This is a new one for us...
« on: January 01, 2007, 05:08:04 PM »
I had to put this here and in my LiveJournal after DH got off the phone with Kit...



DH just got off the phone with Kit, who drove the genny home from FedEx field in Maryland. Apparently, between the time DH locked up for the night before leaving the site and the time Kit hooked up to the truck, someone got INTO the generator. Kit, seeing the lock hanging there, sealed it and drove off - at 6 pm last night.

This morning, there were holes punched through the roof of the generator - and things inside were bent and battered. Kit called the police, worried he was going to find a body in there (on a side note, this happens to be in the town I went to high school in in NJ).

They came and opened it up, finding nothing more than the fact that someone apparently had been in there and had finally managed to punch their way through the steel container. They think that it had to be an illegal, since a stage hand, if he'd gone in there to hide from work, as they think is what happened here, would have yelled when the truck finally stopped, and gotten help.

Seems the Kenilworth PD had another call this morning, too - 6 am, a man showed up at the diner. He spoke no English, and could only write his name and address in Maryland. Apparently, he had no idea where he was. Gee... coincidence? The police don't seem to think so.

So now Kit and DH have been told: no more transporting human cargo!

I only watched the first couple episodes of that before Monk annoyed me ;) 

I can't wait to see the police report on this, if DH can get a copy of it.  The thing that is REALLY funny is that the stop in NJ almost didn't happen - this generator was bound for a gig in Detroit!

Can you imagine being locked in a steel container?  It had to be dark in there.

It had to be VERY uncomfortable, too!

Is there any copper in your generator? Four people were just arrested in our area for stealing copper, and they were punching through generators and HVAC units trying to get to the stuff. Apparently it's a hot item right now because it's so expensive, and it gets plenty of fence money to fuel a meth head's habit (the mug shots of the copper snatchers looked as if they were all strung out on meth).
