AIMLESSLY UNBALANCED

Franklin , Tennessee - my readers have asked if there's more information about the B & E 's that Franklin Police did not want to investigate. I always try to give them what they want. So , here's the rest of what I know , and no , I did not tell everything for a reason , which I will let the reader determine for themselves.
Soooo , with that said , Here's the BEEF !

If you have garage doors with a handle shown in the picture. Look to see if it has been turned. If so , then someone tried to get in.

If you look at the second picture , you will see that the lock bar is out of the gate plate. To do this , someone pulled very hard to snap the aluminum pin on the shaft that connects to the outside T-handle. This pin is a safety measure in case of fire and the door won't go up for whatever the reason.

The third picture shows what the mechanism should look like without tampering.

To keep the bad guys out , you need to pin the arms in a secure way and don't leave any slop in the arm's travel.

If Franklin Police wanted to know about this , they would have asked. They did not.
If Franklin Police wanted to see this , they would have said so. They did not.

Here's more BEEF !
The badguys drive a purple Plymouth van with black windows ( not tinted ) liscence plate MML 604
They also use a black SUV with black windows ( not tinted ) liscence plate 0561 DL
When Pranklin Police Sargent Smithson had this info in hand , he leaft the scene.
It's interesting that the badguys have returned in a white SUV with black windows ( not tinted ) which appears new. No plate at this time.
Here's the biggy question. Does Sgt. Smithson know these badguys ? Do the math. What do you find ?
