Theres a huge over the road truck shop about two miles from here right at the edge of the park in the old strip mine shop. Someone must have stole a tractor from there and was cutting cookies in the parking lot at Super lake and end up ramming the bathroom! :eek:

This truck was parked out back of the truck shop. I think its the one used to demolish the bathroom...

Thats a bad deal.....

Wow hope they catch who ever did that.

There we have it.

Proof why showing the doorway is the safest place to stand during an earthquake. (unless you can get outside.)

That is just a plain shame. sure hope they catch that sucker.

:eek:

When they find them I bet they wont have the free time to be playing any more truck demo.

Wow! Looks like they really took that truck for the ride!

Thats a bad deal.....

Eps if you were on the toliet........:eek:

Is there a lot of big industry or a warehouse near the truck stop? The reason I ask, that truck must have been unhooked from the trailer already when it was stolen. A lot of places let you drop your trailer and contact you later when it's unloaded so the driver can eat and shower up in the mean time at the nearest truck stop if available.
I hope they catch the SOB!

You just got to wonder if they new if anyone was inside the bldg before they did it. Sure like to see them get caught, but the odds are they won't.

Wow bet that was one expensive ride. Hope they catch em!

Looks to be the work of some local kids. IMO they will be caught WHEN they start talkin about it.:rolleyes: Honestly who could keep that story to themselves.:cool:

That's awful! I can not stand vandals and hope that whoever did that gets caught real soon. What a shame!

THATS BAD BUT YET LOOKS LIKE FUN bet they had a blast

And of course, if and when they do find the culprit(s), they won't have the money to undo the damage they did. At the same time, they need to be caught and an example made of them. I'd be willing to bet dollars to donuts that alcohol or some other intoxicant was involved.

No Way You Cant Drive That Gud While Intoxicated Lol

I know exactly where that's at.

Hope they catch the scumbags!

Come on where's the humor in this stupid act, yes stupid ?
Bet you wouldn't find it funny if someone took your vehicle to do the same with it.

ima kid and your an adult thats where i find humor in it

LOL!! Now you're just stirring the pot!! haha!

ima kid and your an adult thats where i find humor in it

Right.


I work around 289 (so called) kids that would probably find it funny too, we have a cell for you.
I'll leave the light on.

:D Just like Hotel 6! How old are the inmates there, up to 18?

:D Just like Hotel 6! How old are the inmates there, up to 18?

I've seen as old as 21.

I took another look a this tread with the hope that it would be posted that they may have caught someone. they still might catch em.

It's been a pretty quiet thing over this way.. not much being said about it around the neighborhood..

you people take stuff way to serious yea i hope they catch them too but i still think that would be fun and you cant tell me you older people nvr destroyed sumthing when you were a kid cum on ive heard way to many storys abt them days ya ya you would get beaten to hell but still you would do it anyway

Maybe we take it seriously because it's tax money that we earned that will go to rebuild that toilet and repair the rest of the damage that bastidge did. If someone took a piece of excavation equipment to the bathroom in your house, would you still be guffawing? I doubt it, especially if you were inside at the time. And no, I never destroyed anything deliberately, and especially nothing that expensive to repair. As a taxpayer (and you will be soon too my friend) in a state that is fighting insolvency, I find it appalling that anyone would do something like this.

Guess the older people you talked to were just like the dirtbags that did the damage to the building.:(:confused:

Sorry but I had the fear of God and my parents instilled in me. When I was a kid it wasn't God I feared the most, it was my parents.:eek:

Maybe that's the problem.... Dirtbag Parents that raise Dirtbag kids that tear up other peoples stuff... and think it's fun or funny:confused::mad:

Smoke sooner or later you'll realize that vandalism isn't all it's cracked up to be. Yeah I use to plow things over in my truck when I was younger, dumber and more immature (emphasis on the last two).... I even carried a can of spray paint to match my truck to cover up scratches before going home.

I'll just end that story there, the main thing is grow up and don't tear up stuff!

Good points Bird!

I'm sure we all have a few skeletons Smokey. BUT we all are bigger, better, and more mature now. And looking back we can see how STUPID these kinds of antics are. Someday you will too...

2000 square foot closet for those skeletons! Stupid, stupid, stupid!

If we were figuring the closet space by surface area, mines would be better to do in acres or quarter sections than square feet.

I was an angel!!! ;) ;) LOL

Dang you people are up tight. Look at the bright side a couple bricklayers , a few carpenters and some mechanics will get some much needed work of it. Its been tough lately.

Smokey, not all of us tore stuff up, and I can bet very few did anything like this. A bit of advice from a codger who's seen a hell of a lot more of this world than you have Smokey, don't ever destroy anything that you can't afford to replace. My first thought is the guy who did that is d@mn lucky there wasn't a member of the serve and protect team around to take him out of everyone's misery.

AND C YOU OLDER PEOPLE JUST ADMITED AND MADE MY POINT IM YOUR AGE WHEN YOU DID IT so let me go i havnt went to jail havnt got busted i havnt even messed up alot of things but sumtimes alcohal gets the best of you and you all no and tsheets lol i highly doubt that lol yea everyone fears there parents at sum point but i got over that when they make me pay for alot of stuff and yea taxes they suck but you have to pay them its part of life im not as old as you people but im sure il be beaching abt the gov more as age progressses im just a young punk kid young and dumb everyone goes throught that stage :D

Are your parents the ones that did the damage to the building? Or did you?

If they or you did the damge. Then yes IMO; they, or you... are what I said.... Dirtbags

Did I ever call them a POS? NO, YOU did that on your own......... DUDE

ok didnt say everyone did this and im not talking abt jsut this im talking other things too life


and ron dirtbags pos same thing just more harsh and no i didnt you said parents of whoever did that are dirtbags maybe they arnt you said anyone who does this there parents dirtbags

im done arguing cuz i dnt have time


LIKE I SAID THAT LOOKS LIKE FUN!!!!!!!!! END OF MY STORY THE END

This was not just someone cutting donuts in a parking lot or in the grass.
This was not just a prank or a harmless joy ride !

It was someone stealing a big, expensive & dangerous piece of equipment, that can do major damage in the wrong hands !!!!!!
It was someone destroying tens of thousands of dollars of public property, on PURPOSE. Plain & simple.
Another thing no one has brought up, what if someone would have been in that public bathroom at the time they brought that building down ??????
They would have probably been dead. :mad:

ANYONE, who thinks that kind of stuff looks fun, or finds humor in this or thinks that would be a blast, need to have their head examined ! :confused:

Y'know Smokey, if I were gonna start telling God that He doesn't exist, I'd make pretty d@mn sure I'm right first.:D

Agreed, some of us fear a lightning strike or being swallowed by a whale.

i dnt have faith dnt beleive thats me i dnt down people who do beleive do wat you want i wont get into this religious stuff cuz everyone is against me and my gma was the most relgious person i new i choose to take the other path

This was on the local news here last night.

This was on the local news here last night.

I saw that too Flat, I was like dang bam posted shots of that over 2 weeks ago. :eek: :D

No - it happened AGAIN ( different lake) - on the 12th - this time the truck was one of SIMX 's and after they smashed the bathroom, they sunk the truck in the edge of the strip pit...

First incident was on the 22nd of August I think..

Tweakers?

Was this SIMX truck stolen from the same truck stop?

THe shops are pretty much side by side.. they are all over at the old consol rail loading area - SIMX does dry bulk stuff off the train cars back there

Busted!....

http://www.duquoin.com/news/x1073706373/Tamaroa-Pinckneyville-Men-Arrested-for-Park-Vandalism

On Tuesday September 22, 2009 Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) and Perry County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO) made two arrests reference the criminal damage at Pyramid State Park.

IDNR, Perry County Sheriff’s Office and DuQuoin Police Department investigators had recently been working tips concerning the criminal damage. Investigators from IDNR, PCSO and DQPD spent countless hours working the tips.

On Tuesday the following subjects were arrested:

Christopher Phillips (20) of Pinckneyville and Jerry Martin Patterson (18) of Tamaroa were arrested and charged with 2 counts each of Criminal Damage to State Supported Property over $10,000 but less than $100,000 and Possession of stolen vehicle.

Both subjects were incarcerated in the Perry County Jail after not posting bond. Bond set in the amount of $40,000 each.

Sheriff Kellerman and IDNR wish to thank all the people that phoned in information concerning this incident that lead to the arrest. Without the public’s assistance this case would have taken much longer to resolve.

Thanks for the update Debunk. I'm sure these two will have plenty of time to contemplate just how much fun they had.

Its kind of a Sad thing whats going to happen.

Here is how it will end.

2 young adults will be tried in court, found guilty, sentinced to prison for criminal damage to Federal Property along with Felony theft of a vehicle. Tax payers will get to pay wages, food and shelter to watch them for a couple years. Tax payers will pay for the damage to repair the State Park Property.
They will be released (they probably just got carried away with too much party'n) and will never be able to find a decent job the rest of their lives.

To bad they just can't make them rebuild the damage done to a new condition, repay all those who were burdened, give them some hours of community service to take care of some State Park items that need fixed, like filling in the pot holes on the park roads. This would save tax dollars, make sense and give them an outlook on life.

That would be the smart way to handle it. Unfortunately that's now how our legal system is set up. A few judges are starting to look at cases from that viewpoint, but they are few and far between.

I am with you Debunk! Shame the system dose not work that way. I was impressed a few years ago when one of our local cops caught two teen aged youth busting pumpkins, they got to clean up the mess and replace the pumpkins carved and all to the 6 houses they took them from. They decided they would do that instead of facing the judge. I told the cop I like his style.

Yep. A few months ago a sheriff stopped at my folks in Indiana to tell dad his tiller had been stolen and that they'd caught the kid that did it. Dad didn't even know it was missing yet. It hadn't been working but the kid got it running and took the engine off for a go kart. the Sheriff made him put the tiller back together, so Dad now has a working tiller. Sometimes some good comes out of it.

It takes common sense to deal like that. I'm a Mayberry type too. (Yes I still watch that show... good stuff) Hard to find common sense in today's state of affairs.

Maybe a e-mail to the judge that presides over this may think in those lines if contacted. Lord knows where I would be if I got caught doing foolish things as a youth/young adult!
Momma tried! Momma tried!

Maybe they'll draw Campanella...

The way the state is going to start letting criminals out (early) the judges are going to have to be more creative because they wont be getting jail (&/or prison) time.

I'm with you DBunk, give them comunity time to clean up the mess and then mix the mortor by hand to set the blocks back. No back-hoes or motors just their back bones. The road work for a year should slow their heels a little.

20-year-old Christopher Phillips and 18-year-old Jerry Patterson of Tamaroa are charged with possessing a stolen vehicle and criminal damage to state property.

WOW, not a good start to a young life. Hope this is a lesson to them and others who have thoughts of doing the same. If this is the first offense for each I hope the Judge will give them something to think about but give them a second chance (last chance however).

I'm glad they caught them. Now we'll see how the courts handle them. I'm thinking they don't think it's as funny now as it seemed that night.

What is wrong with some people?

What was wrong simple BEER.

We saw this early the following morning after it happened, I was mighty pissed, that was my favorite place to drop the ole' mornin' DEUCE!!! Then if memory serves they did the same to Golden Eye shortly after I believe.. Or it may have been the following season.. I was thinking the little Meth-Head that drove it on there was lucky the concrete did not give way and he get my DEUCE all over him(falling down into the tank), ohhh, that would have been a fitting punishment..
