I live in an OK neighborhood - it's in between a really nice neighborhood and a really bad one.
I get foot traffic ALL the time down my street. People steal shit from the nice neighborhood and walk it through mine to their neighborhood.
My lawn mower got stolen along with my mom's and my neighbor's all in one week. I'm fucking pissed.
Tonight I was up doing some things. It was 1am, and I see a guy riding his bike with something on his back and a lawn mower behind him. He was hauling ass. Well I pop up, yell at my brother to hop in the car with me (he's visiting for a few days) and we get in my car and follow this guy.
I caught up with him and I ask "Hey is that your lawn mower?" and he said "No." And then he pulled a knife out so I pulled away from him in my car. At that point, he gets off the bike and starts walking towards my car with the lawn mower and the thing still on his back. I tell my brother to call the cops. The dispatcher says she'll send some one out. In my town that means they'll come out when they feel like it.
So this guy eventually stops following me, and he turns and starts walking towards the really bad neighborhood so I follow him. I want to keep track of him for when the cops come. Well he starts cutting through bushes and empty lots. I was in my 4Runner so I was tempted to follow him, but I didn't know what was on the other side of the bushes.
Finally the guy seems to get to his house. So I go to turn around - I pass it up, then I turn around at the end of his street and I drive back by to make sure he's still there. As I drive by I see he had two bricks in his hand and he threw them at my car (and he was only like three feet away).
We call the cops again and this time I tell them he has a knife, and now he's throwing bricks at my car can they hurry the hell up? And I tell them where we are.
The cops get there, they lecture me on following the guy. They said people have done the same thing I did, only to get beaten to death by a hammer or shot by the neighbor. The cop said if I want a job, they're hiring but that I need to not ever do this again.
Another cop shows up, and I know him from past occurences in my neighborhood - Corporeal McNair. He's cute
And he was like "Miss W, you don't know who you're dealing with. He killed a guy in 94."
So yeah let's just say I'm scared. Lesson learned. It just pisses me off that people think that for some reason I can afford a new lawn mower when all they do is steal them!!
My car also now has a hole in it he threw the brick so hard....Can you imagine if he had thrown that in my window? Or had a gun at his house? He had already pulled the knife on me...
