This morning we got one of those phone calls you hate to get. The Jemez Pueblo Police called and asked if we owned a green Yamaha ATV. Answer: yes. Next they asked if we had given permission to anyone to use the ATV. Answer: No. Turns out thieves were there probably last night or early this AM. They broke the padlock off the shed where they found a 6 foot steel digging / prying bar they used to pry open the barn doors where the ATV was stored. The same bar was used to do one of the best/worst demolitions of the cabin door.
Good news is the police apprehended one person in possession of the stolen ATV and a 12 gauge shotgun we kept in the cabin. The cop saw the ATV being driven on a public road, a no-no here, and did a traffic stop. We pick the ATV up from the police impound tomorrow. The thieves packed the three totes on it with assorted camping gear, some tools and a bunch of our favorite oatmeal from the cabin. We met with county detectives up there and I already have the shotgun back.
Missing still are some biggish items; Honda EU2000i, ATV utility trailer, Husky chain saw, 40” TV and some ammo, about 400 .22LR, 100 .45LC and 50 assorted 12 gauge shells. And a bunch of smaller stuff like 2 way radios, IR thermometer, gasoline…. With any more luck we had with the timely apprehension of one of the thieves we may recover some other goods. And then maybe not.
Our neighbors were also hit. We know this happened after Wed night because James was there then.
