Stories! I have been the victim of a few crimes.
One story that keeps coming up for me lately is the story of a young couple who were accosted a little after midnight, when they were coming home. This happened close to 30 years ago. A couple guys decided they were going to beat the carp out of them before they even got out of their car. The husband died as a result of the assault and the wife had serious brain injury and remembers nothing. One of the criminals dropped his ID in the car and didn't realize it.
One Sunday afternoon, I was out working in my front garden and I see a small newer car park in front of my neighbor's home with two men sitting in, wearing suits. Two young men come walking down the street. They cross the street just before the car. The two men in the car take the two young men into custody, and cop cars show up and take them away. Well, what just happened there?
Later, in a news story, I read the address of the man who dropped his ID in the car. It was less than two blocks from me, and I saw those two men who committed that crime get arrested.
The young couple who was beaten owned a clothing store called Fashion Nation that sold Doc Martin shoes, and other clothing for younger people. The store got moved. I drove by it the other day, on my way to somewhere else. I always wondered how that woman is doing. She must be around 50 now.
While I was not happy about what happened to that couple, it was very interesting to see that arrest go down and then to find out what that was all about.
