I called the police...

   This evening I was working on my computer kinda late, and decided to step outside for a moment. Mind you it was about 2:30am. So I'm standing out there getting my fresh air when a car comes slowly down the road in front of our house. I notice it doesn't have its lights on when it slows almost to a stop in front of the house. It pulls into our neighbor's driveway and stops there. I didn't see anyone get out of the car, but it was really too dark to tell. I went inside thinking something isn't right here. I looked out the window at the neighbor's house to see if maybe some lights would come on, but I remembered that I hadn't seen my neighbors all day. Now I'm thinking someone's going to rob their house, so I went around and turnout on every last one of our exterior lights.
   At that point I thought I've been watching too much TV and being paranoid. It's probably nothing. But my neighbors are about in their 70s and doubtful they were having a late night visitor. And still the car sat there at the end of their driveway. Finally when I saw a shadow move in the yard I decided to call the police. Our police dept. responded in like a minute, and I saw the officer walking around outside with his flashlight. Next thing I knew he was in our backyard with another guy! Shortly after they both left.
   I couldn't help but call the police back to see if anything was wrong or if there was any reason to be concerned. Turned out this guy lost his dog, and apparently the dog had run into the woods behind our house. I figured it would be something stupid, but if my neighbor saw someone wandering around my house at 2:30am, I would be happy if they called the police.
