I'm sure that was just talk in front of the boy, put the fear of God in him. I'm betting unc talked to him like a man and became more involved.My little cousin stole my jeep when I was like 22 and went for a joyride. He was only 14 and had two more 14 years Olds and his 8 yr old sister with him. Got pulled over and ran from the cops. Cop told me that he was going so fast around a turn that the Jeep got up on two wheels. I wanted to whip his ass so bad. Fortunately Noone or the Jeep got hurt.
He did have dog tags so there might be some daily pushups involved.
