This morning as my wife leaves for work she calls and asks if I gave anyone permission to park a U Haul on our lawn next to the cornfield? I said no, to that she replied there was one and I should check it out.
I grab my shorts to head out and find out why it’s there as she calls me back and said she was calling 911 to report it.....good call!
Within 10-15 minutes there was about 8-10 state, county and city police cars and officers in my driveway.

A canine unit was also sent. I watched from my house as I was instructed to stay inside, the events unfold like a movie from COPS.
First the bullhorn repeating if anyone was inside the U haul to come out, or they may get bit by the dog. Then, guns drawn they surround the U Haul.

No one there so they put the dog on the trail. Officers surround my cornfield as the dog tracks the guy through it to the neighbors deer blind and arrest him.

The detective came up to speak with me after all was clear.
Apparently the U haul was used in a theft and the guy or guys ditched it here and took off on foot, they caught one but he wasn’t saying if there were others, so me and Mr. Benelli are best friends today in case they missed one.

Towing company came out and hauled away the U Haul to an impoundment.

Good thing I didn’t go fishing today, Ida missed the excitement!
All this makes me appreciate the boys in blue even more than I did before (which was a lot) they do their jobs well and should be respected for their duty, which seems like lately there has been a lot of disrespect directed at them.

I thanked the Detective and asked him to let the other officers know of my appreciation.
