So, someone tried to steal my Harley...

My wife left the garage door open last night while I was at work. About 3am, the neighbors across the street observed an unidentified male in my garage leaning over my Harley-Davidson in the darkness. A phone call to 911 was made, and the officers arrived at my residence shortly thereafter.

The suspect was caught totally off-guard while in the act...



Yes, I am completely serious. My 14c composite harness on its stand was suspected of being a would-be thief. I keep the stand in the garage because my wife is creeped out by it. Apparently, the neighbors are a bit skiddish about it as well...

I did not press charges against the suspect. He was let off with a verbal warning.

but, you want to joke. However it is very funny. Think if it had a sword near ...
on terrorism charges? :cool: :lol:

I feel a tad sorry for the cops involved.

How were you sure it wasn't someone, though?

"Oh, crap, Floyd, it's a TERMINATOR! Let 'im have it!" Blam! Blam! Blam!

Coulda been worse, I guess!

why do some wives find them scary? i have a friend who's wife makes him keep his mail harness with helm in his cramped office space cause its scary hehehhe. i thought knights were the good guys ;)

Most women that I know think an empty suit display is scary for some reason. She think it looks like a Cylon from the old Battlestar Galactica series - especially when I put the red moving LED behind the occulus. :lol:

lol
my girlfriend has no problems what so ever with my armour, heck it even stand next to my bed together with all my weapons=p
with my other mess however=p

it's fun how an armour stand can be funny, on some shows i once put on my armour and just stood still the whole time waiting till someone came to inspect it more closely, then jump toward them shouting, funny as hell=p

My suit was on a stand next to our kitchen. It freaked my mom out all the time (my mom lives with me and the wife)
So I eventually moved it into me and my wife's room. less than 3 feet away from our bed. My wife doesnt even get bothered with the smell when I oil it. And my near 8month old daughter looks at it with the face... "Ahhhh metal I want to touch"

Funny story. :) It reminded me of an incident that happened to a friend of mine during our college days.

This friend came home from school and thought she heard someone in the house (she was alone at the time). She called the police who did a search of the house to make sure there were no intruders. The officer came back downstairs after searching the bedrooms upstairs and looked a little chagrined. At this point, I should mention that this friend had a thing for Captain Picard of Star Trek and had a lifesize cardboard cutout of him in her room. (Anyone see where this is going?) The officer, when he went to that room (the last one in his search pattern) and threw open the door, saw a man's silhouette in the room. Luckily, he flipped on the light after calling out to the "man" and realized it was not, in fact, a man. Ol' Captain Picard almost got pumped full of lead that night, though..... :)

Captain Picard cutout? That reminds me of the old Steve Martin movie were they were having a party with a variety of 70s movie star cutouts instead of real people. That is just too funny.

I work in law enforcement myself and have been on some interesting calls, but I have yet to get my own personal call on a cutout or suit of armor - though I have been on a call where a skunk was trapped in someone's garage :eek: . Perhaps soon I can reflect on my own experience. :lol:
