I have wanted to thank someone but until now have not had a vehicle to do so.
We are senior citizens. One evening last year my wife and I went grocery shopping. We got home and I emptied the hatchback of groceries. Later in the evening we went to bed. In the middle of the night I got up in my underwear for some reason. As I stepped into the kitchen there was a police officer standing in my front door entrance.
I had left the attached garage door open, the hatchback of the car open, and the front door open. Apparently one of the neighbors had called the police (Whom I need to thank, but I don’t know who that was).
I have to admire the courage of this officer doing the welfare check. Entering a dark house in the middle of the night. Who knows what kind of deranged individual he might encounter. (I think I certainly qualified in my underwear and still mostly asleep). I would like to thank the police for their courage to do this and will try to keep my stuff together so that it doesn’t happen again.
