Update: the Business owner that used his air tag to find out where his stolen items went while leading the police to a Criminal Crime spree….continues with 2 more arrested
LAKE OF THE OZARKS, Mo. –
So like all stories depicting the Lake of the Ozarks these days there seems to be more to this story than was first reported. The next day a condo owner had heard about the incident and noticed some fluctuations on his thermostat. He called the the condo handyman to see if he could check on the place. After further investigation there were 2 more people that were with this group squatting in the condo. The police were called and made the arrests.
The condo owner credits the digital read out readouts that his thermostat gives him . They assumed (hoped) it was building management checking the thermostat or water. He walked in on two individuals in the unit, called the police and they were, too, arrested. Simple tech (smart control on the thermostat) caught these two as well.
Digital thermostats are the in-thing when discussing must-have home appliances and devices. Many homes are switching from analog thermostats to digital thermostats because of their multiple benefits.
A digital thermostat, first and foremost, offers convenience and comfort around the home. Digital thermostats can automatically control a home or office’s temperature for an entire day simply by mere seconds of programming. No longer will a home run the same temperature all day until someone manually adjusts the thermostat. Your home can be 75 degrees early in the morning, 72 by mid-afternoon and again back to 75 later that evening. With warmer temperatures creeping in, this can be a great advantage.
Previous Story:
A suspect is in jail and the stolen items recovered after a local lake business owner uses technology to find his missing Polaris side by side. “I got home from work and noticed my Polaris side by side was missing from the driveway. I pulled up my phone and did a find my friends on it. Boom” After finding out where the missing Polaris was, “I drove to the location and found a box van / uhaul there and my phone was saying it was at the same location as my Polaris. I called the police and they came and retrieved my Polaris from the uhaul truck and found the guy who stole it.
The suspect was arrested and taken away. It was all made possible by using apple air tags. They are about the size of a quarter and can be hidden in anything you own.” The police said the uhaul and red truck were stolen out of Kansas City and I was “lucky” to have busted up this little ring of bad guys.
AirTag sends out a secure Bluetooth signal that can be detected by nearby devices in the Find My network. These devices send the location of your AirTag to iCloud — then you can go to the Find My app and see it on a map. The whole process is anonymous and encrypted to protect your privacy. And itʼs efficient, so thereʼs no need to worry about battery life or data usage. AirTag are a supereasy way to keep track of your stuff. Attach one to your keys, slip another in your backpack.

Missouri Cattle Market Faces Unprecedented Challenges Amid Lowest Inventory in Decades
In recent months, the Missouri cattle market has been navigating through turbulent waters, marked by the lowest cattle inventory seen since 1951. This stark reduction in herd numbers is reflective of a broader trend sweeping across the United States, where farmers and ranchers are either scaling down their operations or exiting the industry altogether due to escalating costs and persistent drought conditions.
The crux of the issue lies in the soaring costs associated with cattle farming. Feed prices have skyrocketed, with drought conditions in many parts of Missouri reducing the availability of natural forage. This has forced farmers to buy more expensive feed, significantly cutting into profits. The sentiment from the field, as echoed through various posts on X, indicates a weary community of cattle producers. “Old guys are tired, and young guys don’t have the capital,” shared one local farmer, highlighting the generational challenge in maintaining herd sizes.
Despite the reduced supply, demand for beef remains robust, pushing prices higher. Consumers in Missouri are feeling the pinch at grocery stores and local butchers, where the cost of beef has seen noticeable increases. However, there’s a silver lining for those looking for quality at possibly better rates. Bulk purchasing directly from local butchers or participating in community-supported agriculture (CSA) models has become more popular. For instance, a recent post celebrated splitting a cow for $4 per pound, a slight increase from previous years but still seen as a way to support local farmers while securing quality meat.
Looking ahead, the Missouri cattle market’s future seems to hinge on several factors. The industry might see a shift towards more sustainable practices, like regenerative agriculture which aims to restore soil health and biodiversity, potentially making cattle farming more resilient to climate changes. However, immediate relief in terms of herd size recovery might be slow unless there are significant changes in feed costs or an unexpected surplus in forage.
There’s a growing call for government intervention or subsidies to help stabilize the industry. Discussions around water management, drought-resistant crops for cattle feed, and financial support mechanisms are gaining traction. Meanwhile, industry leaders are exploring technological advancements like feed efficiency enhancements and genetic selection for resilience against environmental stress.

Super Cat Fest LOTO 2024: A Blend of Luxury, Speed, and Charity
Lake of the Ozarks, MO – The 2024 edition of Super Cat Fest at Lake of the Ozarks (LOTO) concluded with a roar of engines and a wave of philanthropy, showcasing not only some of the world’s most luxurious high-performance boats but also a commitment to community welfare. This year’s event, held from August 20th to 25th, was a spectacle of speed, luxury, and generosity, with a particular focus on raising funds for local charities.
Super Cat Fest has become synonymous with high-end marine displays, featuring brands like Skater, DCB, and MTI (Marine Technology Inc.). These boats, often likened to the supercars of the water, draw enthusiasts and spectators from across the globe. The event’s docks were lined with these marvels of engineering, each vessel a testament to innovation, design, and sheer power, with price tags that can easily soar into the millions.
However, beyond the allure of these high-performance catamarans, Super Cat Fest LOTO has carved out a reputation for its charitable endeavors.
The charity auction, a highlight of the event, featured exclusive boat rides, memorabilia, and even a chance to win a day out with one of the boat owners. The funds collected are earmarked for supporting educational programs, sports facilities, and community initiatives for children in the Lake of the Ozarks area, aiming to provide opportunities that foster growth and development.
River Dave Johnson, a key figure in organizing Super Cat Fest West, which shares the spirit of LOTO but occurs in Lake Havasu, Arizona, commented on the event’s dual focus. “Super Cat Fest isn’t just about showcasing the pinnacle of boating technology; it’s about giving back to the community that supports us. We’re thrilled to see the community come together in such a generous way,” Johnson stated during an interview.
The event also included various activities like a fun run, pool parties, and personal photo/video shoots, which not only added to the festive atmosphere but also subtly promoted the charitable cause. Participants and spectators were seen engaging actively in these activities, embodying the spirit of giving back while enjoying the high-octane displays.
Super Cat Fest LOTO 2024 has once again demonstrated that luxury and philanthropy can coexist, setting a benchmark for how high-profile events can contribute positively to their communities. With each passing year, the fest grows not just in its display of high-end boats but also in its heart for charity, making it a unique event in the world of boating and beyond.
