| Help! I am freikin' out! LONG story short; a guy/gal stole something from me this morning (gas can- no big deal- I was dumb enough to offer help to strangers) anyway, they live not far from here, I was gonna just go ask for it back.....a few locals told me to stay AWAY from them and lock up all my stuff coz they were likely casin' my place- the word is that they are meth heads- and REAL crafty at stealing ANYTHING they can get; tires off your truck; siphening (?) gas; radiators, and of course, they saw my 4-wheeler, etc in the garage- (I've moved everything) I also found out a local put a shot gun to their faces as they were in the process of stealing from him (truck parts) and our lovely sherriff arresting HIM for assault- the meth-heads got LET GO!! Apparently they do this stealing ALL THE TIME, and a friend of mine (who is a first responder) knows them and says there are about 10 more living within a mile from me and they are all in on the drugs/stealing, and they are not afraid of anyone cos the cops dont care! So of course, I am here ALONE and scared sh**less! My hubby is all pissed cos he cant be here and I guess I stressed him out when I told him. (so much for this being short!) I did report it, only b/c everyone advised me to so it would be on record in case they come back. I want to fing MOVE!!!!!! So what do I do? I dont own a gun (not that it would help apparently!) and the chick was petting my dogs, so I'm sure shes not afraid of dogs. I want to puke I am nervouse now!! |

If I were you, I would keep every door and window locked, leave lights on in and outside the house and just be vigilant but not paranoid.
If they were casing your place and decided to steal from you, DO NOT confront them. They may have weapons and things could get real ugly.
Material things can be replaced but a life can not. Call the police and hopefully they will respond quickly and catch them in the act. |

I guess you didn't read what she said: a guy/gal stole something from me this morning (gas can- no big deal. Maybe in Texas Borrowing and stealing are the same thing. |

She posted earlier in another thread this a.m. about letting someone "borrow" her gas can and was wondering why they hadn't brought it back.
NOW...it looks like she may just have showed the wolf where she hides the sheep :sad: |

| Put the crack pipe down take two steps back and call for help. Crossing up your story in two seperate threads lead one to believe your looking for drama. :wink: |

Ok. have more time to write now.
She came to my door asking....;and since its no big deal, I said 'yes' (I only had about a gal; enough to get her to the little local station 3 mi up our road) I was STUPID in that I gave her a lift back to her truck (about a block down on the lake- I live on the corner of a lake for those of you that dont know) and she told me "I will take it to 't & C' and fill it up for you for your troubles" I was like, "Fine, no biggy". (Iknow what ya'll R gonna say here, so please dont- my husband already yelled @ me for it) Well.....she never came back. Like I said, no real big deal, but still annoying. So.....I hopped on my ATV to go to T &C and asked the lady (I know her) if she happened to see a older, 60's model orange/white chey pickup; she stopped me and said "Why- did they steal from you?" I was like "Huh? well, sorta'"......she handed me the phone and said "Report them" I'm like, "It was just a stupid can"; THEN, her and another gal standing there proceed to tell me that this chick is so & so; and her & her boyfriend (who WAS in the truck, but I didn't get a good look @ him) do this ALL THE TIME -"They are the local meth-heads and the cops dont care; maybe if we report them enough they will do something".
One of them pointed out that very truck to me, just a ways down the street, parked along the hwy in front of a trailer house; I said "I 'll just go ask for it back"; but she then told me that since they had already seen my ATV, both trucks, etc; that I should lock-up coz they'll be back. I decided against going over there on the wheeler, went home, got my truck, went back, they were gone. A teen was standing in the yard and I asked "Where are the folks w/the orange/white truck?" He goes "What or./wht truck?" I got pissy n' said "YOU KNOW- THE ONE THAT WAS HERE 5 MINS AGO!"; hes all "Oh,why, did they steal something from you?" I almost pi$$ed myself- I go "YEAH- could you tell me which way they went?" (Obviously he 'couldnt). So I left;Got home, made a report just to have it on record; got ahold of my friend that is the 1st responder (and her dad is a farmer that has lived here forever and works w/the county, etc)She told me how bad it is- all the places they have been stealing from, etc; her dad caught them in the act @ a neighbors, stealing truck parts;He called the sheriff -he chases them down through woods n' fields w/his shot gun; they finally stopped; he held the gun on them and when the Sh. got there, HE got in trouble! He cannot own firearms ever, and now has an assault charge over his head-and the couple got LET GO!! Its such BS! I was warned that they steal ANYTHING to buy their drugs w/; and there are MORE of them than just that couple that live within a 3-4 mi radius of me! So, the problem is bigger than I thought ( There was an 'incident' about a year ago w/a meth bust @ a neighbors house; my folks live just up the street from me- it was their neighbor who had a lab going) I worry about my folks too coz he is going blind, she doesnt walk too good) This sucks. This area used to be the country- now we got all these freiks from Minnecrapolis and St.Paul moving up here! I moved all my stuff to a more secure building on the farm; the rest of it someone is coming to get in a day or two. We really do not have a lot of stuff, but dang, ya work hard for what you have and others swipe it! Oh yeah, forgot to mention; the woman @ our wonderful Sh.'s office chuckled whenI gave the descrtion of the truck/gal- like she already knew about those a-holes! Nice. Cops around here are totally worthless; my friend said they won't do anything b/c it is all 'petty-theft and they are not hurting anyone.' Sorry for the novel; I'm a bit nervy right now. |

Tell your Landlord what is going on. Every time you need to call the cops or make a report...notify your Landlord too.
If you need to move out on a moments notice...it will be unlikely the Landlord can sue you or withhold any security deposit, since you can prove you were forced to vacate from unsafe conditions. But...your responsibility also is...you can not continue to keep residing there for months and months while you continue to rack up Police reports. I'm not suggesting you take advantage of the law. But...by all means... use the law you are entitled to...and don't wait for something bad to happen. Plan on moving.
Being scared in this case is a good thing. You described these people very clearly...so it is not like you do not realize what you are dealing with. So...do not engage these people in any way. Screw being friendly to them...you know they will take your kindness for weakness. So...don't be a fool. Most crackheads thieve during "tweak-er hours"...which is between 3am and 6am. This is when you need to be vigilant the most...sorry to say. Of course a desperate or wigged out tweak-er can do harm at anytime. If they step on your property to even pet the dog...call the cops.
LET THE COPS do your talking. They can tell this creep they are not welcome around your place. Then if they ever return...that is trespassing. They will have the previous incident and the creeps name on record. I can't give you any warm fuzzy words of encouragement or support. If you are living amongst rats, then be glad you are not buying this home. DO NOT engage these people. They are dregs and gang members, whores, addicts, and very dangerous. They love to fight, and are very good at plotting and planning your worst nightmares. You won't win. ....so start looking at moving...and check your new neighborhood a little closer next time.
You know me...I like to yuk it up...but right now I want to shake you up. We are just like the cops in this situation. We can't help you...unless you are willing to help yourself. This sounds serious to me. If you keep a really low profile that will help...but come on...that is what this whole neighborhood is about. This is why the cops are not going to war here. Everyone here keeps to themselves, is blind, deaf, and is careful to not drop any blood into the water. Nice weak neighborhood....perfect for the rats. |
