One of our thieves is back in Packwood so I don’t think it’s a coincidence that we are having thefts again. Saw him Friday and he looked pretty rough and desperate. Most of our tweekers keep to themselves but this guy supports his habit through robbery.
He seems to go for the generators and chain saws in shops where the people are not home.
He stole a Honda generator and some other things from an acquaintance’s storage shop last year. My acquaintance was dumb enough to show him what he had a few weeks before. We know positively who it is because he tried to sell the generator to 2 different people in town.
Anyway fella, it’s a small town and everyone knows your a thief. I don’t know how you can show your face around here.
