MakeItHappen 15 #1 January 17, 2010 So there I was.... I stopped at KMart to get some dental floss, toothpaste and oven cleaner.... pretty dull eh... I parked the truck, got out and walked across to the store front. All of a sudden an SUV buzzes by me and stops sharply at the curb just past the front of the door. A guy briskly walks out the door - then runs to where the SUV stopped. A clerk runs out and starts yelling "I have your tag number." She then starts repeating the number of the tag out loud. The guy gets into the SUV. It looked like he was carrying two electronic type boxes. The SUV takes off. I doubled checked the number too and tried to figure out what type of SUV it was. I walked inside the store with the clerk. Apparently this guy just walked out of the store with the merchandise and jumped in the SUV and split. I'm convinced that my walk from the parking lot to the front door was right in the way of their planned getaway path. It slowed them down so that the clerk had time to run out and get the tag#. So I came home and cleaned the oven. Actually, I just sprayed the oven tonight and will clean it tomorrow. ..

Good thing the oven only has two beer can chickens crud on it. Pretty clean really. But I don't like any crud on the inside when cooking. I learned how to cook this summer from YouTube vids. ..

JohnMitchell 16 #10 January 18, 2010 Way to help with the bust.Twice I've been helped out by sharp eyed citizens getting a bad guy's plate number. The other day Valinda and I were walking into Safeway. Just ahead of us, some scrawny guy, mid twenties, walks in, grabs two cases of Budweiser off of the giant display they had by the front doors, turns around, and walks right past us back out to the car his friends have waiting at the curb. Damn. Valinda looked at me and said "Not your problem." I guess she knows me pretty well. Hey . . . they make ovens now that clean themselves! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never been a fan of that attitude, that's one of the reasons Western Society has no real community any moreMy wife has said it to me a couple of time, i just reply if not me then who? A scammer in Paris was trying to ripp people off, he tried it on us, and i blew him off, as we crossed the street he was having more sucess with some other tourists, i went back and let them know about him.

JohnMitchell 16 #12 January 18, 2010 I think our women see the downside, the real possibility that any confrontation with a criminal can lead to violence. Where do you draw the line, at a couple of cases of beer, $100, a hit and run driver? I've done my good citizen deeds in the past, and will continue to do so in the future, hopefully intelligently. Valinda just thought that was not the time or place that evening. There were no victims except for a grocery store's inventory shrinkage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IMO, that standby and do nothing attitude sucks. That's what happen a few months ago when that teenager got raped in NorCal. In this particular incident, I just happened to be there when the crime was perpetrated. I did not willfully get myself involved with the path of the SUV. I was just walking from my truck to the door. The SUV came from behind me. My timing was such that the thief was exiting the store at that time. But the getaway driver did avoid hitting me and had to stop further away from the door. I helped in the ID of the SUV/tag#. If I see a scam happening, I'll say something about it. Like that is not obvious. .. Make It Happen Parachute History DiveMaker Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

popsjumper 2 #16 January 18, 2010 So...the clerk got the tag # of a stolen SUV. A good flying drop kick would have solved the problem. Where's Amazon when you need her? My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus. Falcon5232, SCS8170, SCSA353, POPS9398, DS239 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
