BY the way, here's a very real story. when I was about fifteen, I was hired to help build some corrals on a property my uncle owned. We finished building the corrals and were heading down next day to clean up. we were surprised to see cattle tracks at the gate when we pulled up and thought our cattle had got out. we had not even got gate open when two sheriff deputies and a cattle detective blocked us in., we both were handcuffed and told someone had stolen several head of cattle drove them down the road and used our new pens to load them. just so happened that the neighbor next to us drove down the road, stopped and vouched for us being who we said and that was our land and he had seen another truck there the evening before. moral of the story don't be put in a position where you could even be mistaken for being in the wrong. by the way that was grady county also if it makes a difference</p></blockquote><p></p>
