Dealing With Morons.

Sounds like a usual day in the Crimes Agains Property or a CI's day in a smaller department. I spent 34 years in LE and my oldest daughters husband is a Detective in a large department's Crimes Against Property Division.
Its an intresting life.

Thank you for the story. My little world here in Seaside is always peaceful and pleasant, and sometimes I have to be reminded there are people like that out there. I'm thankful I have the mind set, and the abilty, to deal with them should they enter my world. Thanks again, R.

That was a good story. Reminds me of a couple of guys I went to school with. They wanted to steal a balance scale from the science lab. Guess they wanted to weigh some type of product? They opened the window and tossed it out into the bushes, so they could pick it up later. LOL.... The science classroom was on the second floor!

Actually, it probably isn't inbreeding that causes the trouble. Until you've lived around or known some of them, you realize that when stupid breeds with stupid, there is little hope for improved offspring. Of course offspring isn't on their mind when they're engaged in the acts. Some seem to not even know the consequences of their banal acts. And as bad as the genetics probably are, the total lack of any kind of parenting probably adds more to the mix.
I'd guess that Charlie's "clients" are not much different than the underclass in any other region. We just insulate ourselves from it. Its a much nicer life if we don't see, smell, and experience the trash.
I live at the intersection of a state highway and a side street. Down the sidestreet and around a bend there's a house. The occupants were foreclosed on early this year. They moved out. And as their gift the neighborhood, they told his brother he could live there until the bank tossed them out. Its important to understand the American dream. Every one wants to improve their lot. They do that by purchasing a home they maybe can't afford. In the instance down the side street, they over bought. And his brother is just about as low an individual as I've seen recently.
But like a train wreck, you just can't help but watch. Every time I see them walk past, I can't help but watch (and also watch any thing I own or my neighbors, because it might come up missing.) Clean clothes aren't a priority, but drugs and alcohol are. The guy wears clothing so soiled they're about to fall off of him. His girl, that stays with him, is several classes cleaner. In fact, she isn't bad looking. But some of his dirt seems to have rubbed off. And I'm fairly certain their pharmacutical budget doesn't include anything for birth control.
I'm lucky and get play by play from another neighbor who's house backs on the abandoned one. They don't have screens on all the windows, but its so hot outside they keep them open. Last weekend they hit on a novel approach for obtaining beer money. He stripped all the aluminum siding off the back of the house. Then they folded it to fit into the normal mode of taking scrap to the junkyard. In a pair of Kroger grocery carts. They had so much aluminum it took two trips in two carts! Party time.
To make matters worse, the neighbor called the police when the metal stripping was taking place. They're powerless to do anything. He's the occupant. His brother is the owner of record and can't be reached. The banks just don't care. If they took posession, they'd have to maintain the property. The last thing they want is to get slapped with building code violations and yard maintenance. So the place deteriorates. I can't see the house from my yard because its around a bend. Lucky me.

Fresh off the press: This one happened this morning. Several weeks ago some lowlifes went copper shopping at an isolated cell tower. What the tower lacked in ease of access it made up for with security cameras. The perps got their picture taken on the first copper stealing excursion. No one at the S.O. recognized anyone in the pics. A vehicle was not visable at that theft, just some fuzzy pics of guys walking around with copper. The guy that maintains the tower decided to tape some pics of the theives to a door in the hopes that if they came back and saw them posted on the door it might deter them from any more thefts. Wrong!
They came back yesterday, saw the pics on the door,tore them down,and moved the security camera....to where it was pointed right at their truck. Now we knew what they were riding in and got some good shots ot them loading the truck...again. Deputy Tory was up on Highway 11 north this morning and immediately recognized the truck from the fresh pictures he was given this morning. The driver was by himself but eagerly flipped the other two guys involved and all now have new roommates. Just when you think they can't get any dumber, they do.

I don't tune in as often as i should, however on occassion i have read your wonderful post. I even bit one joke hook line and sinker. That was a few years ago, about the neighbor and you. Ha Ha, a good one! Your post are insightful, informative and honest. I want to tell you that i respect you and 99% of LEO's, local, state and federal. We as a society thank veterans for their service, especially post viet nam, however we lack the means and oppurtunity to thank veterans such as yourself. I believe there are many people like me out there in the netherland that appericiate, respect, and love(in a manly way) officers such as yourself. Thank You for your continuing service.
Best Wishes, Good Hunting and Be Careful out there.

Charlie, please tell me you are going to be at the Louisville show in October. I have met your running buddy, Mr. Burg, and was not disappointed. In fact, meeting him and a few of the other "forum" buds was the highlight of the show. I want to say hello and be able to put a face with your stories. My brother is a retired State Trooper and some of the tales he tells, from time to time, rank right up there with yours. Look forward to it.
