What a morning

GRW · Apr 7, 2010

Started the car and turned the lights on to pull out of the garage and I see a wheel barrow full of tools next to the garage next door. Kind of odd as this is right on the alley. Headed to work and noticed an out of place car just down from hips. So after they crossed the road I turn around and went back. Ran into them at on the side road by my house (White geo metro/suzuki with a black hatch) plates maybe 348-??? not sure, it was dark. Went back and moved all the tools into my garage and call the police. When I was moving the wheel barrow I noticed to BIG bags full of tools right next to it. Anyway long story short, it was the guy on the corners tools. They had roke into his work trailer and were in the process (had not finished) cleaning him out. SO now we need to keep our eyes pealed.

Hey Hip make sure you lock everything up.
I will try to get you on the phone latter.

If anyone has Hips number can they make sure he see's this. I can't seem to find his number in my cell. Not that they are going to keep trying, but this is right down the alley from him. Make sure you lock up everything Hip.

Really sucks having to live that way. Trying to keep what you worked hard to get.

Too bad you didn't have a shotgun to "mark" their car for further reference.

Edgewood has been getting hit hard by burglars, and the cops are trying really hard, they got me a few months back and everytime they catch someone new the cops come and talk to me and show me a list of things found, it's been really cool, as all of my past experiences with this kind of thing have been dropped by varies PD's, Edgewood PD gets two :awesomework:

Damn nice catch Gary :awesomework:

Last week I saw a guy around 5 pm at the arlington dennys, He was walking from car to car looking inside every car:rolleyes: After he walked from the back to the front he ran to the near by gas station and got a pair of gloves out of a car. As he was walking back to the front of dennys he was putting on the gloves:rolleyes: He stood right at the front door for about 2 mins and when his get away car was sitting on the north bound on ramp to I-5 he made his move. At this point I moved my truck so I could see what he was doing. When I Saw him again he was already running across the street I made quick work of Getting after them To get a plate #. I caught up with them @ exit 210 and got the plate # and returned it to dennys!

It was pretty crazy to watch this dumb ass as he was casing the cars it looked like he thought he was invisible. He also walked right passed me and never noticed me sitting in my truck and watching his every move.:rolleyes:

from the article in the link below

Investigators said they believe Grant acted out of self-defense; however, it will be up to prosecutors to decide whether to file charges.

Thats very weird. I live up by Everett Stadium and 3 nights ago sounds like the same set of guys broke into 2 garages a couple doors down.

On the Carnation article, as long as he does not get one of those (poor poor criminal) idiots and actually gets some normal everyday people (that are sick of the BS).

Hey Hip what part of the alley (north end or south end)?
If you see it again get the plate number.
I need to get me a good scatter gun :pissed:
