Ohhhh, your THAT lady...
Yesterday at the PD....
DING DONG....
Me:yes ma'am , what can I do for you?
LADY: My neighbor has cut the pine trees that I have for privacy between the two properties.
Me: what do you mean cut them? trimmed, removed, what?
LADY: well Im not quite sure, my husband called me and told me. He knew I would be upset.
LADY: I am a cleaning lady and I had to call my client and tell them that I couldnt make it, because I needed to see the Police.
Me: Ohhhhh, so you have not even seen what was done to the trees?
LADY: No.
Me: Ok, let me get some info...name? DOB? address?
LADY: What are you going to do about this?
Me: well ma'am I need to first know what was done to the trees, and with what intent was it done. Did your neighbor trim their side of your trees that had over grown over the property line? DId he cut your trees down? Did he tell his tree people to make them look pretty and pay for the job, because he is a nice guy...>? See, I need to know what he did before I can do anything.
LADY: Can you call him and have him come in and tell you?
Me: I could, but you are the one complaining about something that you have not witnessed yet.
Me: Have you had your property surveyed, or the boundry lines staked or marked?
LADY: no
Me: How do we know whose property the trees are on?
LADY: they are on mine.
Me: how do I know that?
LADY: because they were there before I moved in.
Me: so your saying that your assuming that they are, because that what you were told?
LADY: welllll, ummmmmm, I guess.
Me: Listen...go home...see what was done to the trees... maybe your husband is wrong and you will like it.
LADY: Ok
Me: then, if you decide you feel someone has done something wrong or criminal to your property, we will go from there, but it will require you to have your property staked , so we as the POLICE know whose property is whose property.
LADY: Ok, I understand.
Me: are you sure? Do you have any questions for me?
LADY: yes, I will call you when I get home.
Me: ok, I will be waiting for your call
LADY WALKS OUT THE PD DOOR..... I walk back to my desk and the doorbell rings again.
Me: Yes Mrs BLANK?
LADY: I thought you were going to follow me to give them a ticket..........
