My sister showed up at my shop (I'm out of town) to get so pics of some new bikes we scored from a friend. She heard a russelling of bikes and parts from our shed out back, she turned the corner to see a guy fishing out a wheel from my shed! She yelled and he kept on like nothing was going on. He finally stopped from walking back to his golf cart which is parked in someone elses yard and says "what?"
She processed to yell at him as to what he was doing, permission to be here etc. He said he needed a wheel.
We know this guy from down the street but we dont know him in a way that he can enter our yard and take what he needs. Also he parked in someone elses yard and snuck through our fence and backyard to get to our shop. Well once he told her he need the wheel, she said "You know I could call the cops?" He freaked and started to apologize and asked how much for the wheel. My sister said $5 and the guy gave her $10.
Well we talked to the neighbors and they claim stuff like bikes and lawnmowers have gone missing, so we immediately filed a police report and are filing charges for trespassing and theft.
If this guy just asked for a wheel, I would have given it to him for free. I give parts away to people locally all the time. Also since he was being so sneaky, we figured he has done this before. He knew exactly how to navigate through our yard like he had been there before. I am having my sister send pictures of the shed so I can verify whether more than that wheel was taken or not.
Also what makes more even more mad is that he didnt need the wheel, so he could get to work or doctor appointment, he has a golf cart and 2 cars!! He said he needed it for fishing or something like that!
So the charges are to show we arent messing around when it comes to messing with our family and our stuff. Keep to yourself and we will too. Our town is like 800-900 people. We all know each other, you shouldnt have to sneak and steal. Jee-Whiz!
