For you night riders:

Trails were in good shape today at lunch. Just a little mud on
postal. Everything else was clear.

I'm out. Emotionally drained today. Some crazy person came by the shop
asking if Carson City had a lost an found. I thought he was walking but when
I looked out the window he drove away and burned out as he was doing it. I
got my car keys and followed him and he parked at the federal building. He
got out and went into the federal building and started acting crazy. I
snatched his car key out of his hand and the police came. But ad that to a
busy day at the shop. I'm worked!

Vigilante Justice!

[Kristy Moser]

So what happened next, after the police came?  Sounds nuts!

[Jeff Moser]

Sorry you had to go through that Marcus, and I take FULL
responsibility. Marvin, or as you call him, "crazy person", works for
me. You see, I lost some paper clips...the smaller ones, not the
inch and a half ones...and a Post-it that had my lucky number on it.
I sent Marvin out to find them for me. And since they could really be
ANYWHERE, I told him to check at the municipal Lost and Found first.
No sense in wasting all that time doing a street by street search for
these particular items. He came back with only 2 paper clips that
looked like they'd been run over by a bus, and a crinkled, numbered
slip of paper, but none of these items were the ones I lost. I think
you may be right though. Perhaps he is crazy.

I hope they arrested him. The reason I chased him is because he was clearly on drugs or something. And he burned out and left a big ol’ skid mark in front of my shop. My goal was to have him arrested for vandalism. Big ol skid marks in the front of an auto repair shop are bad for business.   After confronting him and actually looking in his vehicle it is clear he lives in it. It took about 20 mins for the police to figure out that I was ok and the other guy was crazy.  I had to go. I hope they put him in the klink until he got his head on. He was threatening me when I drove away.  As a former “ all the time” drunk person.. I felt sorry for him.   Life sucks if you’re loaded all the time.  There was no sense in me pressing charges. Clearly, the man had nothing, and he was not even of the capacity that I would allow him personally to get a steel brush and scrape away the big ol skid mark.  I will just tell my customers a Toyota was here and had unintended acceleration right in front of my shop!!

You could tell customers that you fixed a car up so awesome that the guy didn't know how much more power it had and couldn't control it!

[J Richardson]

You are damn lucky you didn't get shot or stabbed by this guy.  I hope you're packing heat or at least a tire iron when confronting crazies.
What a bad deal man.  Glad you didn't get shot or shanked by drugs bunny.

I sized him up.  He wasn’t on the kind of drugs that get you wired.  He was old.  I would have let him go but when I saw him driving I thought something needed to be done. He was in no shape to drive.

So, I just got off the phone with Marcus.  I had a run in with this guy in the parking garage at work tonight.

I left about 5:20 and was walking south toward my truck and caught him walking out of the corner of my eye about 20 feet away to my left.  He said "hey" to me and I stopped thinking he was going to ask me for change.  He said, "whats this building behind us."  I replied with "It's the Nevada Legislature building."  He said, "did you see all the news crews and reporters out on the grass last week."  I replied, "yes."  He said, "what were they here for."  I said "they were here for the Special Session."  He said, "special what?"  And I said "Special Legislative Session."  He said to me "what is that, something for Harry Reid?"  I said, "No, it's was the Legislators getting together to figure out the budget shortfall."  He then stared at me for a few seconds and said "What branch of the Military were you in."  I heard him clearly but asked him to repeat himself.  He said, "what branch of the military were you in."  I said, "The Marines."  He asked, "down at Pendleton?"  I said "yes, down at Pendleton for a time but other places."  He said "what other places?"  At this point I felt like he was getting a little too personal for someone he just approached in a parking garage.  I started to get that feeling when you feel like the space between you and someone else is getting closer and the situation is getting edgy.  I responded with "a lot of other places, other marine bases."  Then he asked me where I was born.  I said "I don't think that's any of your business."  He replied with "yes it is my business, I'm a cop and that makes it my business." very irately.   At that moment I ended contact with him and started walking toward the rear entrance to the LCB.  He said something like hey I was just kidding, I was in the Navy once" but I didn't reply. 

I went in and let the Legislative Police know he was out there.  They got out there about a minute later and couldn't locate the guy.  They asked me to come in and fill out a statement in the morning.  I left and on the way home started to think about Marcus' run-in earlier today.  As soon as I got home I called his shop and asked Marcus to describe him.  A perfect match, every detail.  So I called the LCB Police back and let them know that CSO already had contact with him earlier today and that it was the same description.  60-70, gray hair, goatee, bad teeth, cammo pants and a dingy fleece sweater.

The camera guy also told me on the phone that he was going keep his eyes open because they got him on two cameras talking to me but when I started walking away I guess I tripped the motion sensor cameras to follow me and he went off both cameras and they also couldn't find him leaving the garage through any of the exits as of then on camera either. They were worried the guy was hiding out under cars or in some of the spaces in the garage that the cameras aren't.

The guy was pretty coherent but real edgy and volatile.  He seemed to be limping or maybe just real drunk.  He didn't seem like he was slurring but I definitely wouldn't want him behind the wheel of a 2 ton vehicle the way he was acting.  I was also kind of blown away that someone in his condition would be ballsy enough to get all to be abrasive and pushy with a guy Marcus' size or mine for that matter, especially after already having LEO contact once today.

Probably Schizophrenic or on a cocktail of drugs, maybe drunk, maybe a little of all three.  Definitely creepy.

To make a positive i.d. you need to check for skid marks.

[J Richardson]

I'll leave that up to you, Potter.

Thanks for calling Jesse. I'm glad I posted my mini traumatic sitch. So now we all know in this area to keep an eye out for this loony bin.

Skid marks?  No inspection needed. I am sure he has em!
