If it a'int pit...

So I am now part of a robbery investigation. Amanda and I haven't even lived here a full 48 hours and I am part of a robbery investigation!

Quick back story. We have moved, moved this past Saturday to be exact. I have to say if it was not for the help of Chris, Brad, Jamal, Gary Eugene, Martha Jo, Alison Lee, Melissa B. we would be stuggling today. As of right now, we are 90% unpacked, had a little trouble with the washer and dryer, but the guys got it done, then it wanted to spit water out everywhere on Sunday, but hey, being a homeowner isn't easy. The fence people will finish Dixon's new fence on Tuesday(it had to be moved two feet back onto our property) and he will be able to folic outside again and chase the rabbits!

Ok now back to our original story.

Amanda, Dixon and I piled into the mighty Trogdor this morning to go clean up the old place and close it out. As we were pulling down the street, I noticed a white Ford Expedition coming down the road. It was pimped out, large tires, dark windows, two thug like kids(they were young looking with caps on their heads that were twisted to the sides, that is how they rolled) in the front. I didn't think about it. As we were about to pull out of our subdivision, we renumbered a few things and turned around. As we pulled into our driveway I noticed the Expediton parked in the driveway across the street. What I thought was funny was the big sticker on the back that had the white outline of a pit bulls head and underneath in white it said
IF IT A'INT PIT
IT A'INT S%*T
Being the person I am laughed at how stupid it was and began the day long contemplation of who and why would anyone put that on the back on your tricked out SUV! Later that day, Amanda, Dixon and I had come home and Dixon jumped up and went to the window, Amanda followed to see what it was. Two of Apex's finest had pulled up to the house across the street. They had gone into the house with hands on the hips ready for anything, the owner sitting outside in his truck just waiting. The two officers finally came out and talked to the guy. After a while, the officers were walking up and down the street talking to people in our neighborhood, they came and asked my fence guys a couple of questions. I went outside to see what was going on. Apparently my neighbors 60 inch TV decided to get up and walk away this morning! My fence guy asked me if we saw anything, I told him about the SUV and one of the officers was immediately flagged over. I told him what I saw, and they all got excited when I told them about this SUV (maybe they to want to see the moron who puts that type of sticker on their back window) but apparently this vehicle is the clue they needed. I got called tonight by a detective and everything!

What I don't understand is, why would anyone want to turn this little guy:


into something that can do so much harm as to ruin the back window of a perfectly good car.

I will hopefully keep you all up to date on the next chapter of the theivery on Thonrcrest.
