(11,202 posts)She moved, left her car on the side of the street partially in front of our house. After is sat there I while we called the police. When the officer arrived and saw the car, amazingly he knew who owned it and gave her a call. She pleaded ignorance of who was behind it but, since her car was the only car on the street that got shot up we figured she knew who did it. They gave yer 72 hours to move it before they would have it towed. We were a few feet away from the cop but she was so mad about the call that we could her where we stood.
And then there was the family that made a business of taking in young foster kids. Evidently the occupancy rate per bedroom goes up when you take in kids under the age of 5. I could never tell how many they had but it was a lot, allowed to run loose with almost nil adult supervision. The first time I became aware that they took in a little girl about 18 months old was when I came home one day and she was walking down the middle of the street, no adult in sight. When I pulled up in my driveway I was light "Who is supposed to be watching her?" I should have called the police. Animal control took away every pet they ever owned but somehow they were allowed to keep the kids. Something had to have been up with the foster dad because they moved out in the middle of the night one night.
