Can you spot the disconnect?

Quote
Denver police have arrested four suspects accused of unwittingly trying to sell items they stole back to the burglary victim.

KMGH-TV (http://tinyurl.com/mqhetvy ) reports Lacinda Robinson discovered the items missing at her home on Friday and drove to the parking lot of a nearby fast-food restaurant to report the theft. That's where she says she was approached by two people ....

It boggles my mind, it does.  With all the stuff reported as taken, the disconect is shocking.

stay safe.

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

Those are the cases that won't be featured on the next episode of Criminal Minds.

Maybe she still had a landline and they even stole the phone for that?

Given that I've seen statistics that something like 30% of households use illegal drugs?  I'd say that's a good bet.

If you geniuses read the second link in the OP, you'll see her stated reason for the fast-food rendezvous.  :P

Not quite.

She "drove to the parking lot of a nearby fast-food restaurant to report the theft" where she then "was approached by two people asking if she wanted to buy a video game set.  Robinson says she was startled when another person walked up wearing her jacket. She went next door to a gas station and found two off-duty police officers ...."

1 - drive to nearby fast food place
2 - get approached with offer to buy video game
3 - see someone wearing her jacket
4 - go next door [to the fast food place] to find two off-duty cops*

Nice, simple, and linear reading.

stay safe.

* - Why have I never seen off-duty cops on the merchandise racks at gas stations?  (I'm guessing the person who typed up the story intended to say she saw two cops, who happened to be off duty, at the gas station next to the fast food place and saved her coins by making her theft report to them.  But I could be wrong and the gas station actually does stock off-duty cops.)

Yeah, actually, quite. He said read the second link.

Robinson called police about the burglary, and explained that she would wait for them at a nearby McDonald's parking lot because she didn't feel safe staying in her home.

Killjoy.

My initial guess - that the "fast food" joint was actually a donut shop - would have made for a better story.  ;)

Thanks, bedlamite. She told the cops she didn't feel safe at the house, and wanted them to meet her down the road. Doesn't sound all that crazy.
