Well what an interesting day it has been.....Not everyday you get to catch someone trying to steal from you but that is exactly what happened to me today.
Recently we purchased a new piece of property with two homes on it. One I turned into my new shop until my new building is finished and the other we will live in once it is finished.
Well the former owner left behind 8 old boat trailers that I have been working to turn into scrap hauling trailers. They have been sitting to the side of the property since we bought it.
Anyway we happen to have some nice neighbors who watch the place when we are away along with their two boxers who patrol the grounds. I got a call from them this morning saying I needed to get out to the property. So I went that way and it was quite a scene when I arrived. There were two deputies there and they were standing near a small pickup truck that had one of my trailers hooked to it.
Well this guy decided to try and take one of the trailers but he failed to take one thing into account.....We have had roughly 27 feet of rain here in good ole indiana and the ground was nothing short of mush....Well this big brain got his truck stuck...buried in the mud up to the axles.....Then the dogs spotted him and they kept him in his truck until the police arrived.
By the time I arrived he was begging to be let go, mostly because he was on parole for robbing homes!
