WOW YEAH THEY NEED TO CATCH WHO EVER DONE IT BECAUSE I DONT WONT MY LITTLE NIECES AND NEPHEWS PLAYING OUTSIDE AND THEY COME BY AND GRAB ONE OF THEM UMMMH NO SOMEBODY WILL GET SERIOUSLY HURT LOL AND IF I WAS THE GIRL THAT SAW THEM MEN I WOULD HAVE SHOOTED AT THEM AND I BET THEY WOULDNT COME BACK TO MY HOUSE AGAIN LOL
to these idiots who think that they can get away with such is barking up the wrong tree. Enter at your own risk. TRESPASSERS WILL BE SHOT AND SURVIVORS WILL BE SHOT AGAIN. Yall are messing around the wrong neighborhood. We believe in defending what is ours and then call the ambulance.
We live right around the corner from this. Warning if the person responsible for this crime is reading these post look out for the pitbulls they are not chained or fenced. They have complete freedom of the yard.
I keep reading where they take the dogs out to catch someone but have yet
to read any article where the dogs actually get someone. Not being smart
but that’s all I have read, are there any stories where the dogs get their man?
to Wondering
I hope you told the Sherrifs Office this…
Maybe the next article we read will cite you as the individual who solved the crime. Not to mention, you solved it by way of North Esc. website!
Bet THIS is the guy I was talking about in the other article… the guy (he also had someone with him) we’ve seen acting suspiciously was driving a white extended cab 1997-99 F150 with factory chrome wheels…
Love my 357 Just drop on by
Our neighborhood doesn’t have to deal with this type of stupid, pathetic, and disgraceful activity very often and I hope the idiot thief soon gets his due. If by chance the individual responsible for todays crime happens to read this please know this…. I live just a few miles away, I’m sure you’ve passed my place before, and I highly recommend selecting it to be your next target! Just a suggestion from another ole dumb redneck from Nokomis.
Drove by the area on my way home as police were arriving. Amazing how brazen criminals are becoming since this was in the mid-afternoon. I certainly hope they catch the culprits. Sure am glad the home owner wasn’t hurt.
