My stupid self left the garage door open and when I got back it was gone. I called the police and they started writing up a report. I told them who I thought had done it.(Some people up the street I had problems with). While the police were at the other house checking things out a good friend of mine who is a boat mechanic called. I told him what had happened and he started cracking up laughing. I was so mad I couldn't see straight. He tells me next I should close my garage and he wouldn't be able to just take the motor to work on it. I felt dumb as hell ( I forgot I had called him to come help me with it). I had to call the police back and tell them just how dumb I was. It all turned out fine, but I learned a lesson. Now Crappieday fishes with that motor.
