ugh, that guy again?

hey fucker get in my house thread I'm planning some concrete foundation shit
Have 486 wait inside the window bent over with his pants down? Win/win
I had a co worker that got a "barn find" 86 bronco that him and his kid were working on together. He knows I am a car guy and was giving me weekly updates on their progress. I hadnt seen him in a few weeks and making small talk I asked him how his project was coming along, He tells me someone sabotaged it. I was all wtf??? sabotaged it? He said he went to start it and nothing, starts to look around and finds 4 of the spark plugs were super loose, he knows for a fact they were tightened because he used the torque wrench to install them. Then realizes all the fuses are pulled out of the fuse block. He put them back in and it would crank but no fuel. Traced it down to the fuel pump wire inside the loom was cut.
The whole time I am listening to this I was baffled someone would do that. I asked him who he pissed off and that someone familiar with broncos had to of done it especially knowing to cut the fuel pump wire in the loom. It was like a light bulb went off in his head when I said that, He said a guy from down the street had stopped by when they were out working on it and was adamant about buying it from him because he had owned several over the years and made the comment "well if you ever get tired of it or it dont run then let me know"
He had a security camera on the truck but had a window of a couple weeks of when it could have happened. He ended up finding video of the guy at 2 in the afternoon while he was at work. The guy worked quick and was in and out in a few minutes. He came back into work and was telling me about it, didnt know what to do. They have community mailboxes, I told him to print the picture out and put it on the mailboxes warning the other neighbors to be on the lookout for this "suspicious man" He ended up doing that for a week and then called the local PD. the officer was super cool and asked him how long it took him to diagnose everything, buddy said about 10 hours. Cop tells him yeah sounds like you had to pay a mechanic 20hours to diagnose? whats that about $75hr? I will be back.
Cop goes over to the guys house and confronts him with the picture and the guy is shitting bricks, cop tells him that my buddy is willing to not press charges if he "re-imburses" him the $1500 he is out for troubleshooting. Guy was begging him to make payments, he ended up getting 3 payments of $500 every other week.
Print the picture out of the guy and tape it to your wheel with a little note saying you are gonna take a shot instead of a picture next time
That is what my plan is for the guy going through my trash cans.
I haven't decided if I'm going to stop when I finally find something good in them, or keep digging looking for more good stuff.
dont tell me how to live my life.
