He is out on work release, and starting to put his life back together. It was interesting to hear of how all the pieces fell apart in the end, and who spilled the beans on who. He told me how one guy we know, fell to his knees , and started crying when they arrested him at work. I thanked him for not getting me involved. He sorted of hinted at what he was up to at one point in our relationship, and I made it clear that I was not interested. I remember asking him if he thought he would ever get caught. He honestly thought he never would, and the police used to sniff around his place when I was there 20 years ago. Every car he did , there was a paper trail leading right back to him. He ended up confessing to 26 counts of grand theft auto. All cool cars to, corvettes, GTO's Big Block dually's , SLP camaro, and Lots of trucks. I remember watching the news when he got arrested and they had all the cars lined up at the police impound yard , it was nuts, I had no idea he did so many. Quite a few people that I knew from the auto biz were involved in some form or another. I pat myself on the back daily for using good judgment as a young man.
Wanna know what finally tipped the apple cart over? An argument over a woman, led an old friend of his to drop a tip at the local pd. Who would have ever thought.
His antics were the main reason I moved out of his bldg, I was sure he would have been caught within a year of me leaving, but it went on for 13 more years before they finally had enough to arrest him.
