Plea to truck burglar: Return Burleson kid’s custom gun
Without his Perazzi MX8, Dakotah Richards can't go on. (In bunker trap competition, we mean.)
When John Richards of Burleson returned to his pickup truck where it was parked outside a North Fort Worth Mexican food joint, he discovered that it (the truck) had been broken into, and that the thief had taken his son Dakotah's souped-up shotgun (a $15,000 Perazzi MX8).
Without the fancy-dancy firearm, Dakotah says he might as well pack it in in terms of competition (he's an Olympic-level competitor in the sport of -- um -- bunker trap shooting). And his father is offering a $1,000 reward for the return of the shotgun -- perhaps in an attempt to appeal to both the thief's better nature and his short-term junk food needs.

I hope this story was not done to blame the dad for the shotguns disappearing. Or that you were taking a slam for the event this young man was participating in.
I would rather support this kid then the nasty trash that plays football, baseball, hocky and basketball at a professional level.
