Good Citizen
4 AM Sunday morning I’m awoken by my wife. She didn’t try to wake me up, but when something’s not right I usually wake up. This morning, the something was her staring out the window, cordless phone in hand. She’s dialing the phone. 4 AM? What the hell? Someone had broken into a car across the way and was rifling through it. I didn’t see the guy at first, but as my wife was describing him the best she could at 100 yards, he exited the SUV and stood by the wall, seemingly admiring his haul. I thought he would begin walking away, but he stood there until the cop car whipped into the drive a policewoman jumped out and yelled, “Hey!” at the guy. I could see her walk him over to just out of sight where what I could see told me that she was taking him down. He must have had a metal bar or pole that was dropped and clanged on the ground. After that it was kind of boring - I just would have liked to actually seen the takedown.
