What was that all about?

I had to go out this morning. I had to head to WaWa to get some bread. The traffic was fairly light, for a change, until I got close to a wholesale company. The traffic got very heavy… actually it was just about stopped.

There were a lot of police and fire vehicles going into the lot. I didn’t see any smoke or flames. I went on to the store and when I came back all the police and fire vehicles were gone. It had only been about 5 minutes. I’m guessing it was some kind of false alarm.

Kidnapping was a hoax

A Pennsylvania woman called 911 and said that a dark colored Cadillac hit her SUV in the rear and 2 black men put her and her daughter in the trunk. An all out search ensued and no trace of the mother and daughter could be found. The SUV was parked several blocks from where the 911 call came in and no damage was noted on the vehicle.

Last night it was said that the mother and daughter were seen at the airport boarding a flight to Florida. They were found at Disney World in a very expensive hotel (probably with a sleep number bed) and the mother has been arrested.

The mother had withdrawn a large sum of money from several bank accounts before heading to Florida. Where she got that amount of money is being investigated.

Busted

This morning I went to the store and saw a guy standing at the bus stop waiting for a bus. Roughly a half hour later I came back and there were 2 cop cars at the bus stop and they had that same guy I saw bent over one of the cars and they were slapping the cuffs on him.

I don’t know what he did but he’ll probably have the charges on the books for a long time. It’s not surprising to see this around here. Several years ago it used to be more upper scale people living in these condos. Then they brought in the bus line and things went down hill. There have been robberies, break-ins, drugs, etc. I miss the way it was.. but they say you can never go home again. I guess that’s true.

Scuffle with police

A man in Northfield got into a scuffle with police in front of his daughter’s school. The man is disabled and all of the handicapped spaces were taken by people without handicapped tags or placards so he parked his car somewhere else and evidently didn’t park it to the satisfaction of a Northfield police officer. The officer ordered the man to move his car and wouldn’t listen to any explanation the man tried to give. Instead he wrestled the disabled man to the ground and cuffed him which made his injury from a prior automobile accident worse.

This sounds like a case for a Lexington personal injury lawyer to me. The man was cuffed and dragged into the police car and his daughter was left standing in the rain on the sidewalk with no supervision. The man has filed complaints in the case.

Fires

There have been an awful lot of house fires in the area since the beginning of the year. There have been a lot of them that were arson fires in the Philadelphia area. The rash of arson fires has been going on since the beginning of last year. I hope these people followed up on their insurance quotes and had good insurance.

There have been 3 or 4 house fires in Galloway that completely destroyed the houses. I don’t know what I would do if I suddenly found myself homeless. That has to be one of the worst feelings in the world. I hope that’s something that we or our family never have to go through.
