Well this gets even crazier. Apparently after the newscast they came back and took 3 more vehicles. The first 2 guys were arrested and still in jail. New thieves!! No telling what I'm dealing with here. A Corvette, a cattle trailer, and an army jeep 2 ton truck made into a firetruck. After the newscast a guy called and said he knows where all the stolen stuff is located. I've been talking with him and now he's talking with the sheriff. I hope just a matter of time.

Pleasure meeting you too Pete. Well guys, did a news story last nite,KOTV Channel 6, https://www.newson6.com/story/60d667f45313e70c02ca0784/thieves-steal-250000-worth-of-classic-cars-bicycles-from-pawnee-county-man-. Shortly after this a guy called and said the property where he is living, the land owner had been bring in several trailers of cars. He went to check this morning and one of the cars under a tarp was a older red mustang fastback. He said there must be a least 20 large tarps covering stuff on the back of the property. put a call into the sheriff. We'll see what happens. Praying this turns out to be something.

Good seeing everyone this year. Had a great time. Came home to a mess tho. While I was gone some one went to my farm where all my toys were stored and cleaned me out. 6 simplexs, about 200 antique bicycles, 3 mustangs, a 68 nova, and a 71 dodge truck. No telling what else. Called the sheriff. While the deputy and I were talking we heard a vehicle coming up the road. My shop and cabin are better than a quarter mile off the county road. The deputy went to check them out and I jumped into my truck to catch them. There were two guys and a girl in a bronco pulling a car hauler trailer no doubt coming back for more. Got the trailer jackknifed and I pulled in front of the truck where they couldn't leave. The fact I had a weapon pulled on them might have also been a deterrent. The deputy called for backup. The sheriff and 5 deputies were there in about 15min. The 2 guys went to jail. They let the girl go but the next day the girl and some guy tried to break into the police impound yard to get something out of the bronco. They got away but know there will be several charges against her and they guy with her. Went to social media and the local news station. Already leads are starting to come in. Hope I can get part of my stuff back. The things that happen to be able to tell stories. Wow!!!!

Hey Rick, Mike and I will be there. Mike's picking one up to ride. I haven't had much time. Wife had he hip replaced in Oct, knee replaced in Feb, right now we're in the hospital with pneumonia. On the upside I did go to Arkansas and picked a bunch of frames and parts. Bought a big fender deluxe sportsman from Mike. Now if I can just find time to wrench and ride.

The VMBC site has changed the Portland dates this year to Wed June 16th to Sat June 19th. At least it won't be so hot in June. Hope it works this year. Missed seeing everyone last year. Bob
