    @ The Truth

    If you have names please go to a pay phone and call tips or the sheriffs
    office. This is how people get killed. We have to many druggies running
    around this town and many have guns. The other day I saw a girl about 17or so)
    climbing over a fence where nobody has any business ( right in broad
    daylight) . When I came over the hill she threw her leg back over and
    ran to her car. There are horrible things out there today and horrible
    people, and they are not all strangers from other states. Many of our children
    and their parents are on drugs, and seem to think it is OK to just take from their neighbors. How many of our children and innocent victims need to die when
    a theft or vandalism goes wrong.

    Amen Sandra, if those stumps burned hot enough to cook, it would have melted to the ground. No shortage of idiots.

    This is the trailer fire the deputy told me about when he came to my house around 11:00 last night for the prowler. Hope they catch these idiots soon!

    How long has the trailer been on the side of the road? If they are newly cut trees wouldn’t they be hard to catch fire unless with an accelorent? With all that pine sap, wouldn’t it take some effort to start?
