Well, this explains the FIVE cop cars blocking my street when I came home from golf last night around nine.
Apparently, my neighbor heard some kids in her backyard and front door, panicked, and called 911. They swarmed the place for naught. I pulled over (had no choice, couldn't get by them), asked what was going on (nothing), and waited till they all talked into their shoulder boxes a few times and then they started to disperse.
I personally, have not had a single moment's worry for my personal safety since I moved here eight years ago, but I am VERY aware of my surroundings at all times and take all the common sense precautions.
BTW, I love how my new buddy over at Baltimore Crime described this story!
I saw that over on Baltimore Crime. I'm looking for a rmmate and someone who is interested is going to be a MICA grad student. Perhaps I should send her the article as a way to persuade her to live in Hampden not Bolton Hill??
Hey, that was actually Chuck, who IS a (natural) man!
But thanks for reading!
