I made the acquaintance of Randy Jacobson in 1977 when he was a student at Southern Missionary College in Collegedale, Tennessee. He was a talker, who had previously attended Far Eastern Academy in Singapore. During his time there, he honed his skills as a thief stealing equipment from the Academy's athletic department, and lifting things wherever he could.
But this I found out later.
Randy and I set up a business selling sex toys and soft porn articles by mail-order. The business went okay. But after Randy was expelled from the College on grounds of a deviant act, he seemed to need money. And then he was gone.
Randy, also known as Randall Mark Jacobson, had cleaned out our joint account. This was the life of the business. The loss was about $3,000.
Randy was a familiar sight around campus with his pimp-mobile. Once he showed off his latest take the pay telephones from Talge Hall at the campus. He didn't just crack the phones for the money. Oh, no, he pried them off the walls. And then carted the load around in his ride for bragging purposes.
This was a felony. But Randy's philosophy is to steal where he can, and if he doesn't get caught, it must have been a good thing.
Today he works a top secret job. Apparently they have no problems with sharing their secrets with this thief. So more power to him.
I have forgiven him, but would like to warn all: Never trust this man.
