Before it gets away from me, I thought I should tell you about a theft in Fenton. I had returned from voting and noticed that one of the three bicycles that I have parked in the driveway for the summer months was missing. In it's place, lying on the cement was a gazing globe (like you find decorating a garden).
I was shocked at the spectacle. Did someone actually steal a bike? My son wasn't home at the time so I thought he may have taken it for a ride, but that would be a first for that. And that also wouldn't explain the gazing globe. Was there a "Pack-rat thief" at large in Fenton? Another question (or observation) why did they take the worst bike of the three?
Later on I quizzed J-man. He was out running. I wondered if anything else had been taken. It looked to me like everything was where it belonged. I called the police department just to let them know what had happened. I said they didn't have to send anyone up to the house. The lady said there had been some recent things going on. She said it would be a good idea to keep my cars locked.
About a half hour later a police SUV pulled in the drive and I showed the officer the globe. He took it so they could photograph it and put it on line where victims can identify and claim their stolen goods. As I thought about it I think I saw that globe in my neighbor's back yard. Anyway, now the cops have it.
About three hours later, the cop is back with my bike. Someone had left it leaning against Police Headquarters that morning. It made for an interesting day and I interacted with the department.
