Town OF Clinton Police - Quit Laughing At Me!

Ok, so crazy stuff around here lately!! But to tell the story correctly I must go back about six weeks ago when I moved into the house. As I was moving in, I noticed a blue suitcase outside of my window. I thought it was weird but just figured that we had neighbors that decorated with a "unusual" sense of style. So I didn't give it another thought. OK, so now flash forward until a couple of days ago. Hannah and I are hanging out around the house and hear a knock at the door. It is our neighbor. He asked, "Is that your suitcase in between our houses?" We both kinda looked at each other and replied that it wasn't. Both of us were confused. And at this point I am not remembering the blue suitcase I saw weeks ago. So, anyway we asked about details about this suitcase and he said his son had found it. It then dawned on me that I had seen one and I said, "Is it blue?" "No," he said. "It's black." (And at this point we realize there are TWO suitcases in the backyard.) So at this point all three of us thought something a little strange was going on. So our neighbor said his son was a detective and that his son said that that sounded really suspicious and that we should have the police check it out. So we let a couple of days go by thinking that the neighbor called the police. So today I was in the backyard and noticed the suitcases were gone. (They were there yesterday though.) Weird. But - I found something else. A garbage bag full of clothes hidden under a tree/bush thing. So Hannah and I decided we needed to call the cops. We both called, and they laughed at us. Like we were some morons who were making this up. Then they finally showed up, like 6 hours after we called, and sent like a 10-year-old. OK, not that young - but he was young. (And cute, which of course was nice...;)) So he did validate us and that was nice. Long story short - although it is likely this person has been hanging out in our basement (although windows looked secure), or the shed (which is the most likely because it did look like it had been "messed with"), or in between our houses, or in a car, this person has probably moved on (due to the suitcases missing) and we are probably OK. But isn't that SO RANDOM??? Kinda strange too. (But we do live off of a major highway and w/in walking distance of two prisons - but this Clinton. Beautiful, small, rural CLINTON.) However, we have always heard bumps up against our house late at night. But we always assumed they were deer. So - Hannah and I have come to the conclusion that maybe we have a third roommate we always didn't know about??? FREAKY, huh!!! And now a bazillion kids are IM'ing me about it. Wow, word flies fast here. Awww...they care about my safety and say I need mase. LOL...I did have some, back in the good ol' days at FSU when I actually needed to have it just in case.;)

So funny! Well, kinda scary, too...within walking distance of a prison? So the suitcase just sat there for months without anyone saying anything about it? lol.

If he (or she?) was living in your basement, you should track him (or her) down and charge him (or her) rent for the last six months! haha.

Do you want me to stop making noises when out side your house. Just install cameras inside and wire them to the van parked across the street and I wont have to peek in windows and knock on walls any more.
