The Sign

So.... A few weeks ago my daughter's boyfriend was arrested for second degree theft for stealing a metal sign worth $1500 from a car wash. Kirk was arrested next to the car wash immediately after someone reported seeing a man with tattoos and long hair steal the sign, but it was a large sign and no where to be seen so it was decided that Kirk had a partner who had taken off with the sign, which lent conspiracy to the charge making it a felony. Further incriminating him was a wrench he had in his possession that fit the bolts to the sign. A week after getting bonded out of jail, Kirk spotted the sign in someone's backyard laying face up for the world to see. A friend of his called 911 and alerted the police to the whereabouts of the sign and the house was raided by police who found the sign. No one in the home had long hair and tattoos. It will be interesting to see what will happen when this goes to court. Council Bluffs is a small town but it is still amazing that the sign was found.
