OK so here's the update. After posting and reading a few replies this morning around 6:30 I went to the Hood and walked through the gate to the project housing and went to the back. There was a 6' chainlink fence covered in Greenbriar (Which, if you're unfarmiliar, is natures version of concertina wire) Low and behold behind the fence was about 30 bike frames, wheelsets etc... I found a way over/around the fence. I also found MY WIFE"S BIKE! hanging in the vines of the fence (Hastily pitched there I'm sure). Got it out and "cussing a streak" yanked about 25 mongoose and huffy frames up out of the ditch/wood/weeds and then dialed up the cops. a few minutes later a guy arives. He asks if we can drive to where the bikes are. I laughed. I hiked him to the bak and walked him through the mess. He thought that MAYBE they could get a county truck over there monday (Probly to take them to the dump). He left, I satyed and went deeper into the woods hoping to find at least the frame of my missing trek. No luck. but found another complete dirt bike and a remington/savage .22 rifle (Rusted probly beyond fixing) through em in the truck and came home.
Happy to have the bike but pissed at the lethargy. This Jesse Lewis (Thief) has got the system worked. As long as No Single theft is over $500, no fellony conviction. But aparently you can steal 100 items one at a time for $100-$499, and go scott free
There will be an editorial in the paper next week!
