Clay County authorities are searching and cataloging hundreds of items (that are believed to be stolen) that were found on a 2 acre stretch of property in Missouri City. This area is being called "The Home Depot of Stolen Property" by Sheriff Bob Boydston. Two adults and an 8 year old child live at the residence, the female was arrested on Tuesday, and the male suspect is still at large after fleeing when the police arrived. The child was taken into the custody of welfare workers. deputies had begun to enter the premises when they were informed that an three and a half foot python was inside. The deputies quickly vacated the interior of the house. Boydston states that the discovery of the stolen items, happened on Tuesday, after a call was made to report the firing of a gun at a dog. So far, the authorities have been busy sifting through vehicles, farm equipment, building materials, chain saws, and seven railroad containers. One of the railroad containers was filled with numerous boxes of unopened household appliances. Authorities have also found tools, clothes, refrigerators, and commercial ovens that are still in their protective wrapping.
Holly cow!! How in the heck did they manage to pull that off with no one being the wiser? When I first read this, I had to laugh. I know that it is not funny, but, it does have a comical side. How could these people of ever thought that they would not get caught and what were they going to do with it all? Save it for a rainy day?
I can't help but laugh when I read just how stupid people can be. They can get themselves into some of the most peculiar situations. It just amazes me sometimes. Well I am sure that all of the stolen vehicles will finally be returned. It may take some time to figure out where the rest of it goes and to which companies.
