So, this past weekend Jerry and I worked outside in our yard both days. We rebuilt our flower beds out front with those decorative stones that Lowes/HomeDepot sells. Well, anyway, that's not the point of this. I guess I shared that because my arms are sore and I need some sympathy. We got alot of fresh air and sunshine, which I loved.
Anyways, the point to this thread......
I had gone downstairs to do some laundry, when I hear Jerry yell in the sidedoor my name. I could tell from the tone of his voice and that he yelled Susan that he meant business. Usually he yells Hon, and more softly......so I run to the bottom of the steps to look up at him, and he tells me to lock all the doors. I go upstairs and ask him what he's talking about. I guess the police were on our street, going through all the back yards, including ours, looking for a guy in a red jacket. Not sure what he was wanted for. So, I ran around the house locking all the doors. I was beautiful out, so everything was open. I think they found him hiding behind our neighbors garage 2 house down.
That type of thing is a rare occurance at our house, but still, it gives you the heebeejeebees.
About 10 years or maybe 15 now, in my Mom's neighborhood, a guy came in and shot his exwife in the head, killing her at the nearby McDonalds. What a tradedy. She was pregnant with twins. The police scoured our neighborhood, and warned everyone to keep thier doors locked, etc. He had taken off on foot. About 4 days later, an elderly couple found him in their downstairs pantry, hiding and very scared. The wife called the police and the kid went willingly. As a matter of fact, the wife made him a sandwich while they waited. (didn't take very long for the police to get there though)
The husband even talked the guy into giving him the gun........
What is this world coming too.........have you all had any scares in your neighborhood?
