Any forensic photo specialists?

Someone with the right computer program could possibly get a glimpse of the genius through the side mirror.

I was able to zoom in and, using highly sophisticated proprietary software, and with helpful guidance of my CIB D/Sgt DW, enhance the image enough to possibly ID the driver.

Boy was I wrong. I guess what we see on CSI is real. Mad world isn't it!

I was once driving home and the car in front of me was probably a 1957 T-bird or something collectable like that.

At a curve in the road, a bunch of gas swashed out his vehicle. Clearly he had a full tank and no cap

I didn't know if he knew that or not and traffic got us seperated BUT, I did write down his license plate.

The next day, I wrote him a letter explaining that I wasn't a nut and what I saw. Was doing so, in case he DID have some kind of problem that he was otherwise unaware of...

I then took the letter (unsealed so they could read it) to the place where I go to get my license plates renewed... I basically asked her if she could read the letter to see the good intent of it, look his number up and send it to him FOR me (I already had postage on it)

Bottom line.... she simply gave me his name and address right on the spot

Although I was VERY surprised by this (and perhaps since 911, this logic has changed) she said that they don't give that info out over the phone but if someone comes in for it that they DID give that info out.

I sent it on to him and a couple days later, got a very gracious thank you phone call from him.

So, perhaps you can get his name/address same way...

anyone here have a friend 'Guido' that he can borrow for a day??

Thanks heywood. Maybe I can get you a guest appearance on the tv show medium. The two of you would be infallible. LOL. I still haven't heard back from the sheriffs dept. I'm guessing the deputy works nights or has the day off. Maybe just bigger fish to fry. I'm curios if he managed to steal anything. No call from neighbor yet either. I can't believe someone with such a nice truck would do it either. See what 0 down and 0% interest gets us. Faster crooks.

Well, here are my questions
1. Did you show the blown up picture to your neighbor?
2. Does he recognize the truck?
3. Did he give anyone permission or authority to be on his property or in a building/dwelling?
4. Is anything missing or damaged?

These are the questions that can bring the incident up to a felony. If the crime is serious enough, the locals can do what we calla "lawman" search with the partial plate. Looks like a Ford, probably F350 crew cab. That's alot of info to go with. Wish I caught a case like that.

I'd like to know what he was "looking" for? GIving up on the chase was the wise thing to do. Up here in NY we aren't allowed to chase anyone. We just follow closely

See what your neighbor has to say.

 

[jsboening]

Neighbors on vacation till Sunday. He's not returning my voice mail nor is the deputy. Door was broken in but as far as any thing being stolen I couldn't tell. His garage is kind of messy. Hopefully the guy had just gotten in but, when do things ever work out so well.

 

[Donman]

I've often thought about what I would do if I ever came upon a situation like that and I realize that hindsight is always 20/20, but if you parked behind him so he couldn't move, do you think he would risk damage to his truck (if it was his) trying to get away?

Professional alarm systems don't sleep or eat poison but they sure scream LOUD !!
I just ordered a $100 + worth of updates

Would you really want to corner an armed meth head in a stolen F350?

The police more than likely will rattle the truck owner's cage, but it sounds like there aren't any witnesses to the damage to the garage... unless he left his wallet behind (inside!) he would just say "I stopped to check out the broken door.... some crazy came after me, I thought he was dangerous and escaped (thank goodness!)" or some such and no one can prove otherwise.

But, he is unlikely to return that neighborhood full of nosy people!

 

[jsboening]

My neighbor has a circle drive so there was no way to block him in. But I don't think I'd want to corner him anyway. I attached a aerial photo of his place I found on the internet. His garage is at the top of the loop(north) and his house is at the left of the loop(west). There is also another house in front to the southeast. She's an older lady and wouldn't hear a bomb go off. Anyway I'm going to try to call deputy one more time tomorrow. After that it's my neighbors job. I'm putting to much time into this. Ya think?

 

[MrJimi]

Do you have
googleearth.com download ? Its in color and real good
try it

 

[mjncad]

Why does not the Law Enforcement Officer have the photo and have their experts working on it?

Simple, that cuts into doughnut time at Dunkin Doughnuts, Winchell's, or the local independent doughnut dealer.

 

[mjncad]

Have you thought of posting the video on YouTube? Maybe somebody might recognize the truck.

I saw on the TV news tonight that one Colorado cop department posted a video that a victim's home security camera system made of two dummies burglarizing his home. Someone saw the video on YouTube, called the cops since they recognized the low-lifes, and the cops arrested the pair.

 

[mjncad]

It would be worth the ticket to catch this guy. I can't even tell you how many times I've avoided a speeding ticket because the cop had his head buried in his computer. No I don't drive like a maniac! I think its just the world we have made for ourselves. We have distractions everywhere and I think it's going to be impossible to police this. Maybe we need cameras Everywhere? 1984 anyone? Anyone else feel were being lawed to death? I see our fredom shrinking more every year. How about an ammendment to repeal some of the laws?

We have so many laws and cameras in public and private places anymore that I agree that in some ways it feels like 1984. Anybody got a good deal on Victory Razor Blades?

Many years ago I was driving westbound on a busy street when a snot nosed kid with a lightning bolt earring driving a Subaru blew by me, swung into my lane and pulled up short. I rear ended him as a result of his stupid driving; but of course I was in the wrong in the eyes of the law. Anyway, my S-10 pickup without 5-MPH bumpers took more damage than his Gooberu did. The kid told me he was late for work and that he had no insurance. I busted a gut laughing and told him we're calling the cops. He didn't leave; but was clearly upset at the prospect of not getting to his record store job (a guess) since I insisted on calling the cops. The cop came, investigated the accident, thanked me for my cooperation and apologized for having to write me a ticket. Then he proceeded to ream the kid a new a$$hole for not having insurance.

Many years before that incident, it was a cold January night (-20) and I had gotten off the swing shift. It was icy and I had a drunk broad run into me, and fortunately there were no injuries. This gal was drunk as a skunk because her boyfriend left her to go to Georgia. I had the gall to call the Denver PD on this one too, and since the cops had to come out in -20 temps, they let her go home with a motorist who claimed to be an Aurora (Denver burb) auxiliary cop. The auxiliary cop no doubt got laid by the drunk broad, my car was damaged, and the Denver PD's doughnut break was interrupted. I called the Aurora cops about the auxiliary cop and they were real interested in what I had to say. The Denver cops didn't give a crap when I complained that their cops didn't haul an obviously drunk woman to the can for the night.

Well now we know it wasn't Jimmy Hoffa who was doing the B & E.

 

[jsboening]

Is there anything Google doesn't do. Google banking, Google car wash, Google grocery, University of Google? Whats gonna be next?

 

[TheHammer]

I hope the deputy follows up and does the right thing. In this case, there's actually a witness, and a good photograph af the attempted burglary. Seems like much more than they usually have to go on. I just hope it wasn't a stolen plate or vehicle. I wish there were more good neighbors like you.

I had a minor run-in with an idiot not too long ago. I pulled into a full-serve gas station to fill up. A car on the other side of the pumps pulled away with the nozzle still in. Man, those things can stretch! When it popped out, it missed the attendant by about 6 inches and ended up hitting my car, leaving a nice size dent. The kid driving just looked at me and peeled away. I did get the plate number and figured I'd just call the cops and let them do their thing. Turns out the tag on the kid's car was false and the cops couldn't do anything about it anyway. I'm just glad the poor attendant didn't get hurt.

How does a picture of Alfred E. Newman clear Jimmy Hoffa as a suspect?

 

[daTeacha]

Maybe your neighbor had borrowed this guys mower (or whatever) and failed to return it. The guy came to get it after many calls, got frustrated, and kicked the door. When it broke, he realized how stupid he was being and departed. Then he saw you chasing him and panic set in, causing to flee at high speed. He has since called your neighbor and explained, and is planning to set things right when the neighbor gets home. The cops have been informed and no more will be done.

And there is a really nice bridge connecting the U P with the rest of Michigan that I can sell you for a heck of a good price since there is a former union leader buried in the concrete making up the south pier anchoring the thing in place.
