busted

last night i was on the computer playing games and my wife comes in and says "i think someones messing around with your work truck" at first i thought she was kidding but i look out the window across the street and i could see him by my front tire,so out i got in a t-shirt,shorts and bare feet ,i cut up the road on an angle and then walked back down the side walk, he was crouched down taking the lugs of he looked over quicly and just saw my upper body coming around the grass hill(walking) then he went back to work so i broke into a run and just when he heard me i was on him i shoved the guy into the road yelling "what the f*#k are you doing to my truck a$$H*#%e,well all he said was oh s*#t,he gave back my caps and with a "im sorry" took off.
you should have seen the look on the guys face when he saw me and it was to late, man it was the funnyist thing,after i shoved him i noticed the guy had a tire iron so i took a step back but i think he was to freaked out to think of using it thank god.

The guys lucky it wasnt my burb!

That just pisses me off, what gives some jerk the right to take what i worked so hard to buy for myself.

But at least you scared him bad enough that he probably won't come back

Keep a watch on. He knows where you are and may be back again if he really wants parts off of your truck.

Glad you scared him away and the truck was unhurt!

I agree, take a weapon next time....the sweet click-click of a cocking 12 guage pump shotgun would have made him really crap his pants

Talking about stupid people. Some guy broke one of my windows on my Jeep Cherokee in broad day light. Right in front of the place I worked at with alsorts of people watching. While his friends were inside buying stuff. Lets just says the dudes three friends didn't get to leave, I made sure of that, and now the guy is court on criminal charges. I guess this dude has tried to steal more then just my stuff. He didn't get anything, but It cost me $35 bucks to replace the window.

You should have beat his ass severely, then put his mouth on the curb- then, well you know. No guns huh? What a shame, perfect example why people should be allowed to buy, own, and carry guns.

haha, that is funny. I supposed that would never happen to my truck, one of the beauties of split rims. If I ever saw someone taking my wheels, I would go out and make sure they left me my lug nuts. lol

Good deal on catching the little bastard. I agree that you should have shoved his mouth into the curb.

Now now guys dont you realize that the poor man robbing the caps etc was probably an underprivlidged youth who had a had a hard row to hoe growing up. He is not responsible for his actions because due to this terrible unhumane upbringing he is probably too traumatized to find gainful employment and requires counselling to come to peace with his inner demons
that being said , and while im not a member of any medical establishment at all i would suggest that a severe beating about this guy's face and head would be comperable to shock therapy, which may in fact be benefical to his treatment. To address the poverty issue the week or so spent in the hospital after this would allow this poor underprivlidged piece of human garbage to gain some weight and get three healthy meals a day although the first few would prolly have to be served through a straw.When he is fully recovered, perhaps he will have a better understanding andoutlook on life.

Screw the guns. He did just the right thing, scare him and send him on his way. New1 doesn't need a gun to scare someone believe me.
Thats what I like about living here, you don't need a gun unless your too afraid to knuckle up, your almost certain no petty criminal will be packing a gun so fly at er'. Maybe if I was old I'd feel I needed one. IMO
That being said nobody deserves the death penalty for petty theft. I don't really think any ones being serious but still, bloodshed in real life hurts everyone. Preachy ain't I.
BTW it was my truck being assaulted. Peace.
