Just for the sake of sharing the success story, not to mention also to bump down the picture of those bad boys with guns, (see previous blog post) here is some good news being shared around the Jordan neighborhood listserv.
An observent and protective neighbor, who I like to call Drother, shared the above photo and reported the following:
"Copper thief just got away! Greasy white male 40 yrs old, shoulder length brown hair, 200 lbs wearing blue hooding and blue sweat pants just tried to break into 2640 Sheridan. I chased him over 2 fences but he got away. He left the bike he was riding and some copper in his bag (see photo). If the bike was stolen from you call the 4th precinct. "
Good job, Drother! Every block needs a Drother or two.
So, like he says, if you think that's your bike (or copper, lol) call the 4th. And if you can, put the word out on the copper thief communicaiton wire ~ "Not in this neighborhood!"
(Do Not Click "Read More")
I would think he could rightfully keep both the bike and recycle the copper. It would be a shame for it to go to waste. Besides if the bike is actually stolen there is nothing wrong with drother "holding" it until someone wants to come and prove it was stolen.
ReplyDeleteBy reading the description of the thief I was hoping for better for Meatloaf in his twilight.
ReplyDeleteNice "spoils of war" pic Drother. I'd settle for a lock of the copper thief's hair though. I'd put it on my mantle and do weird things with it!
ReplyDeleteMaybe "Drother" should act like a good citizen and call the police and turn over the bike and copper. There may be finger prints on them that could help the police catch the suspect.
ReplyDeleteThis concept of keeping, selling, buying, or trading "abandoned" property that is most likely stolen is just plain wrong and immoral.
The bike belongs to someone and should be returned, especially if it was stolen.
Looks to me like Drother did turn the stuff into the police. If the bike looks like yours, call the 4th.
ReplyDeleteOh and great job Drother!
Drother...
ReplyDeleteI salute you.
To Dale The Truck Driver...
ReplyDeleteAs Meatloaf would have said on his "Back Into Hell" album, "Objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are."
Which is a comfort, really, when the object in the rear view mirror is a PISSED OFF DROTHERSAURUS.
There is a fellow named Drother who was outran by his big fat brother.....never mind. My hat goes off to the newest member of the Justice League of America Midwest Division. Had ya' snagged him, ya' woulda' won the blue ribbon for greasy pig wrestling.While not being able to run down a fat white guy could be a basis for derisive wisecracks, we won't go there. Now, had this fatfuck had a heart attack, this would have been great script. Folwell Fox, you got issues buddy. I like your style but you give me the willies...mays,loman,ketchum, all of them. I am glad the forces of nature have brought together so many sane and reasonable people residing in the same area. A special Good Day to Drother and all of the crimefighters that are watching all of the assholes who take shit that doesn't belong to them, and who put our neighborhoods and lives at risk. We are watching, and live for the chance to rinse our society of a fraction of its' Flotsam and Jetsam.
