Elusive thief

If I read this right, authorities on the northside have spent the day chasing a man who broke into a Sherwood home about 4:30 a.m. today. In the process, he's stolen three vehicles and gotten in a wreck. Last word put the search in the Lakewood area.

Man this guy sounds like McGiver. He can steal multiple cars while being chased by the police.

Are there ample cars with keys in them all night in Sherwood or is this guy a wiz at hotwiring cars while barefoot?

Sounds like a Keystone Cops segment!

Laugh all you want, guys. I had 2 policemen with shotguns walking around behind my house a couple of hours ago. I ain't laughing.

I just saw the police spokesman on THV and he says they have checked every house. They may have done a visual check, but they haven't knocked on any doors that I've seen, and they say they are calling off the search? WTF!?!

No sleep for me tonight folks. Still not laughing.

Scramble the NLRPD Air Corps!! The kind of mission our model helicopter R/C pilots can only dream about. Get the rotors turnin' tree top crime fightin' at its best low level down the 5 mile creek to flush him out into the arms of NLR's finest. Right now he's probably lurking along the bushes or cooling off in the creek waiting for nightfall to terrorize some unaware homeowners in Lakewood Northeast. Utilize all of the capabilities of that $82,000 investment plus thousands more in training & travel expenses before a half-dozen taxpayers are found slain in their beds Thursday morning. That infra-red imaging camera should be able to spot him wherever he's holed up. Citizens of Lakewood---arm yourselves and patrol the neighborhood tonight!

I wonder if the old woman, whose house was broken into and she bound and stuffed into a closet, thinks MysteryShopper is funny?
Or the 18 year old pregnant girl, who was apparantly kidnapped at gunpoint and stuffed into a car, thinks the blog is hilarious?
At least that's what the news is reporting tonight.
Ya'll are hilarious and starting to give liberals a bad name.

Hmmm. My interpretation, Crash, is that some folks think it sounds like Sherwood's and NLR's finest can't find their rear ends with both hands. Can't say I disagree.

No, what it sounds like is some uninformed jackasses who want to make wisecracks.
I really don't care, but I came to the blog to see what people were saying who lived in the area and it just bothered me to see people making jokes after I watched the news tonight and heard that an elderly, disabled woman was tied up and stuffed in a closet under gunpoint.
And then I bet the dude smoked, yeah, smoked 'em while he had 'em. I bet that would have really pissed Max off. /cross thread.
I'm out, Top Chef Masters awaits on the Tivo.

Yeah, I don't often agree with anyone who throws "liberal" around like an epithet, but Crash has a bit of a point.

Maybe you guys could focus on what you know and what you've heard at this point, (you know, the advantages of community blogging) instead of the running commentary on how stupid law enforcement is. Question law enforcement's motives, question their procedures, question their expenditures, but do it after this guy is in the back of a police car. Otherwise, you are just being an unnecessary ass to those of us close to the action.


Gumm, no one is making light of your situation. Years ago when convicts walked away from a nearby prison with amazing regularity, I was know to go to the barn with a loaded shotgun under my arm for days at a time.
What I, at least, am commenting on the apparent ease with which this malefactor seems to have eluded at least two police forces. So if they don't catch the guy until some cop in a faraway state stumbles over him, the local Keystones get a pass? I think not.
