North eastern Connecticut warning & be on the lookout

[Backbeach Jake]

I had a car stolen once, I only turned my back on it for 5 minutes. Went into the house, forgot my cigs, went right back out and there it was gone. What a sick feeling. The kicker was the theives used it to rob houses, so I got to talk to the police for a while, too.

i went into the shop for 1 minute.....came out and it was gone...
then the most frustrating thing was everyone kept telling me they just saw it
driving down this road .... then that road...

by the time i got it back.... the engine had been turned to junk
after ........i had just rebuilt it from the ground UP.

the engine was so toasted it looked like
it had been sprayed with black paint.

Well miracles still do happen, even to nitwits like my pal Eric! At one this morning he was awakened by a knock on his door by a police officer who informed him they found his truck.

Fearing the worst he was surprised when he was told it was found across town in the Sears store parking lot. Key was in it ( they found his magnetic key holder on his frame) and doors locked.

All his fishing gear, rods, tackle bags and tools plus his cell phone and the umpteen dollars in change were still there. Nothing was damaged or stolen.

Apparantley whoever took it just needed to get across town.

Amazingly lucky. He told the police, who told him it had to be someone he knew, that the only person he could think of that would do that was me, but I had an airtight alibi because unfortunately I was at work 100 miles away!

that is great news for Eric.

BTW maybe someone just thought to look under for a keybox or something or else he had some workk done on the truck someplace and an employee noticed the spare kkey and remembered that and needed to get across town.
yep miracles do happen

key boxes are so old every thief knows to looks for them either under the hood/fender or in/on the frame . locked doors only keep the honest and young from entering your vehicle . If they want it you cant stop them . Alarms are worthless too .

It might have been what you said flap . someone needed a ride and why walk when I can steal this car . other wise stuff would have been stolen and the car wrecked .

This is only an opinion .

glad he got it back in good condition and nothing stolen .

I was thinking a key was involved...Alot harder to steal newer vehicles nowadays without the key
