Calling 911 is never a fun experience
So Monday afternoon I was on a walk in Jim's neighborhood in Magnolia by myself. I knew I needed to get 40 minutes in so I just simply headed down the street all the way to the end and headed back all the way to the other end to end up back at his place. On the way home, about ten minutes from my destination, I saw this young kid trying to break into someone front window. He looked about 12-14 or a small 15 year old, kind of sk8terish (yes I just did the sk8 thing), with a yellow beanie, blonde hair coming out and a black shirt and jeans. I totally paid attention. So I made a little noise with my feet (I was on the other side of the street) and he turned and looked and immediately stopped what he was doing and walked away in a hurry. Then I kept walking to where I could see him but he couldn't see me. He went back to the window. Then someone from next door to the house he was maybe or maybe not breaking into came out, a kid, to take the garbage out. The kid immediately jumped into the bushes and hid and kept a watch out until the kid went back inside. Meanwhile, I'm contemplating whether or not to call 911. So as I was walking back, after taking notice of the street number, cars parked outside (none), description of the kids, etc. I decided that if it were me and my house had gotten broken into I might want someone to call, even if they were not sure. I mean the kid could have been breaking into his own house for all I know, except he acted so suspiciously. So when I got back to Jim's place I decided to call, better safe than sorry. They put an officer on and I was talking to the operator and the officer at the same time. All I can say is good thing I know where North, East, South, and West are or I would have been confused. They kept me on the phone for a bit and took my info. And that was that. The officer close to our area was on his way right then and there. I don't know what ever became of it but I hope I at least prevented a robbery from taking place and/or provided a very detailed description of the suspect/perp. That's all
