I was on the phone in my big truck, when I hear the unmistakable sound of a key sliding into the door lock of my small truck....

I peak outside and see a meth head trying to jimmy my lock...then he stops a half second later....

He goes to his trunk... Grabs a ratchet, walks to my front bumper... leans down... then goes back to his trunk... repeat this process about 4 times....

I needed to be 100% positive there was evidence before I acted.

I grabbed my pepper spray, gun, and flashlight.... and hopped out the back door... no shoes....

I tell the guy to stop, he starts stammering that he's not doing anything, runs to his car, and drives off.... Meanwhile I go into my pocket to grab my keys to follow him and,..... nothing... they're back in the big truck. He was out of sight before I even made it back into my big truck (had to secure the ladder)....

So...

As far as my truck goes, he was unscrewing my lightbars trying to steal them, one was off and he was working on the other. So, nothing is damaged from what I can tell. I bolted them back in and all was well.


I got the tag number but 911 hung up on me, and on round 2 the calltaker kept asking me to slow down because she couldn't type fast enough....so by the time she was ready, I had forgotten it.

So...

Takeaways.

1. Make sure you bring your keys.
2. Pistol stayed holstered as it should be, and didn't come into play because there was no threat.
3. I shoulda sprayed the guy. Fox 2.0 and a trip to jail would ruin his night.
4. Make sure you bring your fuckin keys.
5. I need a means of rapid egress from my big truck. The doors being 5ft off the ground doesn't help...
6. FWPD officer I talked to was very nice and professional. Buy him some coffee if I see him again.
7. Bring your motherfucking keys, you fucking idiot.
8. Find a way to secure all my accessories, and add a warning/remote PA system to the small truck...His head was inches from 4 airhorns @ 140db ea @ 3 ft...at 6" he'd probably be temporarily deafened and disoriented.
9. Start a gofundme for an X26... :bigsmile:
10. Buy slippers. Wet feet @ 40 degrees go numb very quickly.



All in all, no one hurt, nothing damaged, but mother of god do I wanna find this guy..

I'm up, and will be for awhile.... fuckin' adrenaline...

You seem to have more confrontations and weird shit happen to you in a typical week than I have have had in 50+ years.
You should pitch a TV show and have a film crew follow you around.
Better than Live PD. Hahahaha

I'm kinda glad I didn't chase him... I would've PIT'd him at the first opportunity.. (moral and legal), but I know they'd find SOMETHING to charge me with, cuz they can't have people ramming cars over (attempted) stolen shit..

Yup. The best thing you did in that encounter was leave your keys behind.

Agreed. The best thing you did was leave your keys behind.

Get some wool socks and crepe soled slippers.

And be a lot more ready with the pepper spray, next time.

To all the people talking shit.

The only reason the guy didn't try harder to steal the truck (I'm guessing) is the chained steering wheel...



Have everything you own in 2 trucks, then have someone try to steal it, change their mind and go after something else, that you worked hard for.

You think I got money laying around to just let people steal shit?

I wanna see you homeless, and some worthless piece of shit that shouldn't even be considered human try to take what little you have left that you can't replace... Then lemme know how you'd react.

I think I did pretty damn good, considering.

'it's just a light' to some people...

To me it's a small piece of what little I have left; my effort, time, and money...

If the law wasn't the issue, I would've had zero moral qualms with emptying a magazine into him. Dude wants to die over a piece of electronics, that's on him.. But, I'm a law abiding citizen.. So... The piece of shit gets to live at least one more day.

Fear not the man who has everything. Fear the man who has nothing to lose.

Edit 1:
So yeah... Make fun of the homeless guy trying to not get his shit stolen and keep making snide comments about 'drama following' me and shit...


Edit 2:
I made a game plan for next time, I learned from this one.... And Selador, I actually had it in my hand,but didn't see my lightbar half off until he drove off... I didn't wanna risk using force without physical evidence that he damaged/tampered with my vehicle, otherwise he gets to claim victim status and I go to jail...

I thought you had floods wired in around the perimeter of the big truck? Light them up next time. Confrontation is probably best avoided, just let them know someone is home and they're being watched. Or, hit record on your phone next time so you get their face and license plate on camera.

At what point is "fucking the system" less enjoyable/comfortable than the satisfaction earned from not working?

I enjoy working hard and sleeping comfortable.

You need to back up and reassess what your really getting out of this new "lifestyle" and ask yourself, Is this where I want to be next week, next year, next decade?

I'm doing what I can to keep my fucking head above water..

I thought TW's response was appropriate and "normal" as far as that goes.
I hate thieves, and have had far worse internal reactions and desire for karma to be visited upon them.

Offering unwanted, unrequested and advice critical of someone's life is almost guaranteed to provoke a negative response.
Let's not escalate this on either side.
