Did he ask them to send a helicopter out for him? I mean, if anything, they should charge your uncle for the cost of the helicopter. If he hadn't been such a dick when he sent away those people they may have found him much earlier than good Samaritan Nicky did.
How does that work? I was under the impression, that you either have to ask someone to leave, and they don't...or have posted "no trespassing" signs that are ignored before you can charge someone.
We do have no trespassing signs, and fences, which he would have had to climb over to find his spot for his 36 hour nap.
That was my point, too. The dude (Nick's uncle) was certainly within his rights to tell everyone to get the fuck off of his property, but it wasn't the right thing to do. That said, the people looking for the lost kid ought to have come up to him first and asked him if it was ok to look for their lost friend.
If he woke up with his pants around his ankles and a dirty condom hanging out of his ass and if he had found his buddies bullet ridden bodies, he wouldn't trespass again. Sometimes you gotta take one for the team, Nick. You Michiganders are pro-union. You shouldn't have any problem with sticking it in anyone's ass. Pretend the guy was a GM VP.
Such things are best left to the police, my uncle recognized this. If that makes him an asshole in the court of public opinion, then public opinion be damned. And quite frankly, we really have no idea if people are telling the truth as to why they're on our property, they could have been trying to find a spot to bury a body. Not to mention, all of this could have been avoided had their friend NOT TRESPASSED IN THE FIRST PLACE.
I can understand your uncle. As a landowner, as well as being responsible for a lot of property, my first instinct with any unknowns on the land is to question them as your uncle did. I can assure you, you never know who will be trespassing, and for whatever reason. "Looking for our friend" sounds like a typical meth head story, or a drunk looking for the car he left out in the woods the night before. This shit happens, a lot, and there is no reason not to be suspicious of anyone. I have zero problem with pushing them off onto the police, and would gladly help if they came with evidence of real distress.
Jesus, 36 hours, he could have just picked a direction and started walking and got out of there. What a huge vagina that guy must be.
Reminds me off an incident at Fort Rucker, Alabama. A helicopter pilot crashed out in the woods, near a farm shortly before midnight. While they were looking for the crash scene, the search + rescue team knocked on the farm house door (near where they figured the helicopter was) to ask the owners if they had heard or seen the crash. They knocked and knocked, but no answer. They found the heli and pilot about an hour later, and took him to the hospital. Turns out later the home owners had indeed heard a loud noise. But when the search party knocked it was after 10:00 PM. The couple are old fashioned, and don't think it's "proper" to visit that late at night! THANKS A LOT! Imagine if the pilot had crawled with broken legs to the house, but couldn't be helped because it is rude to crash that late at night. Damn, I wish the next helicopter burns right into their house....fucktards.
Was the 40 year old car the kid's? Or was this car on the property all the time and you just noticed it?
I honestly think when he ran off that he was on drugs. The guy seemed disoriented when I found him and unless he was unconscious there's no way he couldn't have heard the helicopter going over head. Plus he was only about 30 or 40 feet from the small access road that goes by our house that the police and firefighters were using.
I think with his girlfriend, the car I found was just a totally random old car that had been sitting on the property for a long time. The only reason I included it in the story is because if I hadn't stopped to look at it I wouldn't have found the guy.
I woulda done the exact same thing. First, you're fucking stupid if you take a couple of punk kid tresspassers at their word under circumstances like that. Although it turned out to be truthful this time, the other nine times out of ten it's gonna be a bullshit story made up to cover for whatever shenanigans they were actually up to. Second, even giving them the benefit of the doubt and assuming a that point that their are telling the truth, it's still unwise to leave them roaming the property unsupervised. Who knows what kind of liability you'd have towards their safety and that of the alleged missing person? No, the wisest, most responsible thing to do is make the kids wait for the cops and leave the searching to the professionals.
I almost certainly would have helped them hunt for him. I'm just that way. And if I didn't believe their story the first time (if I thought it was just an excuse to be wandering around on my property, for example), then I certainly would have gotten involved once the circus showed up. And if I found someone on the property the next morning, my first thought would have been, "This has got to be him!" I guess some of us just don't think the same way at all... Not all of us... (Well, I'm in favor of the Union as in "State of the Union," but I guess that's not the same thing...)
Yep, not to mention my uncle is a doctor and a father, so he has two young kids to think about and no time to help with search parties.
Clearly, they were looking for their lost friend. Its wasn't a gag. Is your step-dad really a fucko like that?
