trouble in Danbury

[crownironman]

Caution to those heading around the Danbury WI area. Last weekend coming home from the lake I stopped at a gas station in Danbury to check my power steering fluid level. I had problems with a leaking hose and I didn't want to burn up the pump on the long ride back home. While I was looking under the hood a Native American approached me and asked if I had car troubles. I said, "No, I am just adding more power steering fluid". He said him and his brother were mechanics and he insisted to help me. I said no for a second time and turned to look in my truck. When I turned the guy sucker punched me in the face. He got a head start on me as I chased him, he jumped into the back on an older silver Ford LTD four door. The driver was an over weight Native American woman. The car sped away, east in the direction of Hinkley.

This is the second time I have had this kind of think happen to me, the time in Garrison MN. Both times I was checking something under the hood of my car.

Be aware and stay safe. Both times were during the day.

Not to mention the fact that the car-jacker who shot that woman in the face here in a twin cities suburb then robbed an armored car in Hudson is still on the loose probably somewhere in WI - - keep your wits about you this weekend!

did you report the plate # to the sheriff? between the tourists on atv's and the natives, we stay the heck out of danbury in the summer. a lot of this stuff happens in hertel too.

p.s. you'll need to be more descriptive than saying a heavy indian woman!

[crownironman]

I did get the plate number but I have it in my truck and it is at home. I will post that later.

I didn't get a good look at the woman, there were a bunch of them in the car, he was the only mail. I was to busy going after the guy I didn't even look at the others. I was told by other by standers that she was heavy.

I doubt the car-jacker stayed in WI. long but isn't Hinckley in MN., which would be west of Danbury?

[crownironman]

Yeah, Hinkly is West, my bad. I don't know what my problem is. Everytime I tell someone about this, I keep saying east, when I mean west. Sorry

[Sinker]

No, it's no big deal,I'm just trying to figure this out.I'm from Hudson and spend a chunk of time in that area.Bad deal.Was it in broad daylight at a gas station?If so,that really would take guts on their part.Mainly good people up there but it just takes a few slugs to ruin an otherwise good day.Take it easy.

our version is four words - "out of state plates" pretty much makes you a driving target.

[crownironman]

I gave the plate number to the police and they said they would look into it, but most of the time they said the plate is no good but that they would check it anyways.

CrownIronman,

Was that at the Log Cabin or the Bear?
Not that it realy matters...it ain't like there is more that a road between them. Just thinking the Liquor store might have something to do with it.
