When the phone rings in the middle of the night, it can never be good. Not seeing one of the kids phone numbers was a relief, not one of the grandma's.....but, this can't be good. How about Hawk Security telling me the alarm is going off at the store. Out the door in two minutes for the 16 mile drive...half way there, they call again, Police requesting a key carrier, yes, HELLO! I am on my way, will be there in 10 minutes.
Arrive via Chisholm Pl. and see headlights shining on shattered glass from the side window, can't be good, can it?????? The cop is no where to be seen; but, the CSI lady is waiting for me....I am a smart one, I get my keys out to open the door....."um, we unlocked it from the inside after we went through the window." Well, thank you Callie, oh no you are not wearing a short mini with heels are you?????? Damn, can't a guy catch a break this early in the morning?
Quick Look, One 42" inch Samsung HD TV gone, bunch of glass to clean up, nothing else missing. Her comes the cop, he has been running down the street watching 3 perps who dine and ditched at Denny's, running why, does your parked car whose motor is purring not capable......"any questions." Nope..
Paperwork, they are gone in 5 minutes and I have an early start to my Saturday morning prep after cleaning up glass and sanitizing the table and chairs they used to catapulte themselves onto the top of the pepsi water cooler to take the TV from the "secure bracket".
Did I mention that yet???? A/V guy tells me, "there will be a giant hole in your wall before they get that TV down!" Wanna bet?????? Guess he forgot to secure the TV to the bracket....NICE! Bracket survived well, thank goodness.
Well, all in all, guess it could have been worse, nobody hurt, no additional vandalism, just a new $631 window and a new $1,500 50" TV.
Let's sell some subs to pay for the damage!
Why aren't you at Jersey Mike's Plano!
