^&*@%sucking thieves

[vettestr]

The morning after turkey day my neighbor knocked on my door to ask if I heard anything during the night. &^%(^ thieves had jumped his back fence and broken into his barn, fifth wheel trailer and one of his trucks. Rain the day before left footprints in the dirt that were easy to follow, follow right to our house too.

Thieves (two of them) jumped my wall and pried the door to an RV open, slim jim'd my Dodge truck and looked in my empty car trailer. Nothing of real value taken but made a mess and the RV door damage sucked. Cops found a few good finger prints but gave me little hope of a timely arrest. Officer was helpful, gave me a few suggestions and even thanked me for taking the time to report crime.

Last night or @ 2:37 AM my dog started to freak out and wanted out the back door real bad. I shoved my 357 in my waist band and shucked a round into a 12 gauge just as I heard somebody beating on my front door. It was the cops at the front door and learned a few more were in the 1st back yard area. A little awkward but secured the dog and weapons and let them in.

They were here to arrest me or verify the Dodge was mine. The crooks took my personalized license plate and installed a stolen plate on my truck. At 2 dark thirty the cops take the L. plate. They tell me not to drive truck until I apply for a permit to drive to DMV to verify VIN #'s. I must get a new plate as my vanity plate is now VOID and can not be re-issued until released by the courts. Never did get back to sleep.
