Ok, so it is 4:25 am right now and I have already had my goof of the day.
About half an hour ago I heard the sound of a car motor. I live in a fairly isolated area with few neighbors and no through traffic so this is unusual. I looked out of the window and see a car pulling into the yard next door. This property has been vacant for 2 or 3 months now. After considering it for a moment, I decided to call the police.
While I was waiting for the police, I saw three men enter the house and turn on the lights. (I know the lights were never turned off after the last people moved out.) The shadows of these men were moving about the house, going back outside, re-entering, etc... It is pitch black outside so I had no idea what they were up to.
After a few minutes, a police car turned onto our street and stopped in front of my driveway. I stuck my head out of my door, pointed, and went back inside quickly. I then called them back to tell them what I could see because the windows can't be seen from the street. The officer told me the gate was locked. He eventually got in and within a couple of minutes he and three men marched back to the police car. I could see IDs being check and a lot of chatting back and forth. The officer made several trips back into the house and backyard with the "suspects".
I watched as the three men walked backed to the house together. The police car pulled away. My phone rang as this was happening. The officer told me that new people are moving in.
They had just driven straight from Indiana to the house. The wife and kids are a little behind them and should be here soon. The officer told me they are very nice people.
I told him that I would start baking cookies as a peace offering and thanked him for checking it out.
I guess the question is.......After trying to have a new neighbor arrested, do you bake oatmeal or chocolate chip?
Do you think they would like a rooster too?
