behind the Char-Grill.

I feel bad for the officer that had to clean up his car after him.

We call that "extra duties as assigned." 

Piss some of them off and they will urinate and defecate at will.
