[NSRCA-discussion] Stolen RC Plane

[White, Chris]

What a shame....I heard the same kind of story floating around pattern
circles years ago....seems in this story a guy was actually shooting
down pattern airplanes during a contest and the locals found him and
made appropriate adjustments.  (OK, so I enjoyed some of the Death Wish
movies..... there goes my liberal status:-)LOL)

I have also noticed a lack of law enforcement willingness to assist
victims of what some perceive as a minor crime. Reminds me of when I
started to learn to fly R/C in Long Beach, CA  area.  I flew at the
local B.I.R.D.S. club.

    Many experienced modelers were starting to crash regularly. It
appeared most of the crashes were occurring when flying in a given area.
Wasn't long before a common thread was observed. A white convertible was
detected being parked on a side road while having a view of the models
flying in that area. Local law enforcement was called and said they had
no proof the youngster was doing it. The modified ham radio gear, rf
generator and long loaded whip antenna were very suspicious but all
circumstantial. The officers did advise the next time it happened they
would not rush right out to the call in case this individual should fall
down getting out of his car. 

    Needless to say this dirtbag was caught red handed by some people
The radio gear was rendered useless as well as he received an attitude
adjustment. 

    Later that evening a couple of officers visited the field and
casually mentioned they didn't know if it mattered to any of you guys,
but they had a call and found this guy on a side road who said he had an
accident and all his radio gear was a mess.. He had no idea how it
happened.  A wink was given by one officer I was told before they left.


    Not that I am condoning this form of justice but sometimes it seems
to be the only thing that truly rehabilitates.

    I do believe in letting the criminals break all the way into my home
so I can give them a permanent adjustment.

	You're lucky that your local law enforcement even pursued the
matter.  Here in Memphis, if you weren't shot by the criminal their
position is "why are you bothering us with this, you have insurance".

	Hi Dan,

	 

	I wish that I could do that.  That bastard has caused so much
problem to me and my family.  It is just incredible the time that I
expended dealing wiht the problem caused by this bastard.  I know that
the insurance will try to recover all cost from him.  I am not sure how.
My agent told me that.  We will see. 

	 

	Thanks,

		Great news, Vinny.  Now just borrow the dude from lock
up and bring him by for a tour and a meet and greet at all the flying
clubs between KC and Sherman.  We all would like to meet this guy and
maybe adjust his attitude.
