(i.e. the next-door neighbour Gem collector) 25 years ago, before I immigrated to the UK, I lived in East Tennessee. A beautiful piece of very rural property with mountain views and forest behind my home. Perfect place to raise my Arabian horses. I lived on 130 acres in the middle of nowhere. My closest neighbours were a half mile on either side. One November, I had to make the trip to Ohio for a wedding. Much to my surprise, when I returned home, yellow LE tape surrounded my home and property. A man had camped on my property for 4 days. He had been hired to terrorise a man who lived further up the mountain because he owed a substantial amount of drug money supposedly kept in a safe. He beat the poor man, drugged him, and handcuffed him so he couldn't escape. Over the next four days, he again terrorised him and broke both his arms because he wouldn't give the safe combo. There was no safe, money, or drugs! The man began yelling after the thief left and went back to his camp, and the neighbours heard him, found him, and called LE. When I returned home, I was interrogated relentlessly because I was out of town and even had to prove that I had attended a wedding in Ohio. It shook me to the core. The evil spawn who did this had the wrong person! My point is that it is likely the NG wasn't the person the perp wanted. Strange things happen! I hope this is ok to share. If not, I will gladly remove it! jmo
