Im a good citizen!

Today we were at the mall getting our new phones.
As we were getting into our car, we heard a loud crash. We thought that someone got in an accident. As we were pulling around the corner, we saw a guy slam a car door and run toward an old truck and get in and speed away. It took a few seconds to put the whole scene together...

Big loud crash
+
glass on the ground
+
creepy guy running away...

OH MY GOODNESS...
that guy just broke into that car.

So the adrenaline kicked in and I yelled at Jared
(who was sitting next to me)
"get the licence plate number"

and so the chase began. Jared (with a rush of adrenaline ) took off, followed the old truck and began dialing 911.

Funny side note, the truck was from Utah.

We followed the truck for about 5 miles before loosing them, I think they knew we were following them cause they cut off quickly to get on the freeway. But it was good because we were able to tell the cops what direction they were going and I was a little scared that they were gonna "bust a cap" on us.
(I know the lingo now that I am a good citizen.)

Long story made shorter:
The PD (that's what we call it, cause we are good citizens) called later and said they would be in touch. Jared asked if they caught them and the police officer said that they think so, which Jared says means yes, they are just innocent till proven guilty, so the cop couldn't say yes.
(he knows that now cause he is a good citizen.)

We also found out that the getaway truck was stolen, which makes sense because there is no way that someone from Utah would do this. *wink*

So as Jared said on Facebook, we will sleep good tonight, knowing that those creeps will be sleeping in a jail cell.

I still have adrenaline pumping through my veins.
What a rush.

Good job! I wonder if my cop friend responded to the call. That would give me quite a rush too.

Except your in Eugene. They don't put property criminals in jail. There isn't enough room.

So, they are out on the loose looking for the creeps who turned them in. :)
