To catch a thief - how do I do this?
Several days ago someone stole a pushmower I truly love. Only thing I've ever bought new. It's a very distinctive mower I slaved away to buy.
I hid the mower out of sight in back yard and was only gone 2 hours to attend to an emergency. Came back to cut grass and it was gone.
Made police report w/serial # and detailed description of this unique mower. Called every pawn shop within 20 mile radius an the surrounding small town police departments.The suspected individual comes by my house religiously 5-10 times per day - but whenI asked about the mower, he has not come around my home once. I did not accuse him of taking it. However, he is known to do such things as he is a "landscaper" not one neighbor likes.Passed by him in places we both frequent; he avoids me and is extraordinarily nervous when he sees me. Apparently, he is well known and several neighbors and 1 merchant asked specifically if he had "cruised" by my house alot. I never mentioned his name. And he did "cruise" many times prior to the mower being stolen. Most all his "jobs" are out of town
Done what I can - out of options?
Mower has been seen by at least 2 individuals and came to me ASAP. As said - it's a very distinctive mower. One you never forget once you see it.Spotted same time from different POV at same location as it was being pushed into a make shift shop. Both individuals went w/me to do a follow up report. Suspected person (lives across street) didn't know I overheard and witnessed a late nite conversation between him another person. That person told me about it next morning.
