To the Rescue!!!!

So yesterday was a bit of an interesting day to say the least. 

After I got home with the kids yesterday, Brant wasn't feeling good and so both kids were napping and I was able to just spend some time with myself and do my own thing.  All of a sudden I hear the neighbors dogs barking.  They usually only bark when a dog is running down the alley, if a person is walking down the alley or of course squirrels.

I consider myself to be a nosey person when it comes to my neighborhood.

So me being nosey, I peak out the back to see what the dogs were barking at and I glanced towards the house to the south of us and I saw the back leg of a man go into the foreclosure house.

I freaked out and didn't know if it was an emergency or not so I called the non-emergency number.  I told them what I saw and they said they would send the cops over.  So after pacing from front door to back door for about 10 mins and talking to Darren bc I was scared, the dispatch calls back and asks my address again bc they couldn't find it.  They of course had the wrong address and so here I am pacing still to see if I see anyone leave the house and still talking to Darren.  ( I was giving him a play by play during the whole thing)

So finally the cops show up and we end up with 3 cops out front and one hiding in the alley in case they run out the back.  So I can't see anything really bc our house is lined up with this house so all I can see are the cops and I can hear noises and yelling and pounding. 

This whole thing lasted about an hour to two hours I think.

So what happened in the end was, they pounded on the door and a girl was in there and they told her to open the door but she couldn't and so they busted down the door with their guns and found a girl and a guy.  They think they were trying to steal copper from the unoccupied house.  They handcuffed the two people and put them in the cars and searched the house and took pictures of everything.  They came and asked me for my statement since I was the one who called them and they asked a lady across the street too bc she is nosey too!  hehe  She had seen other stuff before and had called the cops but they never did anything.

Anyway, so for me this whole situation was scary and a huge adrenaline rush.  However, I know I watch too much tv because I asked the cop if I should be worried about them coming after me since I called on them.  They said to call them if ppl come banging on our door otherwise we should be fine.  I think we may be looking into a security system here soon.

So the cops stayed and scoped things out for the rest of the evening and now today is back to normal. 

So crazy!
