Hey there folks! I hope there are some LEOs on the boards from the Long Beach PD; just wanted to express my thanks and appreciation for a quick, professional resolution to an incident that occurred early this morning.
Here's the story;
About 1 AM this morning, I wake up to some unknown loud-ish banging sound coming from outside. My being a very light sleeper; I typically wake up due to all manner of things - dogs barking, car alarms, animals running around, etc.
However - for some strange reason, this one felt very different. For some reason, I couldn't shake that "odd" feeling. Since I couldn't fall back to sleep, I got up, took a tour of the house, checked outside - and all "seemed" okay.
After that, I decided to relax on the couch, see if I could shake it off and get some sleep.
Before I know it, I hear a bunch of cars out front of my house, and as I get up to check it out, I see several officers with flashlights coming down my driveway. By the time I get to the light switch and even understand what was going on; the officers were gathered around my truck saying "ok - come out now!"
Not really sure the best way to proceed, I offer the officers access to my back driveway/yard (guarded by a large gate), and they respond, very calmly - "nope - we're all set!".
Turns out a couple of punks had stolen a car, ditched it, and took off in different directions. The officers quickly apprehended the first suspect, and followed the other to her hiding spot - UNDER MY TRUCK!
Anyway - not much drama here. But it's great there wasn't any drama - a bunch of great officers doing their jobs perfectly. The only downside was they had to see my fat gut without a shirt on at 1:45 in the morning.
Thanks again guys; I'm glad you're out there.
