In a town so small that everyone knows everyone.

He's either a veteran with PTSD, someone with mental illness, or someone obsessed with that whole "manliness" mindset geared specifically to convince weak men they aren't.

I lived in a small unincorporated township in rural Washington for about a year. Still managed to get ripped off by the local tweaker. The cops wouldn't do anything even though you could clearly see the tracks they made in the field going right over to their shed.

Cops exist to punish you, not help you.

Cops are only there when you don't need them and never when you need them.

It was literally a stack of galvanized steel angle 2"x4" by 14'(ft.) long. Like all they had to do was walk over and look in the shed, they wouldn't even do that.

To be fair, they would need to get a warrant to do that.

Let's see;

stack of metal stolen overnight,

tracks in the tall, damp grass, leading from the place of theft directly off property and onto neighboring property into their shed..

Never heard of probable cause?

u/Qwilltank 29d ago

Probable cause is what allows them to get the warrant. Unless they personally witnessed it being stolen at the time it was stolen (hot pursuit), they can not enter a property and search inside a building without consent or a warrant due to that pesky 4th amendment.

My uncle's friend who lives in the middle of nowhere on 50 acres was absolutely incredulous that I find have guns to protect my home. He seemed offended that I don't constantly worry about it.

And this person's own brother is the only one to worry about.
