My feet failed me |12:55 AM| (By the way, if this entry seems a bit choppy, it's edited from a conversation I had with another person about the incident)

I failed to catch a criminal. Some asshole was breaking this guy's windshield and other windows on his car. I realized what he was doing when his getaway vehicle pulled up, and he jumped into it. I was at Vorpal's apartment, and we had heard the smashing noises. So I look out and immediately realize something Bad is going on.

Vorpal says "What's going on?" (as I'm slamming on my shoes)
Me: "Dunno. It's criminal! See ya!"

Off I went. I'm bolting through the apartment complex.I cut through one building only to find a dead end. I turn around, keep running, find the right way...I just wanted a picture of his plates I couldn't read them before, too dark. Either a picture, or a good guess at what they were I didn't want to engage them, that'd be tremendously stupid.

I'm running, and are met with a 6 foot tall goddamn wall. Oh, and it's topped with a 4 foot tall metal fence. I scale the wall, jump the fence And I'm in the pool area. it's got those damn metal button keypads to lock it, for safety reasons or something. I get to one of them, find it locked, curse, and try to jump the damn thing (the poles at the top were taller, more hazardous of a jump) I start to vault it when it pops open.

FUCK

...and I almost fall on my ass. I can see the parking lot, I can see the truck It's exiting the complex
If they had gotten a red light, I would have had them But nooooo.

It was green, and they were gone. Told the cops my part of the story when they got there. It was clearly someone the car owner knew, as it was targeted, and not a theft. Hopefully the cops will tell the guy, and the guy will say "Oh yeah, white guy, dark blue ford pickup. I know just who that is"
As I was running, I was thinking "A green pickup with a shitty muffler is the car of the guy that stole my stereo so long ago. Damn them. VENGENCE IS MINE!" Sure, not the same guy, but in the great swirling crap shoot that is life, it would balance.
Hopefully, the guy will get nailed for this.

Cowards should always pay.
PAAAAAAY
