They drove off and caused a hit and run in the road. They were caught and had several earlier convictions for drugs, theft, assault, etc. AFter all that, they were given $100 fines and time served by a liberal county judge. The DA investigator said next time, I should just kill them; and that it would save everyone a lot of time and headache. But after that, I have had nobody approaching the house. Even all the salesmen that stopped by quit stopping by. I guess word got out that I wasnt a man to be messed with and Im OK with that.
You're lucky that you live where you do. If that happened up here in the liberal Northeast, you'd be in jail and the thieves would be walking the streets. They'd probably even sue you and get the trailer, your vehicle and your house in settlement.
That's if your lucky! You would get like 15-20 years prison for endangerment, reckless discharge, attempted murder, ect...
