So! It figures it would take having the garage roof set on fire to actually get someone's ass moving on all the vandalism that's been happening. Actually, it took the fire chief having to come down here at 3:30am to douse a fire a few days after the window was busted, and being told that nothing had been done so far, and looking at some recent footage of this man stabbing out my grandparents' tires before they went back to Florida.
I'd not seen this footage in particular, but when the chief and his deputy watched they noticed something. The man had put his bare hands on the van twice- and the cops had not dusted for prints. He thought that was bullshit and went to have Words with the police on our behalf. I like this man.
So now, the police detective who has supposedly been on our case has gotten around to looking at all the evidence from the past year. This includes footage of a getaway van that my aunt later found sitting in the parking lot of Bud's bar, and took a photo of for further evidence.
They're 90% sure of who it is, after comparing a mugshot. They'll be dragging his sorry ass in for questioning. Even if he has alibis for all this shit, that things have progressed this far makes me happy. If they nail him, I believe I heard that it was at least 20 years for the arson alone. \o/
