Keeping a watchful EYE!* I caught the theif!


Keeping a Watchful EYE!
Happy Wednesday to all, it's sure a good feeling when you pay attention and don't let a thief get away.
As you may or may not know, last week my new car that I just bought about 2 weeks ago, paid cash for, had the windows all nicely tinted to protect my sun damaged skin etc. was burglarized! About 10:30 p.m. I received a call from Gilbert P.D. asking me if I had "Lost" my laptop? Weird as I was walking around from a dead sleep, I walked outside to my car (don't know why I didn't part it in the garage!) and sure enough my rear driver side window had been busted in and my laptop in a black case that was on the floor at the time waiting for me to get it into Staples or Geek squad or someone to get some repairs done, was GONE!
I was Pissed to say the least! No need to steal a ill working Lap Top and bust up my new car!
Anyway,
Seems about 2 streets over a man walked out into his garage and found someone in there and a chase ensued and that thief got away, BUT seems the police found my laptop and 2 back packs in the bushes by our community pool :~) ... Now they didn't get the thief, but I did get my Lap Top back and I was simply amazed as this is totally "Unheard of" to say the least.

2 weeks ago my sons bike was stolen from the garage (that's the 4Th on stolen!) So, I had my window replaced, that took 1 day, and then had the tinting re-done and that was another day, so needless to say I lost 2 days of work etc. do to a punk thief! BUT here is where it gets good.

After I went back to bed the night of the robbery, about 1 hour later my business office phone line rang! It never rings at night so I got up to investigate. No message left, so I hit *69 and got a local phone number, I called it thinking it (might) be on of my merchants with a problem. The line was busy, so I tried calling it from a different phone number that I have. Bingo, he answered. I asked who he was etc. he asked who I was etc. I told him he called me, little silence and then I asked him "So, how's it going tonight busting cars up and stealing" he didn't reply with anything that I dare type here, but he asked me to "Suck his D***" and hung up! You'd have to have heard it because it was so obvious that he was 'BUSTED' big time. AND THEN.... wait it gets better....
He CALLED me BACK on that first business phone line after he hung up on me. I didn't answer it, and this time he left a message! Is this guy too stupid or what! He left a very coded message as if he was talking to one of his accomplices or look out thief friends. Of course I saved the message.
The police came back and while I appreciate local P.D. not the brightest bulbs. I mean really, I had the phone number that the call was made from, I had a voice message too! The police officer did tell me though that the items inside those back packs that were found with my laptop contained Wallie Talkies and various tools used to burglarize homes and autos. WOW....

Ain't blogging great! This is the way I get to enjoy my writing lack of skills but full of passions as they prompt my mind.

Now fast forward to yesterday February 17Th about 5 p.m. afternoon. I sit at my front window all day and a lot of nights working and enjoying my business of Credit Card Processing and KangenWaterMagic.com business, and recently have gotten hooked to twitter and ALL the fabulous things that it encompasses. When I noticed a very thin ugly bearded man walking past very swiftly, and his head glancing quickly at my home etc. His dress was all I needed to know it was one if not the one, Thief that have been working out neighborhood. Baggy stupid pants, Over sized sweater etc. You get the picture.
I struggled to find my car keys, did, and hopped in the car and had to drive 1/2 mile that's how fast he was walking but I spotted him by that community pool. I drove past and got a good look at him. Well he started walking down the same street that was mentioned before and found a stranger in the garage and that's when I had absolutely NO doubt it was him. By this time he realized I was on my cell phone (talking to P.D. trying to explain to the dispatch that this was our guy gurrrrrrr ask me the same question 4 times!) anyway, the thief started walking all over the place, he didn't know what to do, he headed toward one of the artery roads that leads out to a major street and I cautiously followed keeping a very good distance between he and I just in case. He tood off down major street, buy now I finally had the attention of the dispatch guy that I wasn't going to listen to his repeated questions I was on the trail of a criminal! (Nancy Drew at work!)
Then the thief decided he had no idea where he was or going or maybe going to miss his partners connection, but he came BACK! Now he walks almost within 30 ft of me and really gave me "That" Look, and he was talking to himself and now he was pissed. He was walking all over the place, crossing from north side to south side, didn't know what too do it was obvious. By this time he walked back in front of my home and my son (the man child) was outside on his skateboard and I was starting to get worried of the 'possibilities' that a crazed mind might do.
The whole time I was on the phone with police dispatch and was at least 100 yards away and just reporting all the move this jerk was making. Including now he took off his sweater and had a different colored shirt underneath. Dispatch told me that the area had units there, but I sure didn't see them. Then he finally told me they were unmarked detectives! Thank GOD. I went back to the house and shut my garage door. With in about 3 minutes one of the detectives came by and we chatted as I updated him on how this whole thing unfolded from start to finish.
They arrested Jerk Thief on Grand Theft burglary and possession of stolen property! Woo Hoo!

In closing the Detective asked me "How did I know? What made me think it was the robber?" Very simple, the fact that this guy didn't belong in my neighborhood, I watch everything that moves outside my window pretty much 7 days a week, and because as a WOMEN, I listen to my intuition and as of 53 years now, I've NEVER been wrong so I assume I would be now. I listen to that still small voice at level 3-4 of consciousness and I am blessed to be able to take it for all it's worth. There used to be a time when I didn't, and still sometimes I may not heed the prompting, just like last week when I said to myself "hum I should park my car in the garage" but I was tired, lazy or whatever or better yet, I "Assumed" that something like that wouldn't happen in my neighborhood or to me.

Have a Waterful day as you "GIVE a GREAT day, I promise you will have a GOOD day in return"
