That was a big fat fail

You should ask that police department to put that in writing on department letterhead and sign it. :lol:
Back in the boonies of Mo. the county law had no problem with thieves being shot and using the tractor bucket and sink holes for burial. They said just don't call. That's extreme. But they get tired of the thieving BS, meth, etc. Can't blame them.
If thieves want it easy they say just stay in the cities.
