I am an overnight security guard at a large retail chain. My police scanner and cell phone are my constant companion during my shift.
Last night the local police had a report of a small red four door car that had four occupants, one of them had pulled a gun on someone and had fled the scene. I heard all this on the scanner.
There is a large supermarket next to our large parking lot.
These young kids decided to act stupid in my parking lot (which is considered trespassing after store hours) before they stole some beer from the supermarket. They passed through my parking lot about three times then they parked and stopped and then passed by my patrol vehicle three times enabling me to get their plate number. They even passed by while I was on the phone talking to the police. Then they had sense enough to leave after that.
By this time the police were in the area and was waiting for them.
Ten minutes later the youngsters pull on the north side of the super market which is poorly lit, one youngster gets out and enters the supermarket, the other ones in the car spot police and attempt to flee driving towards front of store, they were surrounded by five police cars. The guy that went in runs out with a 30 pack of beer right in front of all the police. Jumps over a brick wall into a field with the beer, police nab him on other side.
If they were wise they should have stolen the beer and left, instead of coming over where I was to mess with security. This got them a free ride to jail and their car got a free ride to the impound yard.
