Another day, another crime.

Have to say it: Last night, as I was walking Buster, I witnessed another crime.

Some kid was trying to get into a woman’s ground-floor apartment on the north side of Farmington, basically across the street from the church and my house. The woman said that she heard him coming in and told him to leave. He stopped for a minute, but resumed his efforts, even after she escalated her threats to calling the police. Frustrated and afraid, she ran out of her apartment building and screamed for help while calling the police.

That’s when I stepped onto Farmington Avenue, heard the commotion and say the would-be burglar flee.

She mentioned that she could smell alcohol on the kid’s breath. Kudos to the cops for showing up quickly and in force – two cop cars were there within ten minutes or so. But there wasn’t much they could do, and they just take down some info. One cop even said to me that they basically just record these kind of events.

Just wanted to report what I saw. Am I a crime magnet or what?
