| 1654 | Article | NLogan | I got the tank and had it stolen from my grandma's back yard. My twin brother raced after the thieves they were also kids who had jumped the fence. I ran for my dad in the house and came in crying blurting out stolen and my brother's name. My dad thought someone had kidnapped my brother. I never saw my dad run that fast my life he cleared the back fence 6 feet high by just putting a hand on top and leaping over and racing down the alley. Me and grandpa jumped in the truck and roared around the block to head them off. The kids were older than me and my brother but somehow my brother scared one into dropping the gijoes and tank and bolting the other direction. My dad caught the other one. The first one probably saw my dad pounding down the alley after them and gave it up. We escorted the kid back to grandma's crying. My dad made me share my gum with him which I thought was unfair as we called his parents. One very angry dad showed up to collect him and promptly smacked the snot right out of him. I felt bad. The dad took the thief home. The cops were never called. We recovered most of the toys stolen. The tank remained missing. It was the last time we used grandma's garden as a jungle to play in. We had turned our backs for a few minutes setting up defenses across the tiny little irrigation canal that she had in her yard for watering and they must have been walking up the alley and saw our toys. I learned that we treat all people with respect even if they have wronged us and that most "bad" people are just good people that made a bad mistake. I don't know if the tank was worth it to them, it sure didn't look like it to me. | Dec 16, 2014 |  | |
| 1656 | Article | vkimo | So one kid remained on the loose? I thought you'd be able to squeeze the one kid into giving up some intel on who the other culprit was. | vkimo's Christmas Special | Dec 16, 2014 | |
| 1657 | Article | NLogan | We were lucky to get his name and number he was crying so hard. | vkimo's Christmas Special | Dec 16, 2014 | |
| 1658 | Article | Vaporman87 | Sounds like the one who got caught learned a lesson for life. I hate to think what he endured when they got home. | vkimo's Christmas Special | Dec 16, 2014 | |
| 1660 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Your Christmas tale definitely makes me wish we had an extended family we could visit, but my wife and I are both "stranded in the desert" far away from home. I loved the excitement of family reunions growing up and seeing all the distant relatives I never knew existed. @NLogan That is a pretty great lesson your Dad taught you guys. Your epic story makes me realize I should have involved my Dad when my Star Wars toys got stolen by a neighbor kid and his brother. My Mom just didn't have that intimidation factor. | vkimo's Christmas Special | Dec 16, 2014 | |
| 1661 | Article | vkimo | The comments section is kind of making me want to write an article about the time my Pokemon cards got stolen. | vkimo's Christmas Special | Dec 16, 2014 | |
| 1666 | Article | Vaporman87 | Oooooh. Do tell. Did anybody get arrested? LOL | vkimo's Christmas Special | Dec 16, 2014 | |
| 1707 | Article | NLogan | One of these days vkimo will be back on the west coast. He will then have access to his childhood pictures again. I hope he chooses to use them in a future article. So that we can finally see the man behind the mask. I know that he is not pictured here because none of these pictures are of his decade. The closest one is 1985 based upon the Transformers Autobot dress up playset pictured. | vkimo's Christmas Special | Dec 19, 2014 | |
| 1708 | Article | vkimo | That is become I am an enigma...existing in all time periods, and none. Foreordained to haunt the retro message boards of the land in hopes of keeping my legacy alive. For the moment all cease to recall the name vkimo, I will be doomed to the toy clearance bin of the great beyond and forced to play endless games of Connect Four with Moss Man. | vkimo's Christmas Special | Dec 19, 2014 | |
| 1709 | Article | NLogan | There are worse fates. Moss Man at least smells like a pine tree. Your celebrity here on the the retro boards will not be forgotten but could be cemented for ever in the halls of history with a picture to focus on. Think George Washington or Abe Lincoln. Likely no one will forget what Mona Lisa looks like. Your third eye only makes it more memorable and endearing. | vkimo's Christmas Special | Dec 19, 2014 | |
