Holy Thursday and soon it will be Good Friday! I had a plentiful lunch today at Annie's. When I returned there was a sudden presence of police cars zooming back and forth through the neighborhood. Seems that someone had robbed a store in the shopping center and made his getaway by walking up to our neighborhood and disappearing into the area. They had police dogs that appeared to locate a track through a neighbor's back yard. Everyone was cautioned to stay inside and await information.

The police came and went, and that was all we heard. I looked on the Internet where there is a crime map on display. It shows the designated area and flags of where criminal activity has taken place. In our immediate area there has been a vandalizing of a vehicle and a breaking/entering of a home over the past two weeks. This robbery is the third such event in the nearby area.

While I was looking at the crime map data, I saw a side story of a crook who tried to rob a bank, but his note was so illegible the teller couldn't read it. She had to excuse herself and ask her manager what it said. Meanwhile, the wacky robber took off and was arrested as he was trying to get away. Good penmanship makes more effective criminals!

Getting late! I'm sort of drowsy--I didn't get a green tea latte today (but drank an energy drink that contains some caffeine). Did my laundry while we were on lock down today--so crime does pay in some odd ways!
