Dear Editor:
Shaking the trees is producing results. Thanks for the leads, they are paying off.
I need more in order to build a rock solid case.
The word on the street is that my tools are long gone. That simply means he no longer has them.
That means that someone else does have them. Please take a look at the www.oakgrovecrimewatch.org web site. Maybe you bought the tool at a good deal, maybe you are in someone else’s shop and you see one of those tools. That tool is still in use, someone is looking at it right now. The air compressor is a little hard to hide. The reward for its return is much more than it costs new. One of its unique features is the air intake was built from components from the hardware store. It has a lawn mower muffler running in reverse. If you hand it over to the sheriff, there is a reward for it. If someone beats you to it they get the reward,  and you get the judge.
Some of the thieves are beginning to snitch on each other. A good picture is beginning to form. The only way to stop me is to give me enough to send the thieves to jail. Then I stand down.
Further, theft or property damage only deepens my resolve to get you.
I no longer want the property as much as I want you.  Your days of freedom are coming to a close.
