I have been lurking yesterday and today.
I had the craziest day Tuesday afternoon.
I am home doing a few things before I pick up the kids for their orthodontic appointments.
The phone rings and it is my next door neighbor. She is calling to ask if i noticed a strange car in the driveway of the house on the other side of her house with 4 men in it. I open my blinds and I don't see the car. It is gone.
We start chit chatting and suddenly she yells....The car is back. The doors of the car are open. Where are the men?!! Where are they? Where are they? Where are they? She then yells, I am calling Rick. Call 911.
She calls Rick (who is a minister at our church) on his cell phone and says, "Rick are you home?" Rick says, "Nope." She yells, "Come home, your getting robbed!" Click! She hangs up.
Meanwhile, I am calling 911. About the time the operator gets on the phone with me, I see 2 of the guys running out to car with an arm load of electronics and they throw them in the backseat and run back in for more. Then the other two guys come out carrying the big screen TV. The car is only a 2 door car. They try to cram the TV in backseat but it won't fit. Then they decide to put it in the trunk, but they can't find their keys to open the trunk. Finally, they find their keys and open the trunk but the trunk won't close with the TV in it. Then the other guys come back out with more stuff. They jump in car and drive off.
I am freaking out as I think that Rick's 90 year old mother in law is in the house. She doesn't drive any more. Thank God she was out of town visiting one of their grandkids that day! No telling what would have happened to her.
As the guys drive off, I am telling 911 that the police can't miss the car as it has a TV hanging out of the trunk.
An off duty police officer who lives out here heard the call on his radio and started over here and located the car and followed it to a nearby nursing home. The guys jump out and dump the TV as it is busted. Then turn around and come back to our neighborhood. The police stopped them at our neighborhood entrance and arrested them! The guys said since the TV was busted, they were coming back to get more stuff!!!
Can you believe that? I am so glad the police caught them.
Yesterday I fielded calls all day from our neighbors about the incident. Geez!!!
FYI - The guys simply kicked the front door in. It was crazy and scary at the same time!!!
I sure like the looks of that!! 
Too much standing around for him I guess. He likes to keep moving, that's why soccer is so great for him! 
Oh my, they are so funny. All I hear is - R2, R4 (who the heck is R4 anyway???
), Luke, Darth Vader, blah blah blah!!! 
She kept count and told Drew all about it when he was getting ready for school.
