Don't Mess With Ken Barnhart

You have heard the expression "Don't mess with Texas" well, around the park we now use the expression "Don't mess with Ken!"  About 2 weeks ago 2 young men came in the park and came in to get a drink when we were playing Canasta. Some of the ladies ask what they were doing in the park and they said visiting their Grandma. they ask what grade they were in and when school would be getting out etc. They seemed real polite and nice....but...when I left to go home my golf cart was not there, well, I went on home thinking Bobby had come up and took it for some reason. I got home and he said he hadn't taken it. So I went back up to the hall and just before I got there, Aloha was going by in her car, she asked if I was looking for my golf cart, I said yes and she said 2 boys were riding around on it, she wasn't sure if it was ours and stopped and ask them what they were doing and they said they had permission to drive it and that they were visiting their Grandma here in the park and she lived at 210. She still followed them for a bit and they stopped and asked "Are you following us?" We told you we have permission. So when she saw me walking and I told her our cart was missing , I hopped in with her to go find them. We didn't find them but Bill Clement said they went out the park and turned South. We went out of the park looking for them but didnt see them and I called the police then and they came out. Made out a report etc. Well, 2 days ago Ken Barnhart was just going out of the park when he met 2 boys coming in. They said they were going to visit their Grandma in 210. He knew right then these were the same boys who were in here  and stoled our cart. He told them they needed to come to the office to be signed in as a visitor to be able to be in the park, they jumped in the car  with him. When they got to the office and were  being questioned they said their Grandma lived at 210, Ken said there's no one at living at 210 right now and they said maybe it was 2210, they decide to get the heck out of the park and took off running, well, Ken tackled the one boy and subdued him and picture this...Martha Millender chased the other boy but didn't catch him!!! the police were called and waiting on the police Ken had to hold down the boy as he wanted to get away, when the police came they immediately recognized the boy as they arrested him days before for getting in an altercation with a teacher at school. the boy admitted taking the golf cart. They took the kid to jail. A day or so later police recovered the cart. The boy with him was not the same one who was in the park and took our cart, don't know if they got him or not.Quite a bit of excitement and we were gone and missed it all!
