And the latest:
Somebody might have retired their GMT400, because we now have the name of somebody who tried to sell some material like what we had stolen. A different make of truck, registered to that guy, was photographed after dark one night in October, obviously "scoping out" the materials.
Last week, we got back a large quantity of the stolen stuff, and saw a lot of similar stuff that wasn't ours. I think somebody else in the area got ripped off, and I think I know whose it was.
Suspect #1 has a long record, but I don't know if any of it was felony-level before this. The stuff we got back is worth over a grand, so he and his accomplice got some 'splainin' to do.
Still a lot of work ahead to tie it all up neatly for prosecution, but we're better off than we were earlier this year.
Thanks again to the "Squint Squad," for trying to puzzle out the plate number on the truck in the photos.
