    There seams to be an epidemic of substance abuse in our area........
    This looks like another case of it......
    I run ny to fl and see crazy stuff like this a lot around all the bigger city's but this is becoming way to close to home for me.
     
    Mikesee Thanks this.

    That is a call the police and wait situation. Could be harmless or dangerous. Best to let them do the checking.

    Thanks, I did have a 16 inch wrench in hand in case he climbed up onto the excavator and fired it up. The thing wouldn't have moved since it was chained down but still that action would require intervention.

    Because life is cheap and you have nothing to lose, right? I take that back. I know, not asking.
    Peace, brother. It might be your family member some day.

    That's right Linda.

    Mikesee displayed not only professionalism, But was able to "read" the situation correctly..And not have the "I'll Bash his skull in persona" Like some of these Cowboys do.

    Bravo Mikesee
     
    Orangees, Lepton1, G13Tomcat and 4 others Thank this.

    You of course did the 100% correct and professional thing. The only thing you should do now is to send a copy of your video to OOIDA. Hopefully they will put your story out there and maybe you will be given an Award. Thank you for behaving in a manner that brings honor to all of us.

    A couple years ago I saw a guy in a wheelchair truckin down the shoulder of 94 about a mile east of the wibaux Mt poe .
    I cleared the scale and went in and told the officers what I saw ..
    They just laughed and said " he's just going to glendive to buy a car " don't worry.
