A lot of truth here. She used to try to help the very people she put in jail after they got out. She was selective about who she helped, because she knew them when she put them away. She has a sense for the ones that were salvageable. They even formally adopted one of them. He has taken on the mantle of helping criminals, but he doesn't have the discerning filter she had. He gets a call about every month, "I just got out of jail/prison and I don't have a place to stay." His answer too many times is "Sure, come on over." Crazy, just crazy.
He and MrsWD are good friends - coffee and cigarettes every morning and a "Coke and a smoke" every afternoon. She tries to counsel him but he won't listen.
There have been 2 problems in the past with D's "orphans" but this one takes the cake. MrsWD is freaked out. She wants security cameras and a 380 ASAP.
I'm looking at the Blink system and trying to talk her into a bigger gun. She tried the shotgun but it's too much for her. We are going to test out pistols for her in a couple of days.
Today, just like with the time I was robbed, he kept noticing things that were gone. His garage door openers were gone. The key to his barn was gone. The couple is clearly planning to come back. So I spent this afternoon breaking into his barn so I could change the lock. I told him to unplug the garage door opener and he pushed back with, "No, I can just slide this lock thingy over ..." I had had enough, I told him, "Daniel! Unplug the damn door opener AND slide the lock thingy and stop arguing with me. I don't want to come over here and find you dead!"
The guy just doesn't know what he doesn't know.
And tomorrow I need to go over and install his new toilet before he ruins it.
