It seems only fitting that with my deep abiding love of COPS, that I now live across the street from a never-ending episode, COPS: SOUTH SIDE KC! But you need to say it, “KayCEEE!” take it up at the end.
So.
The Crazy Cat Lady disappeared last week. The po-lice were out and about, and they even knocked on our door, but we hadn’t seen her in a few days. Usually there’s an ambulance there mmmm, once a week, and if not an ambulance, then a cop car. There have been “disturbances”. And now her daughter (whoa, I had no idea CCL had a child) was looking for her mom, and was quite concerned.
It seemed to have settled down a couple days later – car in the drive, lights on, etc. I figured we were back to the usual.
NOT TONIGHT!
As I drove down the street, I espied not one, but TWO police cars, and as I got closer, I saw CCL stomping across a neighbor’s yard, and the po-po had a DUDE in HANDCUFFS. I did what any concerned citizen would do: parked in the driveway and called James.
“James! Crazy Cat Lady has a dude getting arrested! They have him in handcuffs and everything!”
James came to the door, phone to his ear, and looked down the street. He observed, ‘Yeah, they’re frisking him right now.”
“YES. And I’ve never seen him before. He looks quite nefarious.”
I’m never going to be a narrator for COPS. Sigh. However, I do hope to learn more about the “incident”, whether CCL lurches over here herself (and yes, I am that nosy, I’ll even take that doorbell) or if I have to deduce it from my favorite website, CrimeReports.com, where I have set up my account to email me weekly all nefarious activity in a 3/4 mile radius of our home. Because I can.
OMG – I’m totally addicted to CrimeReports.com now. I had no idea!
I am so signing up for that. Thanks for the tip. I’ll be even happier if the subject line is “Nefarious Activity in your area”. Hee!
D’oh! MFers don’t provide the data for my area. I had to submit a cheesy request that they do.
you must share with us the nefarious activity that happened once it does come to light! love the two commentator play-by-play.
crime reports? cool… gonna have to check that out.
