Well my house was broken into yesterday while we were at church. My wifes jewelry, my daughters savings bonds and here piggy banks, and our spare change jug (had over $1000 for vacation) were stolen. We called the police and the did a report. They told us to get alist of stuff stolen and to think about who may have done it. The beleived it had to be someone who had been in the house befor since nothing else was disturbed. Wel we started thinking and I remembered a Red mini van had started down our drive Sat while I was working in the gurage then saw me and did a u turn and left. I thought it strange at the time since no one except us and the neighbores( I have 2) ever come down the drive. Well my wife started thinking and rembered that a friend of hers that cleaned our carpet 2 weeks ago had said he had a new employe. We gave him a call and asked him what the employie drove and it turned out to be the same red mini van that I had seen on sat. I got to tlking and realized the house the guylived in was owned by a friend of the family so I called him to see if we could take a look in the guys hous. He told us that the guy was not supposed to have moved in until the 1st. so technically he was living there illegally. so we headed over there to give him a chance to confess to the theft. He dinied it so we called the sheriff over. Well they found my stuff and it turns out the the guy had also robbed two other houses that Sat I saw him in my drive way. He also had multiple stolen tags and Crack in his vehicle. He was also stealing cable form the neighbors. Need less to say he was arrested.
 
awesome man! So when you confronted him did he scurry to start hiding stuff after you called and waited on the sheriff?
 
Props on the good detective work, glad you made a difference.
 
Glad to hear it worked out for you. Awesome to see the good guys come out on top.


Our local "Sheriffs Dept." called the house where my stolen atv was spotted to let them know they would be there to "search for it" in about 30 minutes.....While I was standing in front of the detective making the call......
 
While we were waiting on the sherifs we heard him banging around in the house. I figure he was trying to hide everything but didnt do a very good job( he put it all in the attic ) police ound it pretty quickly.
 
Way to go man!! Glad to here all of it was recovered, most people are not as fortunate....

I hate a thief.....
