And that would also imply that drugs would be or could have been inside that vehicle, and I just don't buy that yet.

Agree.

It's the first vehicle vandalism I've heard of where JUST the taillights, vent covers and interior door panels were taken.

 

[Woe.be.gone]

Yea...I say skip the throwing stuff in the water idea...just the pics would be more then great!!

Not to mention that, besides getting in trouble and going to an unsafe area, the throwing tests would have to be conducted scientifically to really tell us anything.

Everybody close your eyes or something for my next thought is an unpleasant one - remember when the bodies (of the Katrina flood victims) were not gathered quickly and they went through stages such as bloat and then, I'm not sure what happened. Anyway, if a body is not weighted down, after two plus weeks, I don't know what people should be looking for. Would there still be a recognizable body? Sorry. Even if no alligators?

So you pull the panel, vents, lights, etc looking for drugs......then you take the PARTS with you??? That would be unlikely IMO

IMO they would be stolen and thrown out/destroyed because they were "ripped" out and not removed carefully???

 

[JurysOut]

I am not arguing, I know this so let's just move forward, OK? I didn't fall off the turnip truck last night, in fact, I know a lot about vehicles, including how to pull a motor and transmission, then put them back in. Just because I am a female does NOT mean I am stupid. I asked a question, you answered it, I understood your answer, and moved on, why can't you do the same?:banghead:

JMO, IMO, :moo:, and all other disclaimers.

Uh....yeah

I'm also a woman, never suggested you were stupid.

Done.

Ok if this truly was someone looking for drugs, I suppose the parts could have been thrown in the fire after being removed, in attempt to remove fingerprints.

 

[LafayetteMom]

Actually lol, the quotes aren't correct, lindsayw said what's inside your quotes and her's was wrong as well, but yeah, I get it.

Not sure WHY it does that but I have noticed it several times!

Or in the case of the tail lights and headlights, they could sell them, as there are a lot of Yukons out there.

JMO, IMO, :moo:, and all other disclaimers...

LOL, toooo funny.

 

[Schmidty]

Where did the truck fire and theft of pressure washers occur?

720 East University

 

[Donamena]

i am alarmed

Doesn't Lake Martin have lots of houses camps, etc & that weird 'tower' house around it?

 

[gngr~snap]

Actually lol, the quotes aren't correct, lindsayw said what's inside your quotes and her's was wrong as well, but yeah, I get it.

I am so sorry! I removed it. (not sure how that happened)

 

[tezi]

Uh....yeah

I'm also a woman, never suggested you were stupid.

Done.

Sorry, just a bit touchy today due to my ongoing health issues...I understood your point about tracing the individual parts.

 

[mahmoo]

Maybe the "Yukon" was a "drug store" of sorts?
Sure sounds drug related to me.

It seems pretty far fetched and assumptive to speculate that this poor guy, who just had his business burned down and his vehicle vandalized, is harboring drugs??? That is really streeeeeeeeeeeeetching in my opinion.

 

[LafayetteMom]

LOL, toooo funny.

You see, it did it again!

eta: and again! I didn't say "LOL, toooo funny. You did.

WTH is up with that?

FWIW, I didn't say that. WS is misquoting me :waitasec: But I agree with you, and am not worried about whether this guy had drugs or not.

Well, I'm glad I'm not losing my mind.

I noticed yesterday a quote was attributed to me, figured I just read too many posts. Or that I'd forgotten what I'd written.

 

[mamamia54]

No worries gngr seems to be happening at will now.

 

[JurysOut]

Me neither, whoever WS says you are today.

I know ... I saw the original quote was broken and fixed it on my post. You're off the hook lol

 

[Schmidty]

I read earlier (can't remember if it was here or media) that the fire location was corner of Taft and University. It's not; it is on the corner of Wilson and University.
