so, im at work the other day, and i get a call from 64d200pshbttn, aka jd, bout 9:30am. he asks, "you know anyone with a silver ford truck?" "nope, why" "cause they are backed up to your front door and unloading your house"... my heart fell to the floor. im 3 freaking hours away, and helpless. i tell him to call the cops and get back to me asap. well, he did, then turns around and pulls into my driveway to see whats up. 4 guys come storming out of the house, jump in the truck and haul @#%. jd tryed to chase them, but after they popped a few shots at his truck he stopped and went back to the house. thank god they are pitifull shots, that could have gotten ugly fast. so the cops show up, i get with my wife and have her meet out there. the house is trashed, everything has been rummaged thru, they tossed the bedroom, and my front door is busted to hell where they kicked it in. jd got a good description of the truck and a couple of the guys. it was a matter of hours before the sheriff had the truck in impound and had names of who busted into my place. they havent recovered any of my property as of yet, but im still hoping. the *#%^$&@!# got all my wifes good jewelry, all my guns, most of my dvds, my harley jacket and boots, and had all my tv's, vcr's and stereo unhooked and sitting in the floor ready to load. i can only imagine how much worse it would have been had jd not driven by at the right time. they hit me for a little over $4000 worth of stuff, and have managed to make it where my wife will no longer go to the house alone. id love to get a few minutes alone with these guys when they are caught. from what the sherriff has told me, the crooks MO was to hit right after the home owner leaves for work, so they have all day to get what they want and be long gone before anyone gets home. they have hit many places in the area, and this is the first time they got caught. unlucky for them, they got caught by the sherrifs son who knew what to look at, and was able to give good info to the responding officers to get these guys busted.
i just wanted to make a public THANK YOU to jd for looking out for me and my place. thinking of how many people would have turned a blind eye and just kept driving makes me realize even more what he did for us. now i cant say i agree with the pulling into the driveway like the lone ranger, or chasing four guys, ALONE. but you can bet i would have done the same thing if the situation was reversed. so i guess i cant say anything there.
THANKS MAN, I OWE YOU ONE!!
ON A FUNNIER NOTE... i asked jd if he ever thought he would be shot at BEFORE he became an officer?? he tells me, "im a redneck it was bound to happen sooner or later!!!"
