So last night, I hear all this rumbling, someone was thoroughly trashing an apartment, looking for something. (Not my apartment) but one, that was one floor up and next building.
The two thieves worked out a system, one is the thief, and the other, the lookout. Every few minutes, the thief would whistle, and there would be a reply whistle from the lookout, to see if someone was watching or coming by. I (baseball bat in hand) shined a flashlight, in which I heard the " get the )*(@#!* out of there!!" whistle from the lookout, and heard rumbling and scrambling. I had called the police as this was happening, and they said we'll send a unit out.
This is where it gets seriously lame..
So I'm shining my flashlight, seeing if I can catch a glimpse of the thief as he's running on the rooftops; and about (10 minutes) later, the cops show up and start shining their flashlights. He shines it at me, and just stares.
I yell out, I'm the one who called!! He replied, I see nobody on the roof (probably because of the 10 minute lapse between when I called and when they showed up!!) and he stood there, shined his flashlight for about 10 seconds, and then left. The thief goes through the patio, and almost every patio is caged; there is a small escape window, and the cop didn't even bother to look for the obvious, which escape window was open. The most common gumshoe work elludes them greatly.. :banghead:
When I talk to them, I cover my ears; because if I don't, I feel my IQ oozing out of my ears.. :banghead:
