Wonder why it took 14 days for this to be reported?? Vehicle has had time to make it to Mexico by now.

"Make it to Mexico"? Racist much?
There isn't a big market for stolen 10 year old municipal vehicles (high mileage, lousy specs) that somebody would risk smuggling
it all the way to Mexico, that would require a sophisticated fully thought out plan and this isn't worth that time, risk or energy

The best chance is it's running around up there in the north county with some meth heads driving it around Defuniak and will end up in Alabama or Mississippi

LOL @ Racist!

You're off to a great start having just joined Sunday. You obviously haven't spent much time in Mexico either...particularly border towns where they are happy to have four wheels on the ground and a running engine.

At this point, I don't much care where the vehicle is or who stole it but there is something some kinda fishy about this debacle.

SMH at 14 days later asking for the public's help. :blink::blink::blink::blink:

yes LOL? Racist!
The length of time I have been a member here had nothing to do with your blatantly racist comment.
I don't have time nor inclination to look through your 300 comments already this year, but first impressions are usually correct.

I used to be part of a company shipping produce from Mexico to distribution hubs in Texas,
so I am sure you are sure you know best, but I have a pretty good idea of what happens in border towns,
which is why I commented. So which Mexican border towns did you live in?

The truly sad thing is that the term "racist" has totally been bastardized and therefore totally neutered. It's basically meaningless at this point due to its constant misuse for what it actually means.

"Hmmm...I can't get attention any other way so I'm gonna scream RACIST at the top of my lungs so hell fire and damnation will rain down upon thee........so, there"

You'll garner much more meaningful discussion on here by not going for the nuclear option in only your third post...

Just sayin...

I respectfully disagree mr. Moderator sir.

Using the word racist to describe an obviously racist comment is neither "screaming it at the top of my lungs" nor a "nuclear option",
she could have easily claimed the car would be in Georgia or Louisiana by now but she was very specific about Mexico for a reason.
The fact that she doubled down on what I don't know about Mexican border towns proves exactly what I suspected,
she may or may not be a racist, but her comment was, simple as that.

Again, if my length of time here or my post count somehow is relevant to what I'm allowed to post
then simply tell me what is acceptable to you and Kaydence and what is not. If I post 20 times a day do I get more leeway?

just askin.....

I think her point may have been that the vehicle could be out of the country/across a border by now, not to slander any race. Just a thought.

Your post count is I'm sure, quite indicative of what one can expect from you...not much substance and a lot of BS.

Growing up in San Antonio Tx., moving on to Mercedes TX., and living large on South Padre Island qualifies my knowledge of border towns. TYVM.

My extended Mexican family will be happy to hear I'm racist as well. I can add that tag to "Liberal" and a few others as well.

Have a great day! :)

P.S. Not sure I care how often you post and acceptable isn't defined by me, that's defined by the board owner.

I can simply ignore stupid posts.

Glad to see we are back on track to crack the caper of the stolen BCC Vehicle.

Any idea who it was assigned to? Phone, Computer, etc., also stolen...Yikes, BCC must be really worried about what's on those devices.;)

It is more than odd that its taken 14 days to notify the public of this...:blink:

We'll see...:popcorn:

Is it possible the vehicle was/ is assigned to someone? Is it possible that who it is/was assigned to was on vacation and came back and found said vehicle gone?

ANYTHING is possible around here. Don't we have policies and procedures for that sort of thing? (Probably not)

What would your response have been if she had said Canada instead of Mexico?

Who gives a :poop:?

A County Vehicle was stolen and it took 14 days to solicit the publics help?

Thats the questions. If you want to make this some silly racial issue, take it to the Log In Only spot.

The real question is WHY 14 days? Or don't people care?:dunno:

According to Adkinson's post a burglary occurred sometime between May 21 & May 23 which would lead one to believe they know when it occurred. Even if the person to whom the vehicle was assigned was on vacation, why did it take 14 days to ask for the public's help in locating the vehicle?

Not sure you have been to the planning department in DFS but the fleet vehicles are parked right in front of the building and if someone is on vacation and their car is missing, one would think SOMEONE would have noticed that and reported it. We are not talking about a huge expansive parking lot either or 100's of fleet vehicles for the planning department....maybe 10 or 15 max.

" An iPad, cell phone, Logitech Bluetooth speakers and the keys to the stolen vehicle were taken during the burglary. "

Who goes on vacation these days without their ipad? Maybe just maybe all those things were left in the vehicle and it was a crime of opportunity!

Why on earth would there be policies and procedures already in effect for that sort of thing???? That would require advanced thought and common sense!!!! Goodness knows thats not always common anymore! :cry::floor::cuss:
I wasn't sure which emoji fit! Most of the time you have to laugh to keep from crying or getting so upset your head explodes! AND SO ARE THE DAYS OF WALTON

I would imagine Kaydence does since she was falsely accused of being racist and I know I do because it was wrong.

Poppaj...thanks. I actually think its kinda comical for someone who just joined this list to call me a racist. I sorta figured it was a fan of a certain BCC member since they do have a tendency to create fictitious names and come at me with dumb crap. Just a way for them to deflect responsibility.

The focus is 14 days to issue a BOLO??

I hope the dummy who left the keys in their vehicle is happy with the outcome of their own stupidity.

This is key. This sort of negligence, yes that's what it is called in other areas, is something to be looked into. Again, instead of termination, this will result in promotion at some-point.

From WJHG Today

DEFUNIAK SPRINGS, Fla. (WJHG/WECP) - The Walton County Sheriff's Office is looking for a stolen Walton County vehicle.

WCSO posted on the Emerald Coast Crimestoppers Facebook page that a 2007 white Chevrolet Trailblazer was stolen during a burglary at a Walton County office on Highway 90 W. in Defuniak Springs.

According to the incident report, a personnel member from the County Commissions office called the Sheriff's Office on may 23rd around one p.m. claiming that the office had been broken into.

That's when they noticed one of their vehicles missing.

The vehicle is described having a Walton County logo on the driver and passenger doors with BCC 5841.

The tag number is COUN240523.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Emerald Coast Crime Stoppers at (850) 863-TIPS or submit a tip via the Emerald Coast Crimestoppers Mobile App.

This gets more bizarre with each telling.

The "break in" allegedly occurred between May 21 (Sunday) and May 23 (Tuesday) and someone reported the "break in" at 1:00 pm Tuesday.

If you get to your office at 8 AM and its been broken into why would you wait until 1:00 in the afternoon to call police and report it?

Why wasn't anything else stolen? Just those keys to that vehicle. Makes NO SENSE!

Since this occurred in the City where the hell is our illustrious Police Chief, Mark Weeks in all this??

This whole story is odd. Nothing follows what one would think would be commonsense reporting of a crime.

It sounds to me like the County going way out of the way to protect an employee.

Do we know who's vehicle it was (or last assigned to)?
