Armchair Crime Fighting
I prevented a crime today, just by my very existence. A pretty impressive feat, I'm sure you'll agree.
While sitting at my desk this afternoon I was suddenly aware of a man peering in at me just a few feet away over next door's fence. Then another popped up for a peek. I shot them a filthy glance and turned away, assuming it was their latest batch of workmen, doing their caveman thing ("ug...you wo-man").
It took me a couple of minutes to realise that this was not quite right. Living in a Victorian terrace I can hear my neighbours through the wall, and the absence of that infernal screaming baby surely meant nobody was home.
After much snooping, I came to the conclusion that there were no neighbours at home, there was no building work being done, and that I had in fact foiled the evil plans of would be burglars - TaDaah!
Upon hearing the news of his talented wife, my husband came over all protective and called the local police station. Within a few minutes they were storming through the house like a SWAT team, although of course the culprits had long since disappeared.
They shouldn't escape the long arm of the law for too long though, due to my superlative powers of observation. Watch out for them on a wanted poster near you: Two white males, one wearing a hood. Pure genius.
