Build a Better Mousetrap

We had a shoplifter bolt on a loss prevention employee at Kohl's yesterday. He did the old switcheroo...he put on some new kicks and put his old sneakers in the box and walked out of the store. Employees tried to stop him in the parking lot and then the foot pursuit started. So he ran away in the sneakers he stole; some irony there. One of the new officers got him a few minutes later. Actually it was Officer I-Can't-Backup.

Anyways, we were passing on the information at shift change when another senior officer, Timmy, chimed in with a funny story about his college days. It took him 7 years to get his bachelor degree, so he did some serious partying at University of Delaware. He worked part-time for Macy's as a loss prevention employee at the Christiana Mall.

One weekend morning, Timmy is either still drunk or severely hungover and slept through his alarm for work. The loss prevention guys had the store keys and alarm codes, so when he rolls over in bed at 11am, he realizes that all 30 Macy's employees are probably standing in the parking lot waiting for him to show up.

Timmy shows up eventually, sick from booze and guilt. He opens up the store, gets a lecture from the store manager, and promptly locks himself in the camera room, hoping to sleep the day away.

After a few hours of sleep, a Macy's employee is screaming into the portable radios that he is chasing a shoplifter. Timmy wakes up, looks at the cameras, and sees that he can cut the shoplifter off if he heads out the back corridor to the loading entrance at the rear of the store. So Timmy runs down the back corridor and out the loading entrance. Timmy, at a svelt 260 pounds of drinking prowess, realizes something other than the hangover is slowing him down.

He looks down to see that he stepped on one of the glue mouse traps in the back corridor, which is now stuck to his feet. Timmy motors on. He ends up catching the guy hiding behind a dumpster, handcuffs him, and begins walking back to the store. The shoplifter starts laughing his ass off at Timmy. Timmy figures his fly is down; he usually forgets at least once a week.

Timmy gets him back to the loss prevention office and secures his arrestee, who is still laughing at him. Timmy does a little self check and finds that the glue trap has 3 mice stuck to it and the mouse tails are sticking out from underneath the sides of his sneaker. The trooper from the Delaware State Police who responded to the call told Timmy that he made his day.

Carson, I was wondering what the policy is for a motorist not pulling over when your lights are flashing? About 2 weeks ago coming home from Vermont I passed through a small town on highway 4. This is my usual route and the speed goes from 55 down to 35 as you pass through a few small towns. So I know that an officer is there almost every time at the first town so I slow down to the limit. And , yes he was there yet again. Well a mile or two down the road it's back up to 55. So I'm driving along when I notice the same officer with his lights flashing attempting to pull over the driver behind me. Well , this kid is not pulling over. The funny part is he's not attempting to speed up or outrun the officer, but he does not pull over. So I speed up to about 62 or so to get away from this madness. Now I no longer see the officer or the driver in my rearview so I assume he must have finally pulled over. Well another 7 miles or so down the road I come up to another small town where you need to slow down. Well , in my rearview mirror I can again see the officer following behind the driver. So I regain my speed again as we come out of this small town. The driver is now driving in the wrong lane but still not really speeding, and nobody is on the road anyway. But I decide I've had enough and pull over and let this chase or following pass me by. I considered blocking this stupid driver at one point, but thought better not to. I just could not figure out why the officer did not just cut him off. So now I have front row seats to amuse myself while I drive home.Anyway as we pass each town another State Trooper joins the chase/following until there was about 5 different town officers/State Troopers with lights flashing. I'm not sure how long this went on in front of me, maybe 15 miles. Finally State Troopers diverted him off the highway at one of the exits by blocking the highway. I do not know what ever happened. But I was just curious why one of the police vehicles did not attempt to cut him off and stop him?

Both were in houses. One on the bed and one on the floor of the bedroom. No real story in it in my opinion. But OMG the smell was unbelievable. That's what shocked me the most.

I think I might have the newspaper article somewhere. I'll take a look at some point.

I don't know Vermont policy, obviously, so I can't speak to it specifically. But in NJ the pursuit policy generally prohibits cutting off a vehicle during a pursuit. We're not even supposed to pull alongside the vehicle being pursued. Even a roadblock needs to be approved by a supervisor on the radio and must have an avenue of escape for the pursued vehicle. Silly. Why? Liability, of course.

I say generally prohibited because under special circumstances it may be allowed but only at low speeds; not highway speeds. And you better be able to explain why you took that action. Like "the driver was drunk and was heading into a school zone at 2pm" type of explanation.

NJ pursuits are not like what you see in California. Your liberal judges have seen to that.
 
My liberal judges? If I ran this state it would be MANDATORY for an officer to shoot out at least 1 tire per year in a car chase or they be sent back to the academy for a refresher course.

Rumor is that you delivered yourself, which would also explain the stink.

Can you come over and hook me up with the Golden Girls? ;-)
 
How did this woman call for help if her home phone was not hooked up, and her cell phone was turned off?

P.S. - Please turn on Knight Rider for me. Thanks.

JC. She lives in low income, senior apartments. She had the old bitty next door call.

If it wasn't 90 degrees in her apartment, I'd have made popcorn and watched an episode or two. It's called community policing nowadays.
 
I'm giggling thinking of someone watching The Golden Girls, a show to her is about 3 young ladies.
