      Got home from work yesterday and there was a message on our machine from one of the local law enforcement agencies that our “2008 Saturn, gray, was referenced in a suspicious activity report.”

      At first I panicked, thinking our son was up to something, but then realized the gray 2008 is OUR Saturn, not his. So Trekkin’ makes the call. He’d placed a geocache in a park last weekend, and “lots of people have been coming since that truck was there!”

      The police were fine with it, even chuckled, and we suspect the person calling is one who calls often, since it took them three days to contact us, LOL.

      I think you’ll find this happens more often in small, relatively unused areas. Neighbors of these smallish parks tend to consider the park property as their personal back yard.

      It happens on dead end road caches too.

      Officer, we think there’s more drug dealing down on the end of our road…. I went down there and there’s this plastic container magnetted to the back of that sign and it has a smiley face on it. I was afraid to open it. Then my fingerprints would be on it… and worse, it might be a bomb. And those people that show up are a pretty scarey looking crew…. Here are a few of their license plate numbers.

      Okay, that was fun.

      You know along these lines, my wife told me that she called the police the other day because someone was driving around in a black BMW with one of those “ex husband in trunk” kind of prank body parts sticking out of the trunk and my wife could not tell if it was fake or real!! And it just did not look “right” for this prank to be pulled on this particular type of vehicle.. The police took her call VERY seriously….

      Point of view can be very interesting!

      Most people are told…”You really need to get out more!!!”

      Maybe you two need to be told…”You really need to stay in more often!!!”
