Okay, on Thursday night at ten, I had a story on KRBC about some alert neighbors that not only stopped a burglar from breaking in, they chased him away to do it! (See the story here.)
Talk about doing the right thing! I spoke with one of the residents whose home was protected by these guardian-neighbors...he told me, "I've got the best neighbors around!" While that's a bold claim, he has a point!
How many neighbors do you know that would walk DOWN the alley to investigate a "Booming" sound? Then when they found the man kicking at the back door, how many would stand there and say "You're not doing this!" ?
The list is pretty short, I'm sure.
That's what impressed Koda Freeman and his roommate. As Freeman says in the story, most people would've seen the break-in and MAYBE call the police, buy mainly just write it off as "Not their problem." There's merit to that statement, if you think about it, otherwise all crime would be blotted out.
So what would you do? Would you have stopped the man? I'm sure we'd all like to think that, I know I would to think I'd step in, but saying and doing are two different things. That is unless you are the neighbors in this story.
