This week, motivated by the Cowardly Trencher's return, I checked a name that had come to me against the student car database. I got a hit. It turns out "the name" drives a tan 1997 Chevy Z71, matching the description of the truck I saw drive across my lawn last June.
My memory of his behavior in my class leads me to conclude he is capable of a stunt or two like the trenchings, also he was a sneak--not a kid with much honor or courage. I wouldn't have thought he had the concentration to keep it up this long.
We'll see what happens. The police knew his name from some other incidents. The question now is what to do with the knowledge. The information is probably not enough to convict him for more than the one time I saw, even though he may have been doing this for nearly a year. I think to get him the help he needs we need to gather more evidence and arrest him when we can prove this is a long term pattern of behavior.
