So I have a junk truck now. All because of my neighbors grandson. The short of it is he was on meth, he got clean for a year, got a good job, and needed something to drive I loaned him the truck I got at auction, eventually he convinced me to sell it to him, we worked out a payment plan, and he made 2 payments, and no more. As a favor to his grandmother, I decided to take the loss, and give him the truck. He destroyed it anyway, so it wasn't really worth anything but scrap.I couldn't put it in his name, but I couldn't because it is a salvage title, and the title has not come back yet, and won't for 9 months. HE had insurance on it, so if he wrecked it there would be no problems for me.
Today he came over to the house. He started off by asking if it was bad when oil came out of the tailpipe. He said it was broke down on the side of 85. I asked him when it broke down, he said last Sunday. I was not pleased. I called the highway patrol, and they said it had been towed 2 hours before I called. I called the towing company, and paid the impound fee, and arranged to pick it up today. Tyler said he would go with me, I told him that would not be beneficial to his health. I was taking the truck back, and he had no vehicle.
I rode up to China Grove, and loaded it up. I was less than amused with it.
I did get a chuckle because he said he left his wallet in it, and when the whoever broke out the windows stole it. Serves him right.
85 south was a parking lot when I headed out, so I took backroads home.
When I got into Mooresville, three patrol cars appeared on my tail, with lights and sirens. I pulled over. The officer told me that the truck was stolen. I told him I was the owner, and it is hard to steal my own truck. He took my license and got in his car, while I talked to the most adorable cop I have ever seen. I almost asked her to handcuff me just for fun.
When the other officer came back, there was a shots fired call over their radios, and he told the other two units to go. They did.
He apologized and told me he had misspoke, the truck wasn't reported stolen, but it had a warrant associated with it for shoplifting at DIck's sporting goods. At that point I was livid. He asked if I knew a gal named Anna, and I said she was Tyler's girlfriends. He cleared up the warrant against my truck. I told him she was staying with my neighbor. He asked if I would call the local PD if she was there when I got home. I told him I would.
So with a bit of sadistic glee in my heart, I headed on in. I called the neighbor, and told her I was on my way home, and asked if Tyler and Anna were still there to get their stuff out of my truck. She said they were. When I got home, sure enough, the neighbors car was there.
I pulled in the drive, and called the Sheriff's office, and told them the story, they said they would send an officer. I told them most likely she would be in my front yard if they got there fast enough.
I called the neighbor and told them to come get the stuff. In a few minutes they came over. I was dumbfounded at the garbage in the truck.
It was pitch black when the officer pulled in their driveway. I turned on my phone screen and flashed it till I had his attention. He walked over. I explained what had happened, he went to talk to her. He asked if she had any warrants, and she said no. Then she said she had talked to her probation officer yesterday. I didn't know she was on probation. I had to choke back a laugh.
He put her in cuffs, and took her away.
I fully expected for Tyler to start something, but he used enough judgement, and didn't. I was in the mood to stomp him into a mud puddle, so it was a good for him that he he didn't.
