I guess if your dumb enough to leave the keys in the ignition,this stuff happens.In a town like Lubec youd think people would know better than to leave the keys in,live and learn.

Should've just pushed him back in the truck. It'd clean up the community and save us some tax dollars. "No good deed goes unpunished". Drag somebody from a burning pickup they hit you with a shovel. Plow out an old lady's driveway you get shot at. Try to cut some slack to a tenant during a tough time and they decide not to pay rent for 3 months. Save somebody's life and they sue you. Sometimes it doesn't pay to be nice.

Another of Washington County's finest citizens on parade.

I'm sorry but leaving your keys in your car isn't an invite for any a$$ to take it.So dumb has noting to do with it, dumb would be getting caught stealing my car.

Leaving keys in an unattended vehicle..............then wondering what happened...........then calling the police. The question begs: Is the owner of vehicle partially to blame when that happens?

No question begs asking. A vehicle is parked on the owner's property, it shouldn't be necessary to remove the keys. The thief is not the victim nor is the owner culpable. What happened to conscience, decency, honesty, integrity, responsibility???

Are some of you actually sticking up for this idiot, come on don't blame the victims. Richard37, have you been to Lubec, you seem to have a very strong opinion of it. I bet the guy who pulled him from the burning truck would do it again, unless he saw Perry inside.

I agree with freewill and gettingby. There is no reason why you should have to worry about your vehicle in your own driveway. The unfortunate thing is the people who owned these vehicles will never see compensation because I know this idiot. He has been in trouble with the law time and again and obviously does not learn anything about his mistakes. I could not imagine posting a comment here that suggest the owners of the vehicles be partly responsible. If someone steals a firearm from your home and commits a crime does that leave you responsible? In no way or form.

Signs of the times......................You can't leave your keys in the vehicle anymore................People blame the victim instead of the idiot looser.............You can get your head knocked off by helping them

Can someone explain to me what "a local trash dealer" is? That sounds like a job that could only exist in Washington County.

Trash dealer, definition, Person who deals in trash.

Bangorian; For your information, a local trash dealer in Washington County is someone who gathers local trash for free, and trucks it to Bangor to sell to the local suckers there. Their primary commodity is bull$hit. How much did you buy?

I hope you people who leave the keys in your vehicles don't have young children around.

Try telling the insurance comapny when you file your claim that you shouldn't have to...don't need to..and by golly never have and never will take the keys out of your vehicle.

I let my neigbors kids play ih the truck with the keys in it and a loaded hand gun in the passengers seat.....

Underestimated the walk. That's quite a long walk. Go ahead and hop in my truck. KA-Boom. That would be the AR-15 firing up. Can you say Dance one legged MF????

wow.....I just have to visit washington county....

I do leave the keys in my vehicles, and yes I do have young children. I teach them what they can and can't do, what they can and can't say, where they can and can't go and punish them if the rules are broken. It's called discipline and learning right from wrong at a young age. I also have a six-pack of beer in the fridge. Hiding everything like keys, guns, and liquor only keeps a parent from teaching what they should. This often leads to problems for them down the road, because if you hide something from a child, it makes them want to get their hands on it more. If you leave it in the open and teach the child what it is and what it can do, you will have a much easier life as a parent and a lot less problems. I know, I'm living it, and that's how I was raised.

Wish we was all in Mayberry... at least the only trouble there was Barney and Otis.

hmph... sounds like an interesting night. too bad he was too drunk to make it to machais

Not much difference between Machias and Mayberry. Someone got mad because I called Machias a one horse town. I think it's a compliment.

outdoorman,Id love to be your kid,Id be driving drunk shooting your gun out the window while you were passed out.Kids have this funny way of rebeling at some point in their lives,gonna happen sooner or later.gadfly,I agree.Try telling your insurance company you left the keys in the ignition and they wont pay one thin dime,I thought leaving keys in the car went out with picking up hitchhikers you didnt know,my bad.

Lock & Load.

Like you said Richard these Hicks will never learn! Christ they get what they deserve!!

A couple shots to the knee caps and 1 to the spine. Don't kill them just put them in a wheel chair for life.

First of all, the "trash dealer" is an 80 something very easy going person who hauls peoples garbage to the Marion Transfer Station...and it's what he makes a living from...he charges money for this. Second, outdoorman, I agree with you. I like your parenting skills, BUT, in this day and age, I would remove my keys from the ignition and bring them in your house for those who have not learned right from wrong. You just never know who is going to come upon your vehicle and decide to take it for a joy ride....like Perry tried to do. This could be a learning experience for your children. And remember, the way we were raised and the way children today should be raised, are completely different...times have changed. And as for the person who dragged Perry from the burning vehicle, he is the son of the "trash dealer"...not knowing what went on afew miles down the road to his father's truck!

Yes I have really noticed how orange knit stockin caps really soften the blows to the cranium from oncoming shovels. It wipes out almost 99% of the impact. Did you smoke a blunt before you wrote this ? Pleeeeeeeez .............give us a break..

He will be out of jaill with a merit badge in 10 days. That how it works in this state remember ?

It is quite a story you have to admit.

unispun - He wasn't too drunk to make it machias..lol he made it there in the back of the cruiser!
