Only time I have ever had anything like that happen...
We were at the garage late around 10:30 about a week after the second break-in. The cops were freaking out and checking the place like every 15mins. I forgot to call them and let them know I was gonna be in there...which apparently was the new policy. Anyway, we started seeing flashlights going though the windows and I got freaked (thinking maybe it was the guys who broke in...again) but then I noticed the cop car...then another...then another. They called in every cop from Strasburg to Mt. Jackson. The place was crawling with cops. I opened the back door to a jumpy deputy with his gun out...they sure were pissed when they found out who I was...
But I was really happy they were there. Its nice to see they were doing their job. They weren't impolite, but the few I spoke too that night were upset that the alarm had been put out for nothing. I guess it is different from harassing innocent people at 4AM...but if I was the owner of the Jeep, and I though I saw someone do it then go into your house...I'd want every one of you dragged out and put under the light. Asking for a search warrant would have been proper, but why make yourselves look more guilty? Just play their games and go back to bed.
