Last night was eventful - it's a long story.
Our neighbor (Ken... the one who noticed the strange truck and who has been very helpful) came over. He had taken another neighbor's dog back to him (John Wilkins) and got BSing with him. He mentioned that we had our 4 wheeler stolen. John said that another neighbor (Mark) said that his kids found a red 4 wheeler in the woods behind their house the other day.
So, Mike and Ken went and talked to Mark and walked up where the kids saw the 4 wheeler. It wasn't there. Then Mark mentioned that he had heard that another neighbor (Perry AKA Rocky) sold a red 4 wheeler to a guy on a county road not too far away. So, Mike and Ken went to that guy's house to talk to him.
At that point, I called the sheriff's office and asked that they send someone out. Mike and Ken came back without finding the 4 wheeler, but did feel like the guy who supposedly bought it seemed suspicious. The sheriff's deputy got to the house and took everyone's statements and told us that Perry is known to be a theif and that he steals stuff and sells it to get money for his heroin habit (lovely, huh). So, the deputy left and went to Perry's house. We saw him go back past our house, but he didn't stop and tell us anything.
Around 10:20 Mark called our house and said that the person who had our 4 wheeler would be calling us and that we would be getting our 4 wheeler back. It just didn't sit right with me so I called the sheriff's office again. The dispatcher took the info. Sometime after 11, the deputy who had been at our house called us. We told him what Mark had said and he asked for Mark's number, which we gave to him.
This morning Mike called Mark to see what happened. The deputy came to Mark's house around 2am. Apparently they found our for sure that the guy on the county road had bought it from Perry for $800. They went to that guy's house and got the 4 wheeler back, but took it to the station as evidence.
The sheriff's office called today and said that the 4 wheeler was released and we could make arrangements to pick it up. Then the company that towed it to the sheriff's office called and now WE have to pay the tow bill before we can get it back. Of course the detective in charge wasn't in by the time we got home, so we have to wait till tomorrow to get it.
No word on the chainsaw, though. I talked to the deputy this evening and he said they're still working on finding it.
Short version: We are getting the 4 wheeler back. One nice neighbor helped us track it down. The heroin addict neighbor and his buddies stole it and sold it for $800. The sheriff's dept finally came out and tracked it down and took it to their station as evidence. No sign of the chainsaw yet.
