ok well here is most of it...
2 of the 3 cops that responded told Jim that "you guys with your quads, rails, and quads" are just as bad as the kids with their loud stereos these days. You go around showing off and then complain when it gets stolen.
I don't understand how he was "showing off his stuff". And even if he was does it make it right to have your sh*t that you work hard for get stolen or vandalized? The cops attitide was "well, that's what you have insurance for right?" They were almost making Jim out to be the bad guy here.
They were also giving him a pretty hard time for chasing after the guys. They asked him what he would have done once he caught them. Jim told em that he would have whooped their a$$ for breaking into his stuff. The cop's reply was "Well sir I highly advise against that" or something to that effect. Jim told the cops that next time it happens- he won't even bother calling them and that he would take it into his own hands. :assrock: :smoker: :redhat: The cop said "I don't recommend that either." Some cops give the good ones a real bad name these days. They don't even seem to want to help find these kind of people and prevent it from happening again.
I don't get it. You work hard for your stuff, then when it gets messes with you are just suppossed to sit back and let it happen???? Eff that! This is America and anyone who works for things protects his stuff anyway he can. If the law won't help protect us, who else will? WE WILL! I don't think jail teaches these punks anyways. I think a good old fashion beatdown works best. :assrock:
