We had a situation not to far from where I lived with my parents -- before I got married -- that was interesting to say the least. A retired gentleman had a younger neighbor that was harrassing him. He stole the gentleman's firewood, and did all kinds of malicious things to his property. And he not only got away with it he mocked the retired gentleman. The gentleman reported all of this to the local police but they refused to take him seriously. I guess they wrote him off as a nutjob. Finally the retired gentleman couldn't take it anymore and shot the guy -- once again stealing his firewood -- and killed him. Suddenly the local police take great interest in the situation. The gentleman is of course arrested and is serving time in prison last I heard. But what really floored the local "good ol' boys" was he was a retired policeman from the second largest city in the state! I guess if they had bothered to take any interest in the situation they would have found that out.
