I now have my four spares put on, seeing it up on blocks while we took the wheels off about made me physically ill. And the fun of driving it and being seen in it has really diminished. Though I can't see the scars from inside the car till the tail comes up. So that helps. My usual parking attitude has changed as well. I no longer care about scratches or dings. But I still park it away from people as I don't want it to be seen this way. I took it to have an estimate. It was $4800.00 plus the tires. Ok, some good news, maybe. My neighbors girlfriend was on her way to his house around 11:00 to midnight. She said three boys on bicycles ran out in front of her going away from the crime scene general area. She said she almost hit them. Too bad she missed. Well anyway, in the morning they found the mess they had left and called the police. The policeman she talked to told her he had stopped the three boys that evening and talked to them. They are known vandals and thieves. At face value that seems good. But in many instances these kind of people in our area seem to skate on by without punishment. he latest news article on the event. I will add more as things surface. I talked to my neighbor across the street, he is the city attorney. He said he can find out more for me as well. My insurer told me if they get convicted and they win a settlement that I will get my $1000.00 in deductibles back, provided they get paid. Otherwise, I'm at the back of the line till they get paid. You can bet I'll never see that money. As for the Harley. I have the rear tire replaced and the seat as well. I'm waiting for the front tire to arrive. I'm just gonna have to ride it battle scarred for awhile. This whole mess truly sucks...
PPD releases more details on burglaries
The Parsons Police Department released more details on the string of burglaries that occurred late Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning in the Fourth Ward of Parsons.
Deputy Police Chief Scott Gofourth said reports have been filed with the Labette County Attorney’s Office for review. Three Parsons individuals, a 19-year-old, a 21-year-old and a 16-year-old, have been identified as suspects in the case. Charges have not yet been filed in the cases.
“We need the public’s help in solving crimes like this,” Gofourth said. “We encourage neighbors to call the police department when you see something suspicious in your neighborhood.”
In addition to the burglaries on Tuesday and Wednesday, a 39-year-old Parsons man has been named as a suspect in a separate residential burglary earlier in the week. According to a spokesperson for the police department, that case also has been sent to the Labette County Attorney’s Office for review.
Gofourth said in a statement from the city that there are several simple ways to help prevent break-ins, such as locking vehicles; not leaving things of value in plain sight in vehicles; locking homes, garages and storage sheds; and not being afraid to report suspicious activity.
The Parsons Police Department has several contact options. Residents can call the tip hotline at 421-7057, call the department’s office at 421-7060 or send an e-mail to
