About a week ago, I got home from work and found the door to my Jeep open, I didn't think much of it at the time, figured one of the kids were fooling around in it. I went to go someplace and found my GPS was not where I left it, I was a little pissed to say the least. I know that there have been a rash of breakins around the neighborhood, but I never figured anyone would come here. I put up some flyers around the neighborhood offering a $5000 reward for the return of my $200 GPS and the name of the person who took it. I went out just now to get my mail and sitting in my mailbox was my GPS. Noone came foward to collect the reward or to give me a name, so I can only conclude that the thief has seen the light and wanted to return it anonymously. Smart move on his part, someone would have turned him in sooner or later.

So would you actually have paid the $5000?

I would be pretty pissed if I had snitched and didn't get the reward.
 
Sounds like it might be a local kid that knows you and figured he/she would be better off just returning it rather that risk your wrath.

They probably know you own guns and know how to use them :wink: but don't know what a teddy bear you are. :tongue:

Glad you got it back. :biggrin:
 
Huh I thought you were going to say the dummy turned himself in for the 5 grand. Lol it wouldn't suprise me if it happened that way.
 
I think it was your wife getting back at ya for the favorate/best pot you used in wax removal. :)
Now what if she comes looking for the reward?
 
The quick answer is yes I would have been happy to pay the 5 grand to get hold of the person that invaded my sanctity. I too feel that it is a couple of neighborhood kids that have been doing hte breakins and figure that they realized they had screwed up and were going to get caught. The neighborhood I live in is a very nice quiet upscale area and we do have a little problem lately with breakins. If the guy tried to turn himself in and collect, I would have been happy to hand him the cash and then would have beaten him like someone should have a long time ago. The money would have just been an added charge when he was arrested afterwards for robbery, trespasing, theft, and extortion. One of my kids thinks he knows who it is that has been causing all the problems in the area. The local cops can handle it from here.

Sure sounds wonderfull. I am going to bring my "fishing rod" It has a nice c-79 scope ( I mean binoculars ). I will wait 300 meters away and wait for you to arrive safely. Just park in the usual spot I will come get you. I will see you before you see me.
Talk to you soon.

Lol...

LOL...just like the Gary Larson cartoon of two moose standing around talking. One has a bullseye on his chest and the other one says "bummer of a birthmark, Hal"
 
Bahaha. I wish it were that easy. Lucky for me I am a marksman and wouldn't need the nice dots.
The same thing happened to me last year Right in the middle if the day in my driveway. Car was ransacked and small things removed and a massive mess. I think it was some little punks down the street. So I simply told some questionable people from the area when they asked about the army that in the military were basically taught 2 things. How to kill, and how to survive. What side of the fence in the person that's harming my family going to be on?????
I told the people I was not joking...
I have not had anyone bother my area since. So I understand your issue. Offer a reward or Grevous bodily harm seems to keep dirt away.
 
The sad thing is that I work with the troubled kids and they get blamed for everything but do very little and the kids that did this are probably getting a bigger allowance than the damn thing cost.
 
Yea that's likely in your area. And I agree and And I would not point my finger without cause. But in my case I had people finger pointing. Ohh well it's over now. Live and learn I guess.
