Jerry's work van got broken into while he was in town.
They stole some power tools.
Jerry was so mad. He can't stand anyone touching his tools. He goes nuts if any of us use any. He's real particular about his tools.
They broke the steering column on the van too and busted in the locks and a window.
Jerry called the sheriff who is his good buddy and made a report, then they both went directly to the Pawn shop and recoverd the stolen stuff right away. The Pawn shop owner gave them the information on who these guys were and they were picked up within a few hours and thrown in jail. There's no bail because they are already on probabation.
The van is old so we only had minium insurance on it so it's getting junked. State Farm told him that if it happend on our property some insurance would have kicked in.
In these cases we can ask the court mediator to get us restitution so we can get back atleast what the van was worth at time of the robbery so that's pretty cool. The sheriff listed worth of the van and tools at $1500 for him.
Jerry's so sad, well, more mad than sad. He loved his crappy old work van,. It ran good and was always reliable and had all new really good tires just put on it for winter; so this means he'll have to get another one that's parked back here behind that garage up and running now. One less in my vehicle graveyard.
The crooks said they did it to buy beer for the weekend. I knew it, I just knew it. They were getting ready for a weekend of party. I swear, some people.
