I have recently moved to an apartment. My complex is unique in that is set up with a small city in it. There is a main street which my apartment overlooks. I walk my dog several times a day along the sidewalk by the shops. On Easter, the place was a ghost town. All the shops were closed. No one was out at all. I went to cross the street and head back when a crazed pickup sped by and almost hit me and my dog. He turned into a side street. He apparently scrambled around the entire apartment. He emerged onto Main Street where I was heading back and he suddenly stopped right by me and screamed: "Hey, have you seen a girl in a red shirt?" No other description at all.
I replied: "Nope, but you need to slow down and stop driving so dangerously." He got mad and drove off more wildly than he had been driving before. I noticed on his back window, an oval sticker that read "Do you follow Jesus this close?"
I immediately called my cop friend Jay and relayed the event. Jay and his buddies caught up to the guy and arrested him for not only driving erratically but also outstanding warrants. Jay later told me that the sticker helped find him, that and the fact that he was still driving wildly.
He showed me his picture and I confirmed that that was the guy.
So you see these christ symbols aren't all bad. They helped to arrest a christian that had warrants out on him.
I felt good that Easter Sunday. One of the few times I felt so good about an entirely unnecessary holiday!

Haha nice!
Gald to see you back California girl!
Damn, Myk. That was awesome. Gave me a good chuckle to get my day started. I absolutely LOVE IT when assholes like that get what they deserve. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. LOL
Hey, Cali! How ya doin', girl?
Poor guy is looking for his lost six year old daughter who was last seen wearing a red shirt and you get him arrested. That's tough to praise.
On the other hand, I worked with Hispanic gangs in Santa Anna, Ca. They all have tattoos of crosses and Jesus as well as bible quotes scribbled into their skin. I can not tell you the number of crimes that were solved simply on the basis of identifying a certain religious tattoo.
Who said anything about a six year old daughter?
Even if he was looking for a 6 year old child, driving around a neighborhood like a maniac is counter productive and still a ticketable offence.
A 6 year old child can not travel far by herself, unless the dad left the 6 year old child unattended for an extended period of time, (that is an even greater offence in my mind.) She would not be far. Running in a spiral starting with in the house to locate the daughter is far better and more effective then jumping in a vehicle and driving like a maniac.
If the child was believed to be taken by an adult based on some sort of evidence the person found prior, no amount of fast driving around the block looking for the kid is going to help. Calling the police and talking to anyone in the immediate area (on foot) is much more effective, and faster.
It is just icing on the cake that the maniacal driver also had arrest warrants on him. Who knows, someone that has outstanding arrest warrants (evading the law already,) may not been looking for his daughter but perhaps a kid he kidnapped. Perhaps he lost custody of his daughter and kidnapped her, and she managed to escape.
He never said it was a six-year-old daughter and the guy looked too young to have a six-year-old. Anyway even if he had a six-year-old lost daughter it isn't my fault he got locked up I reported a crime which was essentially would resulted in a ticket but he had warrants.
Good story!
Nice one Myk.
Thank God for believers...
Oops. Wrong forums...

P.S. - Damn good story Myk. Glad someone had enough sense...
Give it up, Arakish. We see you back there. No way you can hide behind that tiny-ass tree.
OMG (oh my goodness) Tin-Man. You had me laughing so hard I had tears and something else coming out from my eyes and other facial appendage.
Thanks. I needed that.
