Block Watch Update

Block Watch Update

Last we heard, Mr. B was going to get out of jail at the end of February. Who is Mr. B? He's the gentleman who knocked over our tree last May. You can read about it here, if you forgot. Hopefully he'll get on someone's payroll soon & start paying restitution.

This person's identity and whereabouts are still unknown. Her shoulder, elbow and foot left a negative impression on our garage door while trying to allude a police officer (moments after Mr. B. squished the tree). As soon as we find out who she is she'll be getting a bill for a new garage door.

Tonight we had to call 911 to report that the kids up the street were laying themselves across the road. No, not in the ditch.
Across the road.
Four of them... end to end... from one side of the road to the other.
At night.
In the dark.
Wearing dark clothing.
When a car would come down the road they would wait until it was less than two houses away before they would sit up.
This is probably a combination of natural selection in action and an attempt to win a 2010 Darwin Award. At least they weren't doing this.
A short while later a police officer stopped by to get more info about what we witnessed before proceeding up the street to lecture the carefree youth (who were still outside).

End of the Block Watch report.
