MissScripture Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 [quote name='Lil Red' timestamp='1332883772' post='2409341'] oh well, that would have been hard to do as i was chasing him down and yelling at him so i didn't really have time to stop and ask him to pose for a picture.

Lil Red Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 actually, I wasn't really scared at all - adrenaline kicked in and I was mad as hell that someone would try to take my car keys to break into my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil Red Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) okay, so here's what went down: My daughter has a music class on Tuesday mornings. When we pulled in, I noticed a guy walking really slowly past some parked vehicles (the reason I noticed is because one of the vehicles he was walking past was my friend's van). I thought it was weird, but he walked down the alley, and I didn't think more of it. We walk in, get settled, take off our shoes (no shoes in the classroom), I hang up my sweater (with my car keys and sunglasses in the pockets), we walk into the classroom. Fast forward 20 minutes or so, there's a quiet time during class, and I thought I heard my car keys jingle (because of the pope key ring on there, they make a pretty distinctive jingle), then I thought I saw a person's reflection in the window of the door of the classroom. I quietly excuse myself, and I see the guy that was hanging around the vehicles when we pulled in. Weird, right? Alarm bells start ringing in my head. He asks me a question, I pretend to misunderstand. I go to get a drink from the water fountain, and walk by my sweater - that no longer has my keys in the pocket. He's near the door, and I yell "Hey" and he starts running out the door. I chase after him, and I'm yelling the entire way. I start yelling that he'd better drop my car keys. He throws them behind him, towards my direction. I swiftly pick them up, keep running after him a bit, yelling that he'd better keep running because I'm calling the cops. I stop chasing him at that point because he's running down the alley and I have no shoes on. Go back inside, everyone is by the door. The teacher tells me they've been having things stolen from the entry way and this is probably the guy - who probably saw my keys and thought he'd steal stuff out of my purse in the car (though it would have been made more difficult because my car clicker is broken ). I call the non-emergency number for the police dispatch, they come pretty quickly (2 minutes tops) and one takes my statement while the other drives down the alley. (No, they didn't catch him.) Lessons learned: --I have no "flight" response. --The Pope tipped me off that something was going down. --I am sure that Our Lady protected me - St. Michael too (but of course, he's always got my back since he knows my big mouth keeps getting me in trouble) - because I wasn't even thinking that he might have a weapon or something. Like I said, I was just mad (my morning hadn't gone so well already), and I didn't want this guy to make it worse. --Part of my rosary last night was for this man, that he might find another way to make a living.
