Hick went to check on his cabin today. Somebody had been in it again. One of his vintage metal lunch boxes was in the middle of the floor, with a dent, like somebody had tried to stomp it. He was missing a little brass ship. Only one left, where there had been two. He went on down to his original cabin, the A-Frame, and found the door standing wide open.<br /><br />Hick did some (free) work for his buddy, Buddy, on a different rental house, and told him about his little renters. Buddy said he'd have a talk with the dad.<br /><br />It seems to me that if people keep letting them off the hook, "Oh, they're just kids," they'll keep on seeing what they can get away with.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-937038870722238271.post-4589057763769712982020-02-19T20:44:30.399-06:002020-02-19T20:44:30.399-06:00DEFINITELY make a report at the Sheriff's offi...DEFINITELY make a report at the Sheriff's office, with a photocopy of the phot attached.

I know that some kids this age think they don't have to answer to a substitute, who is not a REAL teacher. Nor to a neighbor, who is not their REAL parent. The dad already told that turquoise kid that he was surprised Hick didn't call the police. A visit from them could make a point, a preventative measure.<br /><br />City police don't come out here. It's the county deputies. Hick and other neighbors have called to ask about other situations, and they always suggest filing a report, so there's a paper trail for possible future problems. That's how Backcreek Neighbor Bev got her restraining order against Crazy Stick-Road Dude, after documenting multiple instances like verbal threats, and the swastika he put up on their adjoining property line.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-937038870722238271.post-73026427247374792582020-02-19T19:14:29.900-06:002020-02-19T19:14:29.900-06:00The property they rent sits on 10 acres.
