Tree Thieves

[grassy]

ok here it is...... i am 46, i have a dying father who is 80, on 12 meds, oxygen 24/7 and Drunk to boot. drinking a half a liter of rot-gut wine... ok i live at the house with him to take care of things such as snow, cooking etc etc... he is really feeble. well well, in comes a old friend... after 30 years this old friend starts showing up?His name is Bill, i knicknamed him HILLBILLY! or he is also known now as Bill the Con. ever so slowly HillBilly starts to take things... chainsaws disappear, expensive Metal lathes, out of the celler, wood lathes, tools, new cooking grill, new snowblower.... They also borrow the CAR!!!!! the list of stuff goes on.... this goes on little by little behind my back. almost until everything is gone, then the big HEIST, the STANDING TREES?????? In return for plowing the driveway(snow) HillBilly gets this deal going with my father, he needs alittle winter wood, for his stove. This is sept4th, last year. All of a sudden, the trees are coming down, Hillbilly HIRES another guy to cut the trees down. ON DADS LAND! and My home too! i think hillbilly plans on paying the other guy with OUR WOOD! for his labor. guess how much TREES COME DOWN??????? 3o CORDS... that is alot of trees!!!!!. if a person stacked the wood, neatly, to give you an idea how much wood that is? picture this... its a pile 4 feet high, by 4 feet wide and the length of a football field almost!!!!! it is selling for about 250.00 a cord, so we are talkign 5000-6000 dollars of wood. then the BEST part is... After he cut down 30 cords of trees, he(hillBilly comes into the house an ANNOUNCES he is taking the nice dry wood out of our celler ALSO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! which is ANOTHER 4 cords!!!!! that is the gist of it. and that is what put me over the edge. The problem is this? the old man? he is nastey, drunk, and wants hillbilly to have this wood. ( he must have dementia too) anyway i have to STOP HILLBILLY! how??????????? without getting the old man to excited? Hillbilly will not listen to me. the guy has alot of( you know what) as long as there is something to get. hill billy wont leave. but the story gets better... a GUN gets involved. do you want to hear about the gun part? cindy
