Police Visit~

Tonight was an interesting night for sure. Like every other day, Chris and I worked late which caused for a late start with a run to Lowe's for rock to finish filling up the retaining wall. We had enough Sat. to have the fountain set up while we had the help but was nervous to leave it without it being done. Chris learned very quickly that it was a pain to shovel the rock all out of the truck then wheelbarrowing it up to location on Sat. So this is what brought us to Lowe's, to buy the rock via bag. Chris being the hard worker that he is continued to work after dark. He put a head lamp on and continued pulling the bags of rock out of the trunk of the car which was parked in our garage. After Chris finished up around 10:30, he came in and showered getting ready for bed. Sat down for dinner just in time for a really loud knock or shall I say pounding on our front door! I seriously thought that we were going to get robbed or something bad happened. Chris was just as nervous to approach the door, so he put some approachable clothing on while responding to the 2nd or 3rd pounding through our intercom system asking who it was. They responding saying the Police Department but it was said so fast that we did not catch it so Chris asked again and it was more clear! Only we were still unsure of what was going on so we looked through our blinds to be sure it really was the police! Sure enough there were 4 cop cars pulled in front of our home. We opened the door and they wanted verification of who we were and if we owned this home! Afterwords they told us that someone called in thinking that we were being robbed! That they were seeing someone with a head lamp entering and exiting our garage while no lights were on! Ha, what a relief! One, our garage was still open with the coincidence that a bolt or screw came loose which was preventing the door to fully close. Two, our front porch light was burned out. And Three, we have dark wooden blinds so looking from the outside in, you really can't tell that all the lights are on inside the house! We laughed it off and quickly received several text messages from neighbors worried about us and asked if everything was okay since we were bombarded with cop cars! Chris did say that he noticed someone who walked by but he thought he walked out of the neighborhood not knowing who it was. We have yet to discover who called it in but it had to have been someone who did not know us since we have been working on our yard for the last month and our neighbors know our crazy long work schedule causing later nights! One thing I learned tonight is that we live in a very good neighborhood that looks after us!
