Neighborhood Crime Stopper

So the other night I couldn't sleep because there was all this noise outside. Usually the neighborhood is really quiet, so I got up to see what was happening. There was a white van with no windows outside my window with its motor running. I could hear all this talking and laughing inside. When the motor turned off, nobody exited. Soon this guy got out with a flashlight and started looking in the cars on the street. That's when I decided to call the police. I gave the license plate number and soon five cop cars showed up.

It turns out the van was stolen and full of stolen items. Two of the three guys were arrested and the one looking in the cars seems to have gotten away. Anyway, I had to give a statement and the police were in the house until 3 a.m. I asked if I could have a get-out-of-jail-free card, but they said no. Too bad!
