The time I tackled a bad guy in the Walmart right inside the front door. I must have looked like I had things under control
because a lot of customers casually walked past me while I was struggling with him; the surveillance recordings showed them
barely giving me a second glance. Welcome to WalMart!
Me, getting called out again to a neighbor dispute where two grown men have taken to tossing random rocks and sticks onto
each other’s property when nobody is looking. While I was out there shaking my head at all the rocks tossed onto this guy’s
driveway, the mad neighbor runs out in his bathrobe and starts yanking out all the surveyor stakes that had just been expensively
marked out by the other neighbor’s survey crew to determine their exact property line. The crazy man is ripping out the markers
literally just feet from me. He believed they were on his property line. “Hey excuse me sir, uh, I’m pretty sure that’s totally illegal
to do that!” I said, kind of too stunned to react. He then ran back inside. One of the few times I was so surprised I just stood
there with my mouth hanging open. The guy was a retired chemist. The older I get, the less I understand people.
Woman called 911 to report she got locked out of her apartment. By her 11 year old daughter. I found an unlocked window and
was able to get inside. Found the 11 year old hiding in her closet. She didn’t want to talk about it. Or anything, really. She was
not really right in the head. And the mom was, of all things, a school teacher. I of course suggested to mom that she hide a spare
key outside somewhere. Did she listen to me? Nope. What do you think happened again a couple months later?
Idiot burglar decides to break into a business in the middle of the night. Realizing it had a monitored alarm system, he called
the alarm company’s main number and said he was the owner of the business and forgot his code so if the alarm goes off, no
need to call the police okay? Nice try but totally didn’t work. The alarm company called the police. He went off to prison.
