Just found a low life waiting in a neighbors driveway


Recommended Posts

Came home from work, and saw a strange car in the neighbors driveway.

The car and type of person wasnt the type this neighbor would usually entertain.

I politely (in Texas terms) let him know if he didnt leave, some blood may be left in the driveway.

Considering he shit his pants, and I don't need any legal fees, I let him drive away.

Got his plates,called the cops, and no damage to the house was done.

Cops said his plates were 2 years expired.

I'm thankful no bullets were fired, and Im sure he mistook my black flashlight for a 9mm loaded with HST pointing at his chest.

This this was not my property, Texas law does not allow you to use deadly force.

That's very neighborly of you. Good job.

 

Coming home from work one day I blocked in some teenagers that pulled in my gate area right off the road. Funny kind of timing...everybody became clear of possible misunderstandings and they left without problem. Think they were kind of freaked out.

 

Similar approach situations for the neighbors property and mine over the years. Some innocent misunderstandings some very much not.

 

So far so good.

That same shit has happened to me but at my house. Arrived to find asshole human smugglers pretending to be the owners of my house parked in my spot. What sucks is my wife and kids were home and never noticed the dudes outside.

Blocking in doesn't seem to be recommended here. Many times vehicles get rammed or shot at. You still did the right thing being a good witness and no one got hurt.

I live in a relatively quiet neighborhood, but that being said Im only a stones throw away from the twin cities and the inner city trash somehow keeps trickling out and landing here. Its a shame they cant have a check point at the river to avoid all that crap.

Excellent job! We need more people like you! If we don't look out for each other, regardless how you feel about the neighbor, we are all in the s(*t.

 

I haven't had a problem with people robbing neighbors (or myself), but we did have a rash of bank-repossessed houses used as delivery sites for identity thieves. I identified a car involved, and got a partial plate, and wasn't informed by the police of any action, but the deliveries stopped.

 

I'd stand up for any of my neighbors, and there are a few I don't care for. Its more important to keep my neighborhood safe than it is to let your annoying neighbor get robbed.

If he would have produced a weapon, that would have worked.

I was trying to avoid having both a large legal bill & scrutiny from the security required for the job.

Fair enough. However, was he big? Could he have reached for something?

 

I mean, that shit works for the cops...

5'10'-6' and about 200 lbs. He was too concerned about my 'flashlight' aimed at his chest from about twenty feet away to do anything.

will you be my neighbor, i could not pass it up. hell my neighors would help carry my stuff to their van,moving truck or dumpster

 

My neighbors would do the same. Except for this 80yr. old German lady next door that lives by herself.

 

Today heading to work I heard on the radio(local news). That in my area they want to welcome low income families and give them $5,000 towards closing cost and 40% towards down payment.

I remodeled the whole house from wood floors, tile in both bathrooms, Showers, kitchen tiled with cabinet's, to the roof. We would just break even selling in this down market.

But I'm done with all these low life's that moved into this area bringing our property value down.

That's bullshit. We have left over New Orleans refugees that our former beloved mayor invited to Houston. The cockroaches won't leave. They have lowered propey values, and increased the crime rate.

Everytime I see a New Orleans tattoo or car decal on the scum, my blood pressure rises. Fuck our former mayor......send all the New Orleans cockroaches back home.

I sympathize with you bro. Atlanta threw out the welcome mat for the katrina rats back in the day, and then pushed them out into burbs where they have been creeping into surrounding small towns ever since. The town I grew up in surrounded by pastures and woods is now overdeveloped and engulfed with cheap housing for these rats. You cant drive down the road without seeing the gangbangers congregating on every other block,. I wish these rats could go back to the urban shithole they came from, but the pickings are too easy for them here and the free ride never ends thanks to our govt.....

Lemme be the voice of dissention, but I think OP is a damned fool idiot. Thats the kind of shit that got Zimmerman in JAIL, and he HAD a legitimate reason to be there. You see a thug in his parked car next to YOUR home, and decide its a good idea to intimidate him? Seems incredibly reckless and dangerous. What kept you from taking down the plate number and calling the cops? Other than feeling you're some sort of small-potatoes Punisher-esque badass? Cops have body armor, shotguns on hand, endless backup, but most importantly ironclad legal justification for their actions, a crapton of life insurance and they get paid a shittom of money to do it.

 

Keep rolling the dice, some day it will come up snake eyes. You family will take comfort from what a good neighbor you were while they are burying you, sure.

No Zimmerman here. Raised by father who was carreer LE, and all of his cousins were theifs. No animosity at all between dad's and his family members. I witnessed alot watching both sides.

Too many burglaries around here recently. Plates were taken down,LE was called. Didn't block him in, lowered the flashlight after realizing he was not looking for a physical conflict. This was a simple theif looking for opportunity.

So did you actually draw down on the shitheads where they thought you were shining a (weapon) light on them? I agree your actions are kind of reckless. Hell, here in FL, Zimmerman had the "stand your ground" law behind him and look where he is at. Defense of yourself or others is one thing. Approaching and intimidating someone is another.

Fully agree with you. Using intimidation to stop the fvcker from breaking into houses is a whole lot better then letting him breaki in, and possibly grabbing someones gun(s).

Zimmermans deal was they were both in the street. This guy was pulled fully in the driveway, during a time of day most people are at work.. He wasn't using the driveway to turn around, the street is a wide cul-de-sac.

BTW...you did read the fvcker's vehicle plates were two years out of date per the Sherrif. This guy is hiding from someone, or some local agency.

I lost my home to Katrina. I lived a mile from the gulf in Biloxi. (Stationed at Gulfport.) After the storm left myself and some other Seabees moved into a friends farm located about ten miles outside of town. There was no power,no clean water, no jail...Just pure chaos. Hell when the would ship in gas from FL they had to escort it with five or six state troopers. Anyways we banded together with some other farms and patrolled about a five mile area. We were more then 8 miles from I-10 and I can not even begin to count how many out of state cars we stopped and turned away. They were out of state fucking looters looking for shit to steal. My point is that working together with our neighbors to stop this tidal wave of scum may be the only thing we can do.
