I was going on a road trip today, a four-hour drive to see some friends, but I broke a tooth this morning. Groannnn, on a weekend when no dentist accepts emergency cases. Oh well.
 
Ouch. But there are some dentists you can call on-call. How did you break your tooth?

From ripping duct tape with my teeth. Yep, ouchies galore. But I have a friend on the way with some pain meds, so I will be flying soon, not driving. Lol
 
At the very least, pick up a tube of Orajel. That will give you some temporary relief in between pain meds. You can get that anywhere.

I got clove oil, and it helps a bit.
Oh boy, the tooth broke right down the middle. WEIRD.
 
When I got up from a midafternoon nap, I went into the kitchen and saw four boys in the back yard. They were about nine or ten years old, thereabouts, and were poking around in my "junk area" where I throw furnaces, water heaters, air conditioning units, etc. One had a maul hammer, one a machete, the other two with branch clippers. I had them out there for sharpening, you know. I went out there and yelled Hey! They took off running faster than Indians. They made a mess, knocking over a bbq grill, cut the clotheslines, and even pulled the rusty go-cart frame halfway out of the shed. (There was a new battery charger hooked to the riding mower, but they didn't take that, go figure.) An hour later a friend stopped by and I casually told her what happened. She insisted I call the police because if they "whack" anybody with the machete, I would be on the hook for it. I made the report over the phone.
My friend remarked I could sleep through a civil war. Lol
 
Dang. You must have an interesting backyard.

But your friend was probably right, smart to get a police report out of it.

So did they manage to steal anything?

The took a machete, an antique maul hammer, and just a couple garden tools.
I have two vans and two cars out back with everything else. Lol
I really cannot blame the boys, you know? I brought in the rest of the stuff and locked the shed.

So how would you be liable for any injuries they cause with something they stole from you? It wasn't a gun???? If that's the case Id cut down all the trees too so they don't break a branch off and whack someone as well....lol

I can't vouch for the items causing liability - it might be a state law wherever he lives - but here in Minnesota, if you leave your car running for any reason and it is stolen at that time, and an incident happens (accident, homicide, etc.) the owner is just as liable as the person who stole it. I'm sure there's some flexibility as to the charges, but still. ....

I would guess that if they did fingerprinting on any that is involved in a crime, Beo's would show up on them though I would think Beo can make a good case that he didn't have anything to do with it now that the report is registered.

But... I'm no lawyer or police officer :).
