More on Marvin Heemeyer and his strange last ride...
Marvin Heemeyer was the guy who built up his bulldozer with armor and then used it to smash a number of buildings in downtown Granby Colorado.
Going through his house, 'authorities' found (as reported by the
Rocky Mountain News):
bq. Authorities searching the Grand Lake home of Marvin Heemeyer found handwritten lists of people he apparently intended to target Friday in his armor-plated bulldozer attack on Granby.
bq. One list named buildings, and he smashed into all but one of them - the Catholic church - Grand County Sheriff Rodney Johnson said Monday. Heemeyer's bulldozer also chewed up buildings that weren't on his list.
The same website (
different article) also says that there is a little problem with classifying the damage:
bq.
Insurance forms don't have a box to check for 'bulldozer'
Nobody could have predicted that a Granby man would bulldoze 13 structures in the tiny mountain town Friday.
bq. And nobody knows exactly how the damage that Marvin Heemeyer caused will be classified by insurance companies.
bq. "It could be terrorism, it could be vandalism . . . it would depend on what the wording of the contracts were," said Jerry Peden, vice president at Van Gilder Insurance.
Heh... Marvin certainly got himself a place in the history books...
