Monday night I was visiting a friend in Custer SD and in the morning I woke to find all four tires slashed. We are pretty sure we know who did it and why, but we have no evidence. The Sheriff's department deputy says she has the same suspicions and will work the case accordingly.

I was awfully tempted to find the person (or possibly his 27 yr old wastrel son who already has an impressive record including 4 DUI's and multiple other charges in his history). I'd do something clever like toss a bullet at him and holler "Catch!" Then I would advise him the next one wouldn't have a warning and would perhaps be moving a bit faster.....BUT then I am the bad guy for making threats of bodily harm and it only serves to escalate the situation to personal violence. So, I reined my bad impulses in (because this is what adults do).

I have been scratching my head, thinking over options, and I think I have a chance of smoking the perp out, or at the very least making them so uncomfortable that they do not repeat the behavior. I am going to plaster the little town with reward posters offering a Henry Golden Boy .17 HMR with scope. There is a long and bitter story of how I came to own this rifle and if it goes away I can start to forget the bitterness it represents. And in a little western town like this, someone offering a nice rifle is going to create a lot of talk in the cafes and bars. The gun is worth about as much as the tires, towing, etc. If that talk gets back to the perp it's gonna make them nervous about getting ratted out, as it should. It will serve to make them understand that I am dead serious about seeing them arrested and charged. The more sleep they lose, the better I feel about it.

Russ:
Wow... this kinda makes me upset man! Im sorry to hear that tho and i reaaaallllllyyyyy hope they get what they deserve. hefty fine or a CRAP ton of regret. 

Hawkdancer:
Somebody else probably dislikes the individual(s) as well!  Perhaps the favor will get returned!  People like that don't have regrets, and think it is someone else's fault if they get caught and punished!

Toilet licking maggots like that are always proud of their misdeeds and wear them like a badge of honor, they always brag to others about what they did, someone will speak up for the reward. These types of people always have a "get you back" mentality, never to your face and always as a stab in your back when you aren't looking.

I threw a couple of lowlifes out of my hunting club for poaching, they came back and burned our check-in station to the ground and bragged around town that they shot 50 deer off our land at night after I threw them out and threw the carcasses in a dich on their way home to Mississippi.

I knew they did it, one of our mutual friends that I worked with said they told him they did but he wouldn't testify if I had them arrested. The game warden tried to catch them while they were on the killing spree but covering 4000 acres was a dauting task for one guy. He would hear the gunshots at night but they were gone when he got to where the shot came from.

I really don’t know what the answer is for dealing with people like this. I’m alway hoping they get theirs in the end. I know how violated you feel. Don’t let it eat you up. They aren’t worth it and that’s what they want you to do.

Reward is kinda interesting idea. Reminds me of that movie. Can’t remember the name. Mel Gibson play a wealthy man who’s son is kidnapped. Instead of paying the ransom he puts out a even larger reward. Interesting concept.

Hope things work out. Remember everyone isn’t that kinda scum.
