We'll second that one! Our Monday morning crime doubleheader:
On Monday morning at 2:45 a.m. we had a string of Black Cats go off in our mail
slot. After levitating in bed, (Dave is deaf) I went downstairs to the
sickening stench of gunpowder permeating our foyer and living room. We called
911 and an officer came out. He said we were probably "chosen" because we had
our porchlight on and the mailslot was easy to see.
He suggested we NOT leave on our light all night. I am pretty sure that this
was from the same police department that asked everyone to leave their lights
ON for neighborhood safety. Very confusing.
HOWEVER: while Dave and I were discussing the fireworks in our darkened
kitchen, we witnessed two thugs breaking into a neighbor's car to steal her
Sirius radio system. Another 911 call, and the cops were there in a flash and
apprehended the culprits after a brief chase and canine assist. Bravo.
Sadly, we feel like we should have 911 on speed dial for the Fourth of July.
Grrrrr.
