I got woke up this AM about 5:30 by a chopper overhead in slow flight. After laying there for a few minutes I went down stairs and turned on the TV. It seems that the little store a few blocks over from me was the victim of a smash and grab robbery this AM. The vehicle of choice for entry was a backhoe!!!.
Here is a pic of what's left of the store...
Here is the backhoe going up on the tow truck...
If you look closely you can see the crime scene tape in the background of the backhoe pick. The perp had drove the backhoe back into a small wooded area where it got stuck. He then jumped off the back hoe and ran across the Santa Fe RR yard and jumped in the Kansas River where he proceeded to attempt to drown. A couple of KC,KS finest jumped in and saved his sorry butt.
The cops are okay and so is the perp, dang it.
Well the week is off to a flying start :-) Y'all have a great week!!!
