Another night at the motel where my sleep is interrupted.
Last night, one of our guests decided to steal his girlfriend's car keys.
I actually heard her yelling at him that she was going to call the cops. I was going to call ACW to see if she knew what was up, but I fell asleep before I made it to the phone. Did I mention I was tired?
I don't know how long after, but I found myself being woken up by a car alarm.
Car alarm: "HONK!HONK!HONK!HONK!" *pause*
Me: "Ungh."
Car alarm: "HONK!HONK!HONK!HONK!" *pause*
Me: "Blah."
Car alarm: "HONK!HONK!HONK!HONK!" *pause*
Me: "Alright!"
As I was getting dressed to investigate, the phone rang. I had Hubs take the call from ACW, since I had to put on clothes. Hubs said ACW wanted to know if the cops should be called. I didn't see why, but if she wanted to, whatever. Hubs also said ACW had taken three complaints so far for the car alarm. Wonderful.
Once I was clothed, I went out. Guest's GF is sitting in her car. Guest is yelling at her from the balcony to close the car door.
Me: "You need to shut that off."
GF: "He stole my keys! I can't! Can't you just call the cops, please?"
Me: "Okay, they're on their way."
I went to go talk to ACW. Apparently, Guest's GF had asked her to call the cops earlier, which is why she asked me when she called. We figured she's the one I heard before I dozed off.
On my way back to the room, I saw the police had arrived. They'd parked near the end of our driveway, and were weaving around the buildings on foot. They had at least four officers I saw talking to Guest and his GF when I got back around to my room. I had the feeling they knew each other from previous encounters.
Bonus: The Quest for the Loaded Gun
Other MOD got to deal with this excitement a couple days ago.
So in a nearby neighborhood (near where I live and deliver newspapers, of all places
), some guy stole a car and pulled a gun on the car's owners when they confronted him about it. During the chase that ensued, the car thief drove around our lot in an attempt to lose the pursuit. When they finally arrested the guy, the gun was missing. So Other MOD and Maint Man got to help the police scour our bushes to see if the gun was ditched there.
They didn't find the gun in our lot, and last I heard, they hadn't found it anywhere else either. So there's possible a loaded gun lying out in the neighborhood here somewhere. Fun times.
