Teenagers

We had some excitement at our house about 8:40 Saturday night. We were watching tv and heard some kids talking outside. They were in the alley by our house. I didn't turn the porch light on to see who it was. Then all of a sudden they hit our front door. We jumped up, opened the door but no one was there. Scott went to the end of the porch and could see them running down the alley. So, reverting to the cop he used to be, he grabbed his shoes and chased after them. They had gone in different directions so he chased some of them down the alley going North. He caught one of them and made him come back to our house. Then one of them was riding a bike and rode back by our house. Scott told him "In my hard, NOW". He told them that they had woken Cheyenne up and they didn't need to be hanging around here and made them call their parents to come pick them up. I knew both of the boys through the rec. They said they didn't do it but didn't know who did. You can't tell me that they were all together and they didn't see who came up on our porch and hit our door. One of the boys' mom came and picked him up and Scott took the other one home. His parents weren't at home so he took him to his mom's work. He had the boy show him where the other kids lived and Scott went to talk to their parents. None of them were at home. Most of them were at the bar! That's why these kids are out causing trouble!

When Scott got to one of the kid's house the other boy was there too. Scott said they were pretty scared. He told them he would be back Sunday evening to visit with their parents. When I found out who these kids were I knew them too from the rec. Scott asked them if they knew his wife. They didn't. He asked them if they've ever been to the rec and they said they had and Scott said that I was his wife. One of them was like "Oh, man!"

Scott found a couple cops sitting up town and talked to them about it. He told them that he had advised the boys of trespassing (he had a cop word for it). If they step foot on our property again they will go to Bob Johnson's (I didn't know what that was and neither did the boys). It is the boys' home.

I don't know if they were playing Ding-Dong Ditch or if they just thought it would me funny since they were standing there. My guess is they won't do it again though. I bet they never imagined someone would come chasing after them and show up at their house! Some of them may not come up to the rec for awhile either!
