Yes, I was referring to the gas cap DOOR and the fact that many vehicles have a button on the dash for opening those fuel doors. I only brought it up because of your above comment ("I'm puzzled, though...") concerning the location of the "keys"....yata yata
As for the story itself, it was obviously a serious error in judgement for the father to leave his keys in the vehicle while he was away from the vehicle.
That isn't an issue where we live, but I know it is out there.
I'm sure that the ACLU will be falling all over themselves in a rush to sign him up as a poster subject for their campaign against "fascist police harassing disadvantaged minorities"
I have no doubt that this thug has a very friendly relationship with that fine organization.
Thank you for your kind reply :-) Hopefully you will still exercise your rights to self-protection, as these gangs are encroaching upon previously "safe" communities precisely because they regard such places as "easy pickings".
Chena....listen to Stoat. EVERYONE listen to Stoat. I see this crude-like scum every day.
You're welcome, Stoat. Yes, we must all protect ourselves. I'm fortunate to live in a small community in Interior Alaska where crimes such as these are unheard of. When we go to Fairbanks or Anchorage, we always lock our vehicles, and during the cold winter months, one set of keys stays in the ignition to keep the vehicle running. But locally, we leave the keys in the ignition pretty much all of the time.
I believe you, Brad's Gramma. Like I was explaining to Stoat, our situation here is unusual. That being said, I'm always extremely cautious when I have to go to what we call the "other world". My husband and I plan on spending a few months each winter in the Lower 48 and although I love the thought of warmer weather, I am terribly fearful of the dangers I hear so much about.
I'm running away from home and heading to Alaska.
Got an extra room? ;)
You bet I do, and I even put fresh linens on the guest room bed today. Come on up! Blue skies today and it was only 47 below this morning. lol ;)
Um. Well. Um. Hmmmmmmmm.......
Did your 'puter freeze up? teehee Ok, you can wait until spring, I'll understand. LOL
Yeah. But. Winter will come back.
THEN what???? This isn't a temporary visit you know. My sewing machine(s), computer(s), MANY books and stuff are coming with me...
So? WHAT ABOUT WINTER??? ;)
Thank you very much for your kind words :-) (((blushing)))
Here's a nice bowl of gumbo for you
I see this crude-like scum every day.
I'm very sorry to hear that "sigh"
Hopefully you are surrounded by loving and unapologetically chivalrous gents who will keep you safe.
If not, here's a nice "granny gun" for you :-)
WHOOOO HOOOOOOO!!!
Thank you THANK YOU thank YOU!!!
Oh yes, you're absolutely correct, winter WILL come back. Alaska is funny that way. Winter is long, dark, and kind of nippy. Minus 30 to -60 isn't unusual, and when it's brutal cold there isn't much to do outside, but it sure is cozy inside. A good time to spend days sewing, posting on FR, sewing, posting on FR, reading books and posting on FR....and of course stoking the fire.
Now you can be a pistol-packin' mama like me!
Just so you don't get flooded with FReepmail requests...you don't need to bold, italicize, and enlarge the text to illustrate what was written earlier in the thread. Italics is a sufficient "reminder" and is what is generally used on this forum.
Thanks,

What is even scarier is the possibity that they DID know better which makes them NO better. Who are the good guys? I guess I'll find out on the local news, right?
You're right. A judge isnt a rocket science either, is he? Evidence of dangerous intent is definately easy to prove!
I was curious too and looked up another story. The tattoo on his neck is his name "NEZ."
I'm glad the little one wasn't hurt. An adorable little boy.
