[tartuffe]

Last week I heard a car running in my shop at work, went out back to see which crew had showed up and what they were grabbing. Behold this massive zombie and his trailer trash girl loading up a generator into his Cherokee. I say "put that down!" and they take off in the jeep, I chase them ou tthe gate.

I got the license plate #. Call the cops, business across the street has it all on tape. Cops come they say plate matches vehicle, have an address, and car owner is a frequent guest downtown. They bring me a photo lineup but they all were great big zombies to me so I picked one.

Next day the guy shows up at a pawn shop where my guys are doing some work on the parking lot. Same guy that had followed one of my guys to the shop the day prior who was bringing the generator back. My guys call the cops, cops swarm in and call me. Say "we need you here to identify now." I'm 15 minutes away. GET THIS, THEY CAN"T HOLD THEM (black guy, white girl, in same vehical with same tag) THAT LONG WITHOUT CAUSE!!!

I get there in 7 minutes, make the ID, they arrest them both.

Moral of the story is, without incredible stupidity on the crooks part, crime pays and the system doesn't care.
