Well I have been noticing that there's a massive amount of crime however it really didn't hit me how much crime is happening until this past couple days.
I'm at a really cool guy and he is really into German shepherds so we hit it off. He also loves to do auto mechanics and has his own shop so we are even better friends. When people have problems and they are my friends I need help them out and this individual ended up getting two cars and a boat stolen from him.
So why not help him get it all back.
Tweaker hunting is not a problem for me.
Well the first vehicle was recovered and we go to the tow lot which I happen to have started my towing and then that transferred over to repossessions. Talking with them they alerted us to the location the stolen car was picked up.
So we then drove over to the location and low and behold there is the boat sitting right there.
Afterwards the police told us my plan of just going and getting it after calling and letting law enforcement know what is the best plan.
However my friend decided he wanted to wait for the cops to show up. So even though we had stolen property right there. We ended up having to wait an hour and a half.
However the cops are really cool about things...
Early this morning.
Around midnight or so I noticed the other stolen vehicle pulling into the property that was getting repetitively burglarized. And unfortunately I wasn't able to block him in. He led me on a Mary Chase and at one point he messed up with his gearing and the manual transmission and I was nearly able to rip him out of the classic suburban. But he then ran and I wasn't able to catch up with the tweeker....
So standing guard over the night I didn't really notice any more incursions.

Oh yeah. Wandered over to my friends shop. He showed up and we loaded up.
Getting to the Target location we were able to immediately Target the thief of the boat and keep him under surveillance until he decided to drive off. At which point we followed him and he freaked out trying to race away in a motor home.
Well he is driving crazy so I just passed him. Then I was trying to box him in next to a semi however he decided to make you turn nearly hitting my friend in the follow-up vehicle. And of course nearly running me off the road.
So basically the conclusion of this is now this individual has admitted that he was the one that stole the boat.
I was pretty interested in getting him to talk which he did.
Unfortunately he was not arrested taking a jail or even handcuffed even though he is guilty and admits that he stole and possessed a boat that is clearly over the felony financial statute.
He did get three tickets or so. However now the local law enforcement in Vancouver Washington now has all of his information.
And hopefully this individual will get some charges. .
However this is a complete debacle because all of these criminals are allowed to Rob individuals for everything that isn't nailed down to fund the addiction cycle of fentanyl and now to a lesser degree methamphetamines.
The individual that we were dealing with, absolutely a complete and total methamphetamines addict.
And the homeless camp was over a mile long taking up both sides of the road. We are talking about multiple garbage trucks of garbage just scattered around not to mention the massive amount of human waste as well as misery.
This was absolutely and totally crazy. And these encampments are horrific. Imagine a crack house however it's an entire mile long down the road. Cars getting chopped up prostitutes wandering from dealer to dealer. Violence and crime are so connected with the addiction cycle.
I cannot abide people who take from others. And when my friends need help I need to help them out which this has helped me out quite a great deal because my new friend filled my tank! $145 worth of gasoline.
I've taken a serious chunk to run back and forth hunting these tweakers. However just possibly I might be okay for the rest of this week which will be a huge blessing because puppy dog needs food. Hopefully we will be able to get to the first!
Well I hope all friends can work together and help each other out.
The final thing I can say is it is really a shame when a small business owner is getting stolen from so much that even though they make a good living all of their assets disappear into the hands of these homeless addicts that just make a profession out of stealing from the honest.
