This shit is everywhere. I live in the country, I came home one night and five neighbors down is a car half way down the driveway. The drive is probably a football field long. It was a clear day and the winshield wipers were on. It was parked at a 45 degree angle. I didn't really know them, but it was so odd, I pulled down the drive and slowly walked up to the car. I thought I was going to find a heart attack and dead person in the car. I noticed the seat all the way back. I put my hand on my gun on my back. I walked up, and nothing. I then noticed the passenger window was shattered and the column busted. I drove up the driveway and knocked on the door. An older lady answered and I asked if that was her car. She said yes and looked puzzled and stunned. I think at first she thought it had something to do with me. I calmly explained what I found.
It was a Kia, and I guess they tried to steal it. I assume maybe it got part way down the drive and something happened without the keyfob??? I don't exactly know what they are doing with the USBs, but I guess that one didn't work out. I did notice her car was gone for months. I'm guessing the parts for the broken column must be long lead items.
I have lived out in the country for 7 years now and I feel like more crime than I ever endured when I lived closer to the city. I can't decide if it is the local meth heads or people coming out from the city.
I booby trapped my barn after they stole my trailer and UTV. That was the third deal for me and I am done. I found the guys and gave it all to the police, they haven't done shit. If a mother fucker goes in my shed now, they will be dead. If I have to spend the rest of my life in jail for it, I don't care! I'm a single guy, no kids.......I've lived a good clean life to this point. If they make me a criminal, so be it.
