Before heading to the LA County Fair this morning I called the Fairplex Security Office regarding Off Duty LEO / 417. I was pleasantly surprised when a live person answered the phone. I was even more surprised, nay astonished when the Security person said "No problem. Badge them at the Metal Detectors and you will be taken to show creds to Pomona PD."
I did just that, but the first security guard I talked to tried to turn me away. I politely said that I had confirmed it was OK with the Fairplex Security. He walked me over to a couple of nice PPD officers and they looked at my creds and said "Thanks, Have fun."
When you always expect a hassle and clueless runaround, this kind of stuff can really make your day. There was also an unexpectedly high number of cool displays, especially video game and Halloween displays. Fairplex seems to be upping their game!
Later in the day, my S/O left her wallet behind on one of those 25 cent foot vibrator machines. At least 30 mins passed before it was realized to be missing. Of course I say "It is long gone. Start cancelling the cards, and the cash will be a loss."
We sort of forlornly retrace path back to the foot massage spot. Some dude is there waving the wallet around trying to find the owner. We recover it, nothing at all missing. I offer the guy a reward and he pleasantly declines, happy to have reunited the property to its owner.
Just when you have written off society and cast all hope asunder, something like this happens.
Go figure.
