whatcha gonna do when they come for you...(COPS theme song)
Herein lies Part Two of my blog titled "rage against the machine:"
My phone rings and it's Detective Higginbothem with Ceres PD. He's calling me as they raid the house of the suspected auto burglars! They're in the house and found a boatload of giftcards. While he gives me a rundown of the names of the cards he's finding, my pulse quickens like I've got his back with my gun drawn as if the theives were going to walk in on "us" any moment. Some of the cards could be mine -- all very common gift cards like Target, Macy's, etc... But when he says Tiffany's Jewelry--I say "that's the guys." And in my head I say "book 'em."
Come to find out, my instincts were dead on. They arrested the two people I saw lurking in the parking lot before I went in. I went down to the station and i.d.'d them via a photo line up and "my partner" Aunty Joyce got the proof that the Tiffany's card was mine (she bought it).
My priceless belongings are at the bottom a dumpster somewhere in the Central Valley and I won't get anything back but my Tiffany's card since that's the only one I can prove is mine.
The best part about this whole event is that I can answer Jaelen's weekly question: "Moma, did the police catch the bad guys and put 'em jail?" -- YES!
Now, he's just stumped on why I didn't get my red purse back then?
The saga continues...
