Finally caught the bastard!
« on: August 26, 2018, 10:01:25 PM »
For the past 3 months I have been doing a complete facade and internal gut of a strip mall. During that time approximately two dozen times we've come back the next day or after a weekend to find the on-site dumpsters full of trash. Sometimes it's household but normally its other people's construction waste. In total its cost me somewhere in the range of about $8,000 in dump fees.  So last week I installed a game camera hooked up to cellular network.  Whenever there's movement I get a text message. On Wednesday I got some very good pictures of a guy in a blue truck unloading it in the back of my dumpster. Sadly the camera did not get the plates. Tonight I got a text when I just happened to be about 1 mile away picking up some stuff at the local Home Depot. I left the cart, jumped in the truck hauled ass over there and caught them red-handed. From across the street I called the cops, they showed up about three minutes later( the strip mall is litterely 300 yards as the crow days from thier hq, shows how dumb/ high they are) gave them a nice set of chrome bracelets. Come to find out these guys had warrants in three states all heroin-related.

Good job TAB! Is there any way you can be reimbursed? If there's a victims advocate department you can talk to them and submit your receipts for the dump bills to the court. They should at least have to pay for the times you caught them on camera.

They are druggies, only thing I could do is sue  them and they would never pay.   For the $1000 I can prove was them, it's not worth it .

I mean yes the judge could rule they pay, but it won't happen and they are wanted in 3 states

"Wanted in three states" should keep them off the streets for an appreciable amount of time--at least if the other states hear about them being in custody and they exercise extradition.  Notification is not a given these days.  You might want to follow up on that with the local LEO just to make sure notices have been sent.  It would be a shame if these cretins did not have a chance to enjoy jail hospitality for as much time as they have earned by their bad behavior.

Other than that, nice job TAB.  You have saved unknown others from suffering loss at the hands of these pukes.  Or at least postponed said loss.

Could you put a lien against their truck?

They might have assets not illegal to possess and not direct evidence that you could get a lien.

Start a Go-Fund-Me in their name to help them pay off the cost of getting abused by an overbearing government.  Would help a lot of they were illegal immigrants....

it's possible, but given that they are wanted on drug charges I doubt they have any.  Given the condition of those truck(fake plate, bald tires, etc)  I doubt it's even theirs.  The impound will get all of the money from it i am sure.

That sucks. I thought you could recover some of your losses, but it doesn't sound like it.

If they're wanted in 3 states, can they be tried and convicted in each one, and serve 3 consecutive sentences? Or just in one jurisdiction? It would be nice if they served time for every crime they committed, but that's not going to happen.

No clue, just going by what the arresting officer told me that they had warrant out.   Hard too say what will happen.  I know they arrested  them here for e misdemeanors  and 2 felonies.
