The jig is up! Oh well. Guess what's for dinner...
I know a guy who had a similar situation with his daughter and her boyfriend, who are trash people. Long story short, he wanted them gone and they refused. After too much time and a few physical altercations, he took some advice, went to a particular part of town and offered a couple of hundred bucks to some guys if they would remove his issue (the boyfriend). A little while later, the boyfriend spent a day or two in the hospital while his shit was thrown away. The daughter stayed with him, but he never came back to daddy's house.
This is starting to sound like the beginning of "The Godfather". And its too bad that people have to resort to such things.
It worked. May be another body after they fight over who gets the money.
A crazed woman was captured on video allegedly pretending to be interested in purchasing a luxury car that she then stole after locking the doors and running over the owner in his own driveway.
Ring camera footage caught the woman ringing the victim’s doorbell looking to buy a 2022 Porsche Cayenne he had listed on Autotrader, according to Peel Regional Police in Canada.
The woman then got behind the wheel of the car and peeled out of the driveway, slamming into the victim’s body and dragging him into the street before fleeing with the stolen car, police said.
The suspect — described as a South Asian woman — showed up at the victim’s Toronto home on Sept. 6 and told the victim she was interested in “taking a look” at the Porsche and was waiting for her father to arrive.

Boy abducted from California in 1951 at age 6 found alive on East Coast more than 70 years later
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Luis Armando Albino was 6 years old in 1951 when he was abducted while playing at an Oakland, California park. Now, more than seven decades later, Albino has been found thanks to help from an online ancestry test, old photos and newspaper clippings.
The Bay Area News Group reported Friday that Albino’s niece in Oakland — with assistance from police, the FBI and the Justice Department — located her uncle living on the East Coast.
Albino, a father and grandfather, is a retired firefighter and Marine Corps veteran who served in Vietnam, according to his niece, 63-year-old Alida Alequin. She found Albino and reunited him with his California family in June.
On Feb. 21, 1951, a woman lured the 6-year-old Albino from the West Oakland park where he had been playing with his older brother and promised the Puerto Rico-born boy in Spanish that she would buy him candy.
Instead, the woman kidnapped the child, flying him to the East Coast where he ended up with a couple who raised him as if he were their own son, the news group reported. Officials and family members didn’t say where on the East Coast he lives.
For more than 70 years Albino remained missing, but he was always in the hearts of his family and his photo hung at relatives’ houses, his niece said. His mother died in 2005 but never gave up hope that her son was alive.
Oakland police acknowledged that Alequin’s efforts “played an integral role in finding her uncle” and that “the outcome of this story is what we strive for.”
In an interview with the news group, she said her uncle “hugged me and said, ‘Thank you for finding me’ and gave me a kiss on the cheek.”
Oakland Tribune articles from the time reported police, soldiers from a local army base, the Coast Guard and other city employees joined a massive search for the missing boy. San Francisco Bay and other waterways were also searched, according to the articles. His brother, Roger Albino, was interrogated several times by investigators but stood by his story about a woman with a bandana around her head taking his brother.
The first notion that her uncle might be still alive came in 2020 when, “just for fun,” Alequin said, she took an online DNA test. It showed a 22 percent match with a man who eventually turned out to be her uncle. A further search at the time yielded no answers or any response from him, she said.
In early 2024, she and her daughters began searching again. On a visit to the Oakland Public Library, she looked at microfilm of Tribune articles — including one that had a picture of Luis and Roger — which convinced her that she was on the right track. She went to the Oakland police the same day.
Investigators eventually agreed the new lead was substantial, and a new missing persons case was opened. Oakland police said last week that the missing persons case is closed, but they and the FBI consider the kidnapping a still-open investigation.
Luis was located on the East Coast and provided a DNA sample, as did his sister, Alequin’s mom.
On June 20, investigators went to her mother’s home, Alequin said, and told them both that her uncle had been found.
“We didn’t start crying until after the investigators left,” Alequin said. “I grabbed my mom’s hands and said, ‘We found him.’ I was ecstatic.”
On June 24, with the assistance of the FBI, Luis came to Oakland with members of his family and met with Alequin, her mother and other relatives. The next day Alequin drove her mother and her newfound uncle to Roger’s home in Stanislaus County, California.
“They grabbed each other and had a really tight, long hug. They sat down and just talked,” she said, discussing the day of the kidnapping, their military service and more.
Luis returned to the East Coast but came back again in July for a three-week visit. It was the last time he saw Roger, who died in August.
Alequin said her uncle did not want to talk to the media.
“I was always determined to find him, and who knows, with my story out there, it could help other families going through the same thing,” Alequin said. “I would say, don’t give up.”

According to the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office, 20-year-old Nathaniel McGuire detonated a homemade bomb inside the courthouse in Santa Maria, located on the Central Coast, about an hour north of Santa Barbara.
Authorities responded to the Santa Maria courthouse around 8:50 a.m. after a man, believed to be McGuire, entered the facility and threw a bag at the security screening station.
The bag exploded and McGuire fled to his parked car, but was apprehended by a court security officer, a Sheriff’s Deputy and a California Highway Patrol officer, officials said during an afternoon press conference in Santa Maria.
McGuire, a resident of Santa Maria, was wearing body armor under his jacket at the time of his arrest, Santa Barbara County Undersheriff Craig Bonner said. McGuire was uninjured in the blast.
The number of victims eventually grew, with four people being transported to a local hospital, Bonner said. An additional victim later arrived at the hospital on their own, he added.
Three of the people hospitalized suffered “physical” injuries, including burns, that were not believed to be life-threatening. All of the injured victims have since been treated and released, Bonner said.
Detectives believe that McGuire’s motivation for the alleged attack stemmed from a July arrest for firearms violations. On July 28, 2024, the 20-year-old was arrested after sheriff’s deputies discovered an unregistered and loaded revolver on his person.

I'm pretty sure that's not going to help his case any.
It's in CA, I assume everything has to be illegally registered to be "legal", unless of course the owner fits a certain profile, like is "undocumented" or donates enough to "Act Blue".
