I had an eventful day yesterday. Friend of mine was about to remodel a triplex he owns, and bought new stainless steel appliances for all 3 units. He had them all in his enclosed trailer in the driveway.
A couple of days ago, someone hooked up to his trailer in the middle of the night and disappeared with it. We posted on the usual Facebook crime pages, but no leads.
Yesterday I jumped into the wife's Jeep while she took a nap and started driving around my area looking for the trailer. I was working my way to a few junkie locations that are a thorn in the community's side, and suddenly spotted a white trailer through the trees from the road.
I pulled over and snuck through the trees and took pictures of it, and there was no license plate on it. BUT there was a damaged right fender that matched my friend's description.
I pulled broadside into the driveway with the Jeep and called my friend, and he was there in 20 minutes along with another 2 pickups full of buddies to hold down the fort until the Troopers arrived.
There was an old motorhome on site, full of stolen power tools, stolen mail, art work, etc. And, of course, meth pipes. Can't have a junkie hidey-hole without crack pipes.
Anyway, the cops got there about 2 hours later and processed the scene. Turns out that the white Chevy and art work were from the same burglary in Big Lake about 3 weeks ago and there was another large crime tied in here that the cops were aware of.
Amazingly enough, all of my friend's appliances were still in his trailer, unmolested! He got everything back.
Later, last night about 9pm, the SWAT team raided another little meth compound on the bordering property looking for the junkie, but in the excitement the little bastard managed to jump on 4-wheeler and got away! That's okay, Charlie Hedgers, they've got your name and a room reserved for you.
