cant be many silver audis in cr or surronding areas …come on cr detectives ..The best thing this guy can do is go return it and turn himself in and say im sorry …he will get probation
An electrifying story, with shocking implications.
He would have got off scot-free if he only wore the Cedar Rapids Invisibility Cloak — a black hoodie.
how exactly does one walk out with a $700 generator?? Its not like you can put it under your coat.
You would be amazed at what people do, and get away with. There is a reason Walmart has someone posted at their door checkin receipts.
That's my neighbor.
if thats a joke, it aint funny, and if it IS your neighbor you better be contactin the authorities.
Cant people with Audis afford a $700 generator?
You would think so, wouldn't you! But who knows maybe he "borrowed" someones car lol
he sure moves fast for a fat guy
How did he hide a $700 generator?
If he IS your neighbor, don't borrow his generator.
