It was a fun game, I normally go to about one a year, but I enjoy it. The Angels won. Apparently this caused some sort of kharmic imbalance in the universe, because as we were walking back to my car, a woman came up to me and said "is that your car? someone just broke into it, and my husband is chasing him!" As you can imagine, I was shocked and stunned. This nice couple had also called the police. In a few minutes the police had set up a perimeter, and were walking around with the K-9 unit. I didn't really have anything valuable in the car, luckily the ipod with mousepod's latest episode was locked safely in the trunk.
About 20 minutes later, the police had found someone who ran from them. They took this couple one at a time to id him. Apparently it was the guy, according to them.
On the ground outside of the car, amidst the broken glass of my passenger window were 2 of my parking receipts from Disneyland, which seemed very bizarre, also included in the mess was a "Notice to Appear" for the Costa Mesa PD for someone I didn't know (Did the guy actually drop this?)
The police came back to me and asked my if I was missing anything like a Disneyland button or pin. I remembered that I had one of those Ariel's Grotto buttons from the last time we took my daughter there for her birthday. I mentioned the button, and they both looked at each other and smiled.
Apparently Ariel helped make the bust.
Major mojo for the couple who took the time to get involved, without them and the police, this guy would have gotten away.
I'm bummed about the window, but from what I can tell, nothing valuable was taken, and at least I got to sleep in a nice warm bed last night. I don't think I can say the same for him.
