A little excitement in our little town
There is a car Thief sitting in a fifth wheel hiding from the RCMP 150 feet from my back window. Him and a girl are barricaded in but the RCMP will not enter without a warrant of course. A whie Super Duty was stolen from Chauvin this morning and they left it at the arena here so the police were notified. I found the guy walking followed him until he got in the fifth wheel. A lady saw him throw the keys.
More to come...

Better yet, three or four tasers, seeing as how the thieves will likely get a slap on the wrist.

I'm looking forward to when Miller or Lincoln expand from making welders, and get in to making Industrial Tasers. The kind that make uncooperative criminal types light up like Las Vegas.
Maybe I'm just projecting my feelings too much......

When the LEO was banging on the door of the 5th wheel I was back a couple hundred feet watching, hoping that he was not going to get shot by the bastard in the trailer. I told the LEO that had something gone down I would have had my rifle out the window and taken the guy down. I was amazed when he said, and I am quoting him; "well I hope so!"
The pic of the 2 at the car was taken from my bedroom window with my cell phone. I grabbed my big DSLR with the huge lens but the battery was dead
At that range I could have used my bow. It was nice knowing the RCMP trusted me as his backup. Cool day, great ending.

At least until he pooped himself, multiple times.
I have ZERO sympathy for thieves.
A stolen F-250, how much ya wanna bet he had no theft deterrent at all, even though it's one of the most commonly stolen vehicles?
Protect your stuff people, nobody is going to do it for you!
By protect I mean theft deterrent like an aftermarket alarm with starter kill, not the Mr.Stanley method that's going to cost you $250K in legal fees even though I'm ok with that method and even prefer it, don't wanna get shot, don't steal, pretty simple.

We live in Chauvin and heard that a truck was stolen out front of Benoit’s office. Was wondering who in town would steal a truck and who would do it in broad daylight.
Overall pretty quiet around here. We make sure the trucks are locked at night but don’t think twice about leaving them running if we are just going into the bank or post office. Hell, we accidentally left our big garage door open for a weekend and came back to everything in its place.

I’m sure it was running in front of their office on Main Street. We live in a town of 300 people in the middle of nowhere. You definitely notice if somebody doesn’t belong. Curious where this dude came from.

Looks like you don't have to go far for entertainment, glad they were caught. Good reporting.

I guess we've been lucky. Our security system consists of 3 dogs and a motion light outside. We feel pretty safe out here. I don't own any firearms and don't feel the need to. The vehicles are usually locked at night but it has been forgotten. The garage is locked but like I said the bay door was left open for 3 days and nothing was missing. We leave our door unlocked when we go to work for the day. Lock it at night. Being a small town, I am sure a neighbor would notice a strange vehicle in our driveway loading up my stuff.

Maybe some of you folk in the rural areas better think twice about lackadaisical security.
Not too far away from the recent source of the " uprising"

The crime is usually out on the farms, etc...not in the towns.

Glad to hear these losers got caught. Too bad our "justice" system will probably let them out too soon...

Just a word of warning, you can take my advice or leave it, but in this day and age I'd say you've been lucky and I wouldn't rely on your luck to hold up forever. The best way not to become a victim is to do what you can to prevent it, not push your luck and think it can't happen to you.
The size of town or rural location has little to do with being a victim of a crime, scum bags have vehicles too.
I have my vehicles broken into so often I don't even bother calling the cops anymore, and it took 3 times but now my cabin has been broken into enough that they've gotten pretty much anything of value I used to have out there, the worst part is they leave the door open so the dam mice get in there. It's not fun so like I said, if I were you I wouldn't rely on luck any longer but it's up to you.

Then there's also those of us who refuse to live our lives on the defensive. We cultivate good, alert neighbours who aren't afraid of approaching strangers with a friendly "Hi - can I help you with something?". Sure we take reasonable precautions, but often leave our home and car unlocked, items unattended, and deliveries left on our porch.
This senior has never been robbed, seriously threatened, scammed or hacked - ever, and I feel sorry for people who live fearful lives.
Sure, it can happen to me, but I'll accept that - there's too many good things to enjoy in this short life without a paranoia of the bad.
