Criminals?

We live in a very small village...conservative, quiet

with very little crime. Over the years everyone has

joked that it's a little like Mayberry. We have one

police officer on duty at a time and they really have

little to do. Most evenings you can find them at

the tiny grocery store parked side by side with

the county sheriff chatting and killing time.

This week Mister took a friend to the airport

and had the friends car parked in front of our house.

Next day he went to drive it to friend's apartment, just

one mile away and on his way to work. But he barely

got it down our street when the transmission went

out. So, he pulled into a parking lot and left the car

for the day. That evening, The Mister walked down

to get the car and bring it back to our house.

He was poking along at about 2 miles an hour down our

street when a lady officer pulled along beside him and

rolled down her window. She asked a dozen questions,

like "What are you doing?" and "Do you live in this

neighborhood?" She followed him home, came inside and

wanted to see ID and get friend's name, etc.

We laughed about it and then I recalled a similar situation

happening to Taylor about 2 years ago with the same officer!

He was leaving a friend's house on the other end of town and

the police pulled up behind him and followed him out of the

neighborhood. She finally turned on her lights and pulled him

over and asked questions like "Do you live in this neighborhood?"

"What are you doing here?", etc. Only having had his license a

week, it unnerved Taylor, but we still had a good laugh!

They don't really look like suspicious criminals, do they?

At least not like these guys!

Wouldn't you say by the looks of these real mug shots that

the moral of the story would be to never break any laws

when you're having a really bad hair day!
