Re: Stolen last night
I have a story where I got no help from police when my girlfriend was intentionally run off the road, crashed, and put in the hospital by gawking rednecks hauling a cattle trailer. She was a farm girl herself and was passing through the Baltimore area on her way home from the beach. She gave a full description including how many were in the truck, black dual wheel crew cab Chevy, red 5th wheel trailer, Ohio plates, and four Hereford cattle. They still made it out I-70 out of state over 100 miles west. No police help at all. I knew there had been the big cattle show at the state fairgrounds that weekend. I called and asked for a list of entrants which gave the name, town, and registered cattle. I narrowed it down to a couple entrants. Then I checked Ohio DMV with those two names for a list of registered vehicles in those names, which is how I also got their addresses. This was late-'70s and you used to be able to get that info from DMV with a tag number. I did all that in reverse. I also got the phone number. I notified my state troopers and they said it was now a matter for Ohio State Police. Called them and hit a wall. They said the crime was committed outside of their state. They had no interest in pursuing this. I was young and cocky and that just did not get it. I had everything I needed so I went to Ohio with the intention of hog tying the S.O.B. driver and dropping him off in front of a Maryland State Trooper barricks with a note. I got out there and decided kidnapping across a state line was not a good idea. I did go with a healthy friend. I've told enough that you all probably think I'm nuts. We did confront the guy, which made his hat spin and eyes bug out. I had intended to hog tie him and leave him lay on his own property, and pay the price for that. But good sense let me know I had done enough by letting him know he better think twice about who knows who when he goes picking on defenseless women. I made no threats, but he about cried from the shock of the whole thing happening. The last thing he ever expected to have happen. It all came down to a matter of principal and I realized I had satisfied that need in me. I might have only affected one man, but I couldn't just do nothing. I sure have mellowed out, though :lol:

I assume this was true. I think I heard it from my mom & stepdad way back when they were RVing. At one point they went down to Harlingen to see the CAF back when they were still "confederate" ;) |

Now the waiting game...........are they really looking? Probably not. Pine Bluff, Arkansas, is a rough place and I'm sure those officers have more to deal with on a regular basis than go looking for our truck............but if it's there, I would hope that they would at least be on the lookout for it. It's definitely a frustrating feeling! As far as the crackhead selling the 350 engine thing.......nothing ever came of that, but the cops have told me that he is a definite thief & crackhead. They had some tails on him, but he never led them to anything. Still have not seen the mysterious red truck with the Hankook Ventus tires either. I have the serial numbers off our tires & if I see the red truck, I'm gonna get his license number and get the police to check it out. My son is 20 years old has football buddies & college friends everywhere. They all have facebook & instagram & whatever they do to keep up with each other. He has at least a thousand eyes looking for this truck down here in south Arkansas. Maybe it'll show. Here's pics, since I see that my original picture is now gone. https://i.ibb.co/8Yd4RNf/image.jpg https://i.ibb.co/LJMkfwJ/image.jpg |
