Funk probably had hopes of getting high that day, but I don’t think that’s what he had in mind.


Ha! Love it.

That looks like a scene from a movie directed by either
the late Burt Reynolds or Clint Eastwood.
Lots of guitar riffing music in the background.
Look for a Jackie Gleason double, in a sherif uniform, driving up in his patrol car.

Would have been a shame if that car had been dumped, accidentally, into an operating car compactor.

Stick a fork in him, he’s done.

I talked to a guy once who told me that two different cars were parked in his driveway during a town car show. He had a forklift in his barn. He moved one car over and stacked the second one on top of the first.

They should visit a local animal shelter and get a couple of pit bulls for additional security....

Employees told police Funk had broken in several times before. They said they let him go the first time.


Folks,

Letting them go is not a kindness. But you do it because they are not worth your time.

There are a lot of people in this world not worth my time. But If I love them, I will take the time to correct them.

Hold people accountable for little things, teach them.

In the town where I lived when I was young there was a metal-working shop that was a frequent target for theft. That activity stopped when the owner posted a sign stating that when the shop closed they released a number of rattlesnakes into the shop. How many? the robbers had to guess ...

Clickbait. The car has no front wheels, the guy was in the backseat.

Good on the cops in this case- at least a mentslly deranged dem governor or whatever didn’t tell them to stand down on arresting the perp, and tell them to charge the lift operator with kidnapping the perp and holding him agaisnt his will
