2 weeks ago my truck and all my gear was stolen from an Austin Hotel.. Yesterday I got it back
But I had to go back up to austin to make a second report about the stolen property as the other report was being fast tracked for reasons I'll go into in a second.
The officer that arrived at the impound yard to take the report was an older gent, clearly been doing this awhile. He asked for ID after getting to understand what and why he was called, I handed it to him and then my LTC "Sir you asked for ID , so you get to see this one as well" One glance was all it got, and I got an "OK, thanks"
That was it, the gun was a total non issue to him, completely.
I was carrying a 4" XD .45 IWB in a supertuck with a lightweight poly/cotton nit work shirt on...so the pistol grip did print slightly.... It is likley he noticed that on the way into the building.
This offcier was the one that was involved in recovering the vehicle on Wed and did he have a story to tell.....
For 11 days my truck was used to store, transport and deal major weight meth, weed and assorted other drugs
Thief was arrested by APD organized crime on domestic terrorism charges as well as Felon in possession of a weapon (he had an SKS with him) drug charges and something about threats to shoot up a court house
Truck Damage is pretty minor
Right front light broke.
Busted door and ignition lock
Tailgate dented up.
Only piece of property recovered was one dog leash a bag of sunflower seeds and a BN125 front fender.
Responding officer had jokes.... Said I could claim the other items found in the truck if I wanted .....the drugs and SKS
or as I was led to believe, caught with does not equal doing with the truck.
