A lone white male robbed the Title Cash location at Hwy. 341 and Yatesville Rd. of an undetermined amount of money at approximately 10 a.m. this morning.

Law enforcement personnel are on the scene. There were no injuries.

Authorities have searched the areas of Graham and Johnson streets for the suspect and issued a lookout for a vehicle thought used in the robbery. The vehicle is a white 1989 Chevy Blazer with a busted driver's side window and deer and cobra decals on the rear window. If you spot this vehicle, call 911.

all of these business owners need to start carrying a firearm. Go to the courthouse and your carrying permit paperwork and get finger printed. When we start burying these idiots they will think twice about pulling a stunt like this.

I can say if they make it to my business and I am there they will be staring down the barrell of a 45 and it will be all business!

I hate thieves!
I'm glad there were no injuries to the person who is working there for her paycheck unlike some people who make it their life's work to steal from others.
Hope the lowlife scum gets caught.

and all this time i thought the building was empty. i have never seen anyone there or any cars sitting there

If you ever look when you are driving, It is hard to miss the yellow building and the large "Title Cash" sign at the road. Apparently if you haven't noticed that then I doubt you noticed the Ford place closed a few months back.

if you will go back and read you will see where i said i never seen a car there. now that i cleared that up for you go get you some glasses and learn how to read

You said anyone or any car. From what I can tell there is someone and a car there every day. I also noticed the OPEN sign on.

Wats Up! A change at the paper?
The introductory paragraph reads:

"A lone male robbed the Title Cash location at Hwy. 341 and Yatesville Rd. of an undetermined amount of money at approximately 10 a.m. this morning."....AmAzInG! hmm! I construe this to mean a BLACK MALE did not rob the joint. By omitting the "lone male's" race in the posted description, it had to be a local Redneck hold up artist! You can bet your last Obama Buck if the robber was African American, the HEADLINEs would read as such.

From the description of the ratty Chevy Blazer with a broken window and those signature Redneck decals, no self respecting Black Man thief would be caught dead driving such a crappy get-away-car. Besides, that baby poop colored building looks like a Redneck BBQ stand. My advice to law enforcement is to cruise ALL the local trailer parks within a 20 mile area. They probably could catch the bandit since he would be high on meth and beer ny using his ill gotten gains to purchase those necessities of Redneck culture. The police shouldn't waste their time looking on Mill Street, Greenwood or Atlanta Street, just go straight to the trailer parks. Certainly that beat up Blazer is in constant need of repairs. The BPD and LCSCO should inquire at all the local junk yards and auto parts to see if parts were sold for that Blazer bomb.

If the "lone male" robber turns out to be one of my bros. and not a white dude, I APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE TO ALL THE LOCAL REDNECK THIEVES.

Say, isn't this business located really close to where Big Daddy D held his infamous party a few months back? coincidence?

Working hard to keep that 4.0 GPA!

Than you Mr. Geiger!.You "done" GOOD!

I certainly appreciate THG UPDATING the lead- in paragraph of your Title Cash story correctly describing the robber as "A lone white male robbed the Title Cash location at Hwy. 341..." You certainly are a gentleman and a scholar by correcting this in such a prompt manner. By your actions, I now WITHDRAW my premature apology to all the local Redneck thieves and meth-heads. My bros can rest easy.

It truly must have been a Candid Camera moment with the robbery possibly being turned into a made for TV movie.

Visualize a beat up Blazer lurching into the Title Cash parking lot and a scruffy meth-head with open face sores jumps out and barges inside. After completing his dastardly deed receiving enough cash for a six pack of Bud and a hit of meth, he staggers out to the Redneck SUV and roars...strike that...careens out to the open countryside belching smoke from the loud Blazer exhaust and smoke from his Basic cigarette pouring from the broken window. Great stuff!..who could play the main part? any suggestions?
How about Billy Bob Thornton? Ummm..huh..

Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Honkey.

I can see you are a person who appreciates levity and common sense. Actually, I am "half-a-honkey myself". I am somewhat similar to Prez. Obama in genetic make up. A small part of me derives from my German mother, but, the BIGGER and BETTER part of me derives from my scholary African father. I'm sure you know I am talking about my BIGGER and BETTER interlect. ...

"What's up with you" and that sweet guy "cake buddy" are amazed that an actual educated GC student can multi-task via the Internet and comment on "the happenings in our town". Albeit is MY town too. Simple, I do my work and don't spend an inordinate amount of time on the porn sites like a lot of underemployed local folks do.

My guess is those two ol' boys are too tired from a hard day at the saw mill or gravel pit or maybe a bakery to attend night classes so they later can have a lot of free time to surf the net and comment like I do.

In reply to "whats up", yes I did miss the meeting at school last week where "whats his face" told everyone to pay attention to YOUR business at school. I felt no need to attend, since I pay attention to MY business, HIS business, SCHOOL business,YOUR business, and EVERYONE elses business, because I am a Hard Working Gordon College Student. Keep up the comments fellows, you reinforce the local stereotype of a Buggy Town honkey.

A lot of people read these blogs and form opinions, don't disappoint us.

Hey Buck... the college students comments do not qualify as racism to you?

#9.2 Hard Working GC Student on 08/31/09 at 09:36 PM [Reply]

Thank you for the kind words, Mr. Wild.

I intend to keep working on my 4.0 GPA.

Some of my postings may appear harsh some of the time, but it is not my goal to offend any of our local blog readers. I can't comprehend at what point a racist "prick" (your description) gets pi**ed off.

Maybe when they get up in the afternoon and look in the mirror only to see a pair of blood shot eyes blankly staring back at them, do they start getting pi**ed off. When they read the words posted by this humble HWGCS, they really get pi**ed.

Miz Tolley posted that I am trying to copy Call N. Alcars, that is not true. He is not as good of a writer as Miz Tolley and I am sorry she feels that way about my blogging.

Got to study...maintaining that 4.0 GPA.

I LOVE YOUR COMMENTS AT LEAST YOU ARENT AFRAID OF TELLING THE TRUTH THE WAY IT IS IN THE BIG CITY OF BARNESVILLE, THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO RULE THE COURTS SYSTEMS AND LIE TO GET THERE WAY, ESPICALLY WHEN IT COMES TO CHILDREN IN THE COURT SYSTEM. SO KEEP IT UP IM LOVING IT, A FRIEND

#9.2.1.1 Anonymous on 09/01/09 at 06:16 AM [Reply]

A crime, is a crime, is a crime, is a crime. All of this stuff (racial) stemmed off of when Tamp got busted and the black community tried to take up for him. WHY? No one yet has tried to take up for the white guys that are held for robbing some stores or rec dept or whatever. No one has tried to take up for meth heads getting caught. Mr Educated can be all fancy if he wants to but the bottom line is that when a black person gets caught for something "you all" flock together to support one another and play a white folk against us suppressed black folk. That is the most stupidest thing ever. Its not just in barnesville. Its everywhere. You could be in Indiana and a black man get arrested next to you that you dont know and most of you would look at it as if the white folk is trying to mess with the black man. I have a couple of black guys that "keep it real" with me at work and we arent afraid to share stuff face to face about real world things. All of them basically said the same thing. You stick together because of race and that is it.
That is stupid.
These people are white and i hope that they do the max amount of time that can be give. Why cant you all look at it in a similar way?

This series of posts is really sad. So far there are 30 posts, and fewer than 1/3 of them are actually about the article they are posted under. That's a lot of the problem with this town; everybody is so caught up in talking about each other that we don't bother talking about the problems we face as a community. And we wonder why most of our young people with any talent or promise flee here as soon as they get the opportunity. It's not the lack of jobs. It's not the crime rate. It's not even the drugs. It's the way so many of us think, speak, & act like idiots.

Who cares about a GPA 4.0 or Gordon College. There is a robber on the loose that needs to be caught!!!

#11.1 Hard Working GC Student on 09/01/09 at 07:14 PM [Reply]

Another ANONYMOUS family member asks:

Who cares about a GPA 4.0 or Gordon College?

This humble HWGCS cares! You should too!

My goal is to get a GREAT education at GC and move up North and graduate from Harvard.
I will become a lawyer and then a community organizer and then POTUS! I know our Black President has done this already. Heck, if I can imitate, Call N. Alcars, I certainly can emulate that sentinel of liberty and justice, PRESIDENT Barack Obama!

Had you rather I succeed or fail? I don't see myself tooling around in an old Caprice sporting 22 inchers with my main job slinging dope downtown and around the schools.

There is too much drug competition even for a small town like Barnesville. After all, there is only one POTUS at a time. I can handle that!

I will continue on the ROAD TO THE WHITE HOUSE!

Since I have finished my assigned work for this week, I will try to assist local law enforcement by trying to apprehend the elusive Redneck Robber.

I do not own an automobile, therefore, it will probably take me until Friday or Saturday to complete the manhunt. I plan on touring all the Lamar County trailer parks on my motor scooter and if I can borrow gasoline money, I will probably detour over to Pike and Upson Counties. I have been told that a visit to the nasty trailer parks in and around the Griffin area might produce the Redneck Robber. The same person told me, "the Rednecks and meth-heads congregate in those trailer parks as thick as fleas on a stray dog at the local animal shelter."

The Redneck Robber possibly has his fast getaway vehicle stashed behind a trailer while he is inside downing Bud Light, smoking meth and listening to Country Radio. I bet during this high time, he is planning his next job.

It will be difficult in my quest to capture that elusive rogue. Is there a reward?

In the interim, I will not be online and will be unable to email or blog any of my friends.

My "pay-as-you-talk" cell phone is low on minutes, but I will check in with my 2 friends.

Wish me luck!

HWGCS Got that 4.0 GPA in my sights.

Maybe you can head on down to the title pawn and get gas money for title of your scooter. Think of it as an investment toward the reward.

#11.1.1.1 Hard Working GC Student on 09/03/09 at 12:12 PM [Reply]

Hmmm...seeking a title loan on my scooter from Title Pawn is an excellent idea! Any funds received from my "hocked scooter" would assist greatly with mounting expenses until my next student grant is received.

I hope Title Pawn does not inspect scooters very closely. While I was cruising through a run down trailer park off Highway 41 yesterday looking for the Redneck Robber, the front wheel of my scooter dropped into an enormous pot hole. The resulting damages to my scooter were a bent wheel and numerous paint scratches on both fenders.

I suffered a very minor injury when I was ejected onto an adjacent grassy knoll that residents use as a picnic area. Someone had left an empty twelve pack of Bud Light cans along with several super-sized bags of BBQ meat skins. These empty 'supper staples' could have been discarded to the top of the nearby overflowing trash dumpsters and my minor injury would have been avoided. I won't sue.

I'm OK and will continue the Redneck Robber search after I have visited Title Pawn.

ScottE, I appreciate your concern for me.

Hey Hard Worker, that might have been a opossum trap you dropped your scooter wheel down into. And the pigskins were probably trap bait, and WHO doesn't know that opossum roast with beer gravy ain't a feast fit for a king, or future Gordon alumnus who can surely fall back on his detective hobby if he reconsiders his plan to run oft to Yankee land to get his head full of liberal claptrap at "Haavad".

BTW, that scooter you are riding is probably worth more than half the cars already titled out.

#11.1.1.1.1.1 Hard Working GC Student on 09/11/09 at 05:24 PM [Reply]

Thank you for the kind words.

I don't believe the trailer park residents were attempting to trap 'possums. There was an abundant supply of large rats scurrying about the overflowing dumpsters that were available for consumption. I didn't do well in Zoology, but, I have heard the Norway breed of rodent is similar in taste to the marsupial'possum. Some have likened it to "tastes like chicken".

The unfortunate trailer park accident that sidelined "Scooter" for a while, actually worked out for the best. I made a "new best friend" at the accident site when she rushed over to assist me. We "spend a lot of time" together in her big 'ol Chevy 4X4. That monster(the truck not my BFF))is black and all jacked up and constantly needs washing. We go mudding a lot over in Pike County.

I am now able to continue my search for the Redneck Robber with a feeling of comfort and security. I don't tour the trailer parks with apprehension anymore since I sit next to Bonnie Lou inside the cab of her 3/4 ton Chevy. We have a Red Ryder BB gun mounted on the back window gun rack. Viewing that BB gun through a muddy nicotine stained window, it is often mistaken for a 30-30 Marlin. Besides, once Bonnie Lou exits the truck, she displays a menacing appearance from her Justin boots all the way up to her Resistol hat. In between the hat and boots, Bonnie Lou has 220 pounds poured into her Wranger jeans. She is tall too! I am 5ft. 7in. and she comes up to my brow. She is a formidable ally and BFF. She insists on utilizing the drive-thrus of Wendy's and Sonic a lot while we are man-hunting. That is OK with me, because, it is fun to watch BL hurriedly consume a dozen chicken nuggets, 3 burgers with french fries and onion rings washed down with a 32 oz Coke. She always pays the tabs and tells me "a girl has to keep up her strength" for her man. Bonnie Lou tells me that I work her harder than Jed Clampett worked his bloodhound named Duke. I always apologize, although I don't have a clue about Jed Clampett and Duke.

She is on her way to pick me up to continue our Redneck Robber search. She wants us to stop by The Garden Patch to fill up before we proceed. I believe that establishment might be a sushi and salad bar. Mmmmmmm...good.

WhooooHoooo!..I can not believe it! I made the BIG TIME by getting support from Miz Tolley!

Reading between the lines of your most welcome comment, it seems that I have your SUPPORT!
...or does my motor scooter have your support?

Although "Scooter" is an inanimate object, I have developed an anthropormorphic relationship with "her". I passed along your willingness to support both of us, but, received no reply from "Scooter".
I THANK you from both of us.

All this time, I felt that you didn't like me or my comments. I developed a semi-mild acute inferiority complex. All is right with the world now and I feel so much better.

Oh! I just remembered, I will not be able to run for President until I'm 35 years old.
Will you STILL lend me your support in 2026?

"Scooter" will be of age very soon, but she is inelgible. She has a birth certificate/Tag Title from Japan. If it will help, I have a friend in Hawaii who can send me an "official document" bearing the date of August 4, 1961.

Will that suffice?

I can start small and run for Mayor!

Good night.

This place was robbed at what time? And how long did it take the police to get there? Seems to me that someone would have noticed something. Sounds fishy to me. Wonder if there were cameras or an alarm system?

Is there any updates on this?

Why has this story not updated? Is there still a robber on the loose in Lamar County, that we (citizens) need to know about?

Looks like they have issued an arrest warrant.
