Bet you in 2 months he's gonna be confused as hell

Reminder, this is only for media that I've consumed. Not all media ever made. They're certainly helping me as a writer.

Last evening, I helped catch a porch pirate. I was talking to my brother on the phone, and looking out the kitchen window, when a head went past. For half a second, I was like, "Oh, the kids must be riding their bikes in the driveway." (We've given them permission to do so because we have a double-wide driveway, and it keeps them out of the street.) A tenth of a second later, my brain said, "Hey, dummy; that was no kid!" I moved to the back door, and saw this "dude" on a mountain bike. He circled around in the back of the drive, and looked into our carport. Then he rode back down the driveway, cut across our side yard, and stopped at my neighbor's porch. "OK; maybe this idiot was looking for their house," I thought. "They host evening/late evening get togethers from time to time." Then, as I watched, he reached onto the porch, picked up a large brown envelope with a black arrow on it (you know the company of which I speak), and began to ride off. I hobbled to the front window as he rode past, simultaneously telling my brother I needed to hang up with him to call the police and memorizing the guy's description. After getting off the phone with the police, I went next door to see if, perhaps, my neighbors had left something on the porch to be picked up. I mean... that could be the case, and I just called the police on the guy. As I approached the door, my neighbor came out, talking to the police on her phone. So, that answered that question. Within 10+/- minutes, a police officer pulled up. He informed us that they'd already apprehended the suspect, and then took our information. Long story already too long -- I know TL;DR. My neighbor got her stuff back, and the Meth head (the PD's description, not mine) was arrested. So, a little Thursday evening excitement. :-)
