Neighborhood Watch wins again

I can't write this any better so here's two recent emails from one of our neighbors today...

1st - I just made my first call to the dispatch for LQPD. I was walking the dog this morning, and came around the corner on Deerbrook and there was a 20’s something guy standing with the passenger door open to a silver Mustang. He had a black t-shirt, black sweatpants, and a backward black ball cap on his head. I said “good morning” and he replied. As I kept walking, I crossed Bayberry to head to the little park with my dog. However, my shoe was untied, so I stopped and looked backwards, and he wasn’t there, but the car was still parked there. I just didn’t feel right about the whole situation, so I turned around and came back home. I stopped in my driveway and pulled out my phone, and sure enough, he came around the opposite corner, (looking VERY suspicious). In the meantime, there was another car stopped at the stop sign at Bayberry and Coldbrook just sitting there (I’m thinking a drug buy at this point) because his tail lights were lit. The guy sees me in the driveway with my dog, and then starts to jog away. I call the dispatch and report everything. Five minutes later, I got in my car and drive down the street, and the car is still there, so I turn onto an opposite side street, and I see him walking. I turn around and go back to the car, call the dispatch again and give them the license plate.
At this point, I can only hope something will be done about it. Just wanted you to know that I’m looking out for our neighborhood, too. Only worry I have now is that the kid saw me in front of my home, and may realize that I’m the one who called the cops on him. So, wanted you to know what’s going on so you can keep your eyes out, as well.
Thanks for always having our neighborhood safety a top priority!

2nd - Just wanted to give you an update on my little excitement this morning. When I left to go to work, I drove to Deerbrook to see if the Mustang was still there. Yes, indeed it was, however, there was a tow truck and a cop car. I pulled up and spoke to the officer. He said another officer had taken the suspect in for questioning, and had found stolen goods. I told him I was a bit concerned since this guy knew where I lived and probably could figure out that I called. He told me to just call 911 if I had any concerns. So, that’s my good deed for the day!!

In closing, my award of two gold stars for our neighbor who had the LQPD non-emergency phone number programmed into their cellphone. In closing, the officer told our neighbor that they had done the smart thing by phoning when they suspected something because you never know what's going on and the police department is their for us. Neighborhood watch won again
