Thank you for this good citizen and for the police cooperating!!!

[@specialks1953]

I guess it comes down to who you get ahold of in the police department. It rarely turns out this way for the good guys. Thank you to the person in charge of what these officers did!

[@X94Caz]

Well done. Glad police cooperated but it was an easy arrest for a change.

[@agentalucard]

So nice to see the good guys win for a change.

[@georgehuerta1990]

Great job bro and I’m glad the police listen to you and help you get your trailer back. One for the good guys.

[@AlexRocks24-7]

I'm shocked the police could be bothered 😕

[@triggertimetraining6963]

“They”?

[@therealmshine]

Hpd would of laughed him out the station if a citizen came in asking them to do a sting for their stolen property.

[@danielebrparish4271]

Police will help anyone who makes it easy to help them. The victim had the title and registration with the serial number and discrtiption on it to prove it was his. Normally they would have to find the trailer, record the serial number, listen to a story from the thief then contact the victim for the papers. Once the thief knows the police are looking he gets someone he knows to take the trailer to another state. Here no search warrants needed, no undercover sting needed and all of that takes days to put in place. Days that patrol officers use to police the streets and neighborhoods. This victim set it all up so all they had to do is arrest the thief and haul him away.

[@therealmshine]

@danielebrparish4271 Dude just stfu your either le or a delusional boot licker while you wrote all that drivel you could have easily used the same internet you have to find countless stories of not just people across the country in big cities but ppl here in Houston mine included that had all the info this dude had and more to make it "easy" as pie for you officer to make an arrest and they still don't go get the perp! Hence, why theft and property crime is so bad these days ppl have to paint their catalytic converters because in Houston crime pays since hpd doesn't take theft investigation seriously!.

[@TacticalTerry]

Same. I haven't had any luck with getting police help with a stolen item. In this case, a Houston UPS distribution center conveniently found a well-wrapped package as an "empty box", threw away every clue and every piece of evidence the same day, and then sandbagged every route of investigation for me until it was impossible to move forward. Police wouldn't lift a finger without getting the info that UPS withheld.

[@bt.c.1829]

I'm really shocked he got the cops to help! They're not usually proactive!💪👍🤝🤝

[@garymckee8857]

As an officer told me once, " I don't care if someone broke into your house and stole everything you have, and l watched them in the act l don't care l am here to write you a ticket and it's going to be a damn good one "

A friend of mine did that. Police said it was his word against theirs even though he had a piece of taillight that they broke off during the theft.

[@reservedTV.]

Kudos to the police in assisting with this incident🙌🙏

[@Starburns69]

How did they identify the trailer? Had the same license plate or was it the serial number?

[@newmexicoballer3867]

This is why I like channel 13 when I try to keep up with news going on in the Houston area. Because channel 13 is unbias when it comes to reporting news unlike some of the other news stations over there in Houston.

[@Rezin_8]

You do know their own by Disney LOL Did you know your life as a driver in Texas is value legally at $30,000 by billion dollar insurance companies😅 they won't do a new segment on that

[@therealmshine]

@Rezin_8 where you get 30,000 from? Don't tell me the big auto insurance lobby got even more new laws passed in their favor to limit paying out what's truly owed when someone files a claim!

This is awesome Bravo League City y'all need to come out here in the Harris County Sheriff's Office I waited 4 hours for the police😂😂😂 and your department does full on undercover stings😂😂😂😂 lucky turd I think I need to move to League City

[@rickdee67]

I have to wonder what this guy had going on because the police do not care! I caught the thieves with my nephews car and the police told me to get out of the way and let them go.

[@imilliemedina666]

Good that he got his trailer back. But the lazy DA will plead it down to a misdemeanor. If you want real justice, bring back Judge Roy Bean.

[@daveblevins3322]

It's good that the local popo listened.

[@orbscorbs]

Amazing that the police did anything and that he got back his trailer. He must be connected.

[@user-ln7of9gs4s]

Yes, he connected with his phone, by calling the police and making a connection. It was a good connection. 🎉

[@thejackbox]

I agree. I had my motorcycle totaled in a parking lot, there were witnesses, video evidence and even the license plate. They found the guy in his truck but the police didn’t do anything because he “had an alibi.

[@orbscorbs]

@@user-ln7of9gs4s Perhaps you should connect with your psychotherapist.

No dude your not different your saving grace was you being in League city (small town) and NOT HOUSTON! Hpd would of laughed him out the station if a citizen came in asking them to do a sting for their stolen property. They'd say take it up wth insurance and give you a stupid piece of paper wth case # for insurance purposes to verify you reported it and that been the end of that "case" investigation the moment you walked out. Seen people with vid cams and license plate numbers of ppl committing crime in this city and police do nothing about it unless your dead or caught in the act or well connected good luck trying to get hpd to be PROACTIVE about any property crime you report!
