i recently called the non emergency line. it was about 1 am, i walked out to have a smoke, and noticed a wreath on my front porch. i thought WTF then noticed one of my pumpkins was missing. then i looked up a noticed a couple of kids running down the road from a neighbor's place.
drunk, i decided that these no good pumpkin thieves deserved to be prosecuted for their pumpkin and wreath theft. called the non emergency line and told them what happened and where they ran off to. hung up the phone and 30 seconds later a cop car slowed down and circled back around the intersection where i described them to be. they passed by after making a loop on the road they probably went down a few minutes later.
i put out my smoke and went in, totally tripped out about what had just happened.
