Very interesting read. I'm glad it worked out for you.
Serious question: while blocking the boys in, had they decided to to leave anyway and resulted in damaging the retired GWs vehicle (as I probably would have rammed it with my winch bumper), what would have been the results? Charges for destruction of property? Even though he was trespassing and illegally detaining the boys.
Anything worth doing, is worth doing right, or it's not worth doing at all! ------------------------------
