You all know I usually post stories of me helping out people being robbed, beaten, etc... well, here's another, but this time, they got me...
My wife was out with one of her girlfriends last night, and I had just happened to look out my window - I saw two guys trying to break into a car. I could tell they had no idea whatsoever what they were doing though. They couldn't get into it, so they started casing other cars. I called 911 (yeah, it's a joke in my town) and they said that they'd send officers over. they tried to hit several cars, and I just sat and watched from my window, contemplating whether or not I should go after them. about 30 mins later, my wife called saying she was at the front gate - I told her not to come home, and told her what was going on - I didn't want them to see her and try anything, for whatever reason they felt they might have. She insisted on coming home, saying she'd feel safer in the house with me. I told her to come to the parking lot, but not to get out of the car until I got to her, and she agreed.
As I was going downstairs, she was pulling into the parking lot - the two guys were standing in the middle of the street looking at her in the car, not moving. after about 2 seconds, she maneuvered the car around them and found a place to park. When I came out of the breezeway, they saw me went to the side of the building, like they'd left. I thought nothing else of them and walked my wife upstairs.
about 30 mins after that, we heard an alarm go off - it was the car right next to mine. We guessed that they had tried to break into it and ran when the alarm went off. That was about the time that the cops showed up (over an hour after we called them) they circled the complex, then I received a phone call from the 911 dispatcher saying the cops wanted to talk to me. I went downstairs and proceeded to start cursing.... turns out that the car next to mine had a sensitive alarm - it went off when the two *******s busted my windows out. I can tell it took some effort - the rocks they used actually cracked in half, and they still couldn't break all the glass, but enough damage was done. I did a police report and told them that what I bet happened was that the punks figured my wife had gotten a good look at them and could ID them, so they wanted to scare her.... after the cops left, my suspicion was confirmed - I was taping the windows up, when I noticed a piece of paper in the floor of the back seat. It read:
"b!tch, next time don't look so hard!!!
- black marvin and tony red"
wtf?!??! I got a good look at them, and she did too - she's familiar with one of their faces really well, as he tried to flirt with her one day she was getting food from the fast food place he works (used to work?) at. LOL, even though she's cute and petite, she grew up in the hood, so that didn't scare her at all - all they succeeded in doing was p!ssing me off, and they did that very well. Someone tried to break in to another car in our lot two days ago - probably these same idiots, so I'm sure they'll be back. Plus, they may have more of their "scare tactics" for my wife - I'm gonna be watching though, as are several friends of mine.... If they come back, for their sake, I hope they believe in a higher being that is capable of saving them.
In the meantime, I'm gonna take the note to the precinct - it should have some prints on it, and maybe they've got a record
