INTERESTING.... BLOG FODDER!

As I mentioned yesterday, something really interesting happened when Steve and I went over to Lacy's old house to do the final clean, (sunday afternoon).

I will bullet it:

•  We arrived to find the that someone had smashed the toilet window and twisted the frame trying to get into the house ... there was glass everywhere.
• So, Steve went inside to make sure the house was safe, while I stayed outside.
• There was no one inside, so I went inside and up the hallway and started taking picture hooks off the walls.  
• I saw 2 Policemen in a police car stop outside the house.  So I went out and talked to them.  They had been rung about a break in, by someone two doors up.
• I showed them the smashed window, and they said they would come back in a minute to talk to me.

• They went up the road to the house next door.  
• Then a few minutes later 4 Policemen came down the driveway and said it was Lacy's house that had been reported as broken into.
• They said they would take a look around the 'perimeter' ... so 3 of them went around the back of the house, and one of them went to the front door and talked to Steve.

• I was still in the carport by our car.
• I decided to open the little shed at the back of the carport to see how much rubbish we needed to move to the road.
• I opened the door and felt some resistance?Then I saw a sneaker moving really fast, getting behind the door!
• So in an instant I thought ... OMG, someone is in the shed!
• And I started screaming "HELP HELP, THERE'S A GUY IN THE SHED" !!!  REALLY LOUDLY... as only a screaming woman can.
• Next second there's 4 cops and Steve all rushing to my aid.
• The cops took over then, and Steve pulled me away from the carport.

• The cops were yelling "Come out! Come out! Get down, get down!"  It was really scary!
• But... the bugger wouldn't come out, so the cops went in and hauled out not ONE, but TWO men, and threw them on the ground.

• One of them started to cry (he was only 16) and begging the cops not to beat him up!
• The other guy was pushed onto our car's bonnet!  Then on the ground.
• Meanwhile, I got the shakes... as any woman would, who had just found two burglars!
• The Police then arrested them, read them their rights (just like on the TV!) and hauled them away.
• After the guys were in the Police car two Policemen came back and took my statement and hopefully that is the end of that!

I took photos as it all unfolded in front of me.... surely the sign of a true blogger!  *smiles*

I can't believe I even thought to do it... I was so shocked by it all!

But, all's well that ends well... thank god no one was hurt, and Lacy and Keera were not still there.

NOW... back to 'normal' transmissions.  Today I'm returning the keys of Lacy's old house to Housing New Zealand, then Bex, Dante and I are taking Miss Keera back to her Mum.  In her NEW, and much SAFER home.

FREEDOM & DONNA:  how did you 'reply' to the comment left from (Anonymous): Bec yesterday?  I didn't know anyone could 'reply' to a comment left on my blog!  It's got me intrigued for sure.

ONWARD...

BEC and DONNA:  when I bring up the comment box I don't see a 'reply' button ANYWHERE!  Either I'm dense, or ???

Bex and I are off now to return keys to housing, then return Keera to her Mum...

Right, baby Keera has been returned to her Mum... and Bex, Dante and I are home again.  It's lunchtime, so I'm gunna eat some food then have a nap!
I'm like.... TIRED.

LYNDA:  Thank you, that fixed it for me.  I can now see the  'Reply' option.  I don't think I will be leaving 'REPLY Comments' very often... I'm busy enough just keeping the updates going throughout the day.
And I often leave a 'REPLY' on my blog... as I am doing right now to you.

TRACY:  funny eh?  One guy was 16, the other was way bigger and he was 19.  No doubt they will get a slap on the hand and that's it.  *sigh* ... Little shits.

BLONDIE:  nope, I hardly EVER drink now days... so no stiff drink for me.  I was only really scared/alarmed when I opened the door and saw that moving sneaker!  I slammed that door shut ruddy fast I can tell you!  

I kept thinking what a stupid thing for me to do! The police should have checked the shed before me... it was such an obvious place for any burglar to hide, IF they were still on the premises.  DOH!

End of Day:  a 'quiet' day almost.
Stew and I did the grocery shopping after dinner, and for once the supermarket was not crowded at all.  And we came in on budget for a change.
Time to relax now... watch some mindless TV and then off to bed.
